    Suicide

    Sorry to hear that! Don't know about tropical - my 18mo can't reach that tank, but the goldfish we 'accidentally' got seems to be completely bullet-proof!! I haven't 'tried' to freak him out - but I'm fairly sure I couldn't... We recently hosted the 'mommy coffee group' chrissy party here...

    how did u start fishkeeping?

    I bought a 10g for my sons 1st birthday. House got sold so I had to move before ever stocking it, and upgraded to a 15g somehow (I swear I have no recollection - honest!!! :liar:) between the 2 houses. My sons early Christmas present (hiding THAT in the wardrobe til December was plain...

    if u could create any fish wat would it be?

    I'm gonna have to 'swipe' Hooked Newbie's idea from another thread that I thought was absolutely brilliant at the time! Keyboard was broken then so I couldn't say so then :) Fishie's (I don't especially care WHAT sort - just small and peaceful) that change colour for ammonia, trites and trates...

    Sorry to hear you lost some trees!! Thank you for sharing the pics tho - it's about as close as I'll ever get to an ice-storm! Looks really awesome - and very, very COLD! :D

    T-time at the cory zoo.

    Congratulations that is so cool!! :D Must be the right time of year for them to 'do their thang' up there! Guess I'll be waiting for winter here maybe? Oh well, at least by then you will ALL be super experienced at spawning cute lil baby cory's and I can pick your brains!! :grinyes...

    spontaneous neon death

    I had 9 out of 10 have a 'suicide party' round back of my submersible filter. No real reason, they just wanted to check out that teeny, weeny, teensy, tiny lil hole... The other 1 decided to jam itself into some driftwood and couldn't get out... Parameters were perfect, no real reason for...

    Do you use "quick reply"

    Hehe - yeah my memory just ain't that good 'post baby'. I still use quick reply pretty much all the time unless I'm 'quoting' someone... Also explains my 'overuse' of :D :grinyes: ;) :headshake2::wall: :eek: Promise to work on some new ones :grinyes: ........just not today :headshake2:

    Can freshwater cycle with Shrimp?

    My fascination with using shrimp (which was actually a prawn) was the appeal of it being completely idiot proof and no hassles. 1 Prawn = 15 gallons Tie it up, chuck it in, wait!! I tried with using ammonia on the 10g first and failed dismally - all those water changes just kept driving me...

    broken aquarium all over my carpet.. what do i do?

    That would be my absolute WORST nightmare!! Hope you manage to get your hands on dehumidifier/fans and it all comes good for you!! Nothing useful to add I'm sorry, just 'sympathy'. I'm also with the 'don't tell the landlord unless you absolutely have to' brigade! Having to pay for new...

    Who is your best friend on AC?

    Anyone and everyone here who has 'nursed' me through multiple nervous breakdowns, tirelessly answered my really stupid questions and just been downright supportive when I needed some positive reinforcement!! Thanks guys - y'all rock!! :grinyes:

    Workout routines

    I've finally cracked and acknowledged I need some help working out what to do too. As we speak (or is that type??!) a very good friend of mine who was a Personal Trainer is customising a program for me. She was so happy to help me out I'm not sure whether to be terrified, mortified or...

    Dear Alcohol

    Hehe - yeah I DID do it (not on purpose) when I was in my early 20's :headshake2: I was the somewhat ... errrr ... loaded?? passenger on that trip - and fortunately "Occifer" had a sense of humour. Didn't stop him from breathtesting the driver tho!! He was sober so it ended up all good -...

    Even I think I go overboard when it comes to my fish.

    No story to add here - but I AM kinda relating... I'm busy nursing the goldfish I never wanted that came with the tank that I did :D I've put so much time and effort and worry into the lil guy he's now going to be with us for the rest of his lil fishie life instead of getting 'farmed out' to...

    Good Goldfish Friends?

    UPDATE: Fugs seems to be improving! Fingers crossed :) Also totally unrelated - was cooking some fish fillets (Hoki) for Lukeys dinner the other night. Made the stupid remark 'your fish is almost ready', at which point Lukey ran off on his lil 18 month old legs just as fast as he could go...

    large water changes

    I have that EXACT same problem :grinyes: Little treasures - but ooooh so curious.... I had no joy finding a python down here - what I have done is hook up a dishwasher/washing machine adapter to the kitchen sink which makes it the right size to hook a normal hose attachment to. Then got...
