Great! I hope you didn't name them something dumb like Dave -- that's such a stupid name, who'd want that name? only a big dork!

 

oh! lol Well one of them is called Dave, lol.

np lol.

Gwenz ;D

 

:'( One of the new guppies died, so I got another one b/c of the guarantee in the store but now another one has died. The new one seems fine tho, but the water is perfect so don't know why they're dying. :-\ :'(

probably a disease problem at the store. hopefully the new guy is good and Dave will make it.. you need a Dave there to bug you in person.

 

Well he's deffinately bugging me! He won't leave Mickey (the new guppie) alone chases him everywhere, to extent that micky now is hiding constantly. :-\

is it just the 2 of them now? that would be a problem and when you can get the 3rd guppy in maybe it'll improve.

 

yea just the two now. :-\ I don't know about a 3rd guppie. Dave chased the other 2 that died as well, its not just Mickey. Maybe dave is just a bit of a bully. :-\

he's just cranky since he wants to watch doctor who! really with guppys, you need 3 or more - otherwise the pecking order becomes a 1-sided bullying.. i'd get the 2 biggest male guppies the shop has.. take Dave out, rearrange the tank decor, then put the new guppies in before putting Dave in.. then maybe peace will reign in the guppy tank.

 

hmm ok. good idea. I'm not going to get ottos any more. I'll just do like you said get another 2 guppies and see what happenes.

Gwenz

 

K now there's 4 guppies in the 7.5gal. I've constructed this thing to put Mickey in to stop Dave chasing him and nipping while I treat him for finrot.

I hope it will help him. He seems to like it in there. I've never seen him swim so much! ;D

Gwenz

 

so.. you're saying it's good to get away from Dave.. is that it? :'(

 

lol No! I will miss talking to you while I'm on holiday! My question now is tho, is it best to leave him in the new set up while I'm on holiday just to make sure he doesn't get nipped/chased or anything while I'm away?

Gwenz ;D

Gwenz ;D

lol.. but you'll have fun.

i'm not sure really.. it's going to be your judgement call on that. do you think he'll be happy in his netting and be able to get food from a holiday feeder in the netting (without the food falling out of it) or do you think he'd be better off fending for himself with the others?

 

love the tanks gwenz! ;D

 

Thanks tan!

Dave - My mum's friend is coming over now to feed them every 3 days I think she said she'd come. So she'll be able to put food in the net for him.

I think maybe I'll just leave him in the tank with theothers while I'm on holiday. Maybe he'll be more confident swimming around by then.

sounds excellent.. so now with that and no new episodes of the doctor while you're gone - you can relax and enjoy your holiday.

 

yep can't wait now! Should be so much fun! It's the heat that bothers me while I'm away. :-\

lol.. no way! next you'll be telling me that people there like peas to be mushy and tea to be hot.

 

Lol, but I don't like mushy peas. And you know what I'm like with hot chocolate!

Gwenz

 

Lol, but I don't like mushy peas. And you know what I'm like with hot chocolate!

Gwenz

lol.. don't go on holiday then! I think you have to say "I love mushy peas and hot tea" to get into the UK, don't you?

 

lol. If we had to say that i'd be chucked out of the country! lol

Gwenz ;D

Is it too late for me to apply for the job? I would first pass a law requiring all homes to be well stocked with tea!

 

lol haha

just tea? no rusks , no weetabix , no heinz salad cream , no chocolate , no fish tanks ? there are a lot of laws required.....I think more tanks than tvs is the priority one !!

lol.. well, don't all those things come automatically with the job? come to think of it, so would the tea. ok, I'll pass that law too once I rule the UK with my iron fist!

 

:'( My numbers are decresing again. I'm down to 4 all together now! I need some good hardy fish that aren't danios, neons or guppies, I've given up on them - they always seem to die. :-\ Any ideas?
