Tan's tanks

who cares... if they mess with my clock, I'll invade their space too!...lol

But if they have the power to mess with a clock, what do you think they could do to you? It is kind of scary to think about it.
Tom

 

but wait a minute, or as my clock says, 54 seconds, there's no water in space, so the :;z won't be up there!...hehe... we have all the space we need!

 

but now karen is moaning, 'cos she says why did she have to sign up when I can say everything she wants to say anyway!

 

and anyway, I'd just throw marmite at them.... they wouldn't like that!

 

I'd pamper them and give them a lamb chop that tI'm left from his tea!

 

now that's a thing... can't even go to the fish n flush without being logged off!

 

marmite phasers!

 

I don't what's worse...marmite or sci-fi?!!

 

I don't what's worse...marmite or sci-fi?!!

Maybe a little from column A and a little from column B. lol
Tom

 

Whats worse? Marmite!

I'm a bit late in joining this! lol

Oh I totally don't get scI fi. I think it's boy stuff.

Don't tell that to Gwenz, who's quite feminine and loves The Doctor.

lol! I love the Doctor! Best thing ever! I don't really like anything else sci-fI tho, just the doctor!

Really? Gwenz, honestly, you're letting the side down. Soon you'll tell me you like to watch football and rest your beer on your belly!

Sorry to dissapoint you! I used to play football, but don't any more! Gave that up 5 years ago! but as for beer, I'm not old enough to drink yet! lol

But with Marmite, "You either love it or hate it" as they say! I personaly hate it! But I hate most things so I doubt my opinion counts! lol (I'm very fussy with with food - for those of you who didn't know)

Gwenz

P.S. - Tan if you did whatch the doctor for 10 hours (which I doubt you did) I would be proud like dave said! lol

 

Mmmmmmh. I miss a good fry-up for breakfast. Hey, Tan, have you heard about Frank from EastEnders? Apparently he's died yesterday.

I heard about this! Its so sad that he died! He was great on eastenders! He played Pat's husband didn't he?

Gwenz

 

having just watched the rest of the 3rd series of Doctor Who .. yea, i'm impatient and youtube is there. .. it's really stepped up a notch each series with the last arc of episodes to end the 3rd series being the most intense shows yet. Like the select SciFI shows that are great, it really contains a lot of drama and humanity in the stories and doesn't focus solely on special effects, but superb plots that make you forget genres and just say "great episode!".

anyway.. how are the tanks, Tan?

 

mmmm. Gwenz: I loooove playing footie. Am terribly uncoordinated (I look like a blind puppy with a tied leg when I play footie) but my enthusiasm makes up for it. For some reason, playing soccer makes me laugh uncontrolably, ALL the time! My team mates are kind of in two minds about it: not being very effective, but at least it brings the morale up!

 

OMG....I have A galaxy fry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was doing a water change (overdue too), when I stirred up gravel, and shook up the java moss to get the bits of leaves from other plants out and planted some cuttings etc (bit of a spring clean and tidy up) I saw a fry, so in a panic, poured all the water from the bucket back in the tank for fear of throwing any fry away. it was tiny. just like a miniture guppy fry. about half the size and more translucent. anyway, stared at the tank for hours, and didnt see it again....then again, not often I see the loach and adult galaxies as they hide very well, anyway, just stared at the tank now a couple of mins and saw it again (dunno if same one, or if I have more than one in there!) so I have bbs on the go, throwing in the emergency powder food I have and re-covered the filter intake with netting. I am not disturbing that tank any more for a while!! will test it later, but I figured the nitrates etc can't be too bad or they wouldnt breed! I am sooooooooo excited!! wonder if it'll survive and if i've more to come?! well, I'm glad I have at least one.....at least I now know that they are capable in that environment.

 

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

I'm so excited!! not seen it again since though! too many hiding places!! i'm getting nothing done around here.....too busy staring at the tank!

 

And that's just the way it should be!

 

congrats Tan! you're a galaxy grandma!

 

we found 3 yesterday, but today only seen 1. been out most of today though so had less tank stare time!!! the bbs is ready for them now though.....horay!!

 

well, you know they're in there. hope you find more and they all do well.

 

:'( I still can only find one. but hey, at least its still one more than I had last week!!! my fish can breed....lets hope they do it again!!

 

i've just seen 2 of them. I put in a load of floating plants yesterday, so they've got duckweed and floating other stuff (cabomba or something?). anyway, they have found sense and are hiding in there!! hard to see in there, so i'm hoping there's more! i'm so excited!!

 

maybe it was watching The Doctor that did it for them?

 

oooooooooooo no no no no!! no doctor in this house!!!! maybe its my preg hormones they got a sense of!!! its the house of babies!!!! last count was 5 this morn (that's galaxies, not humans!!). very exciting!!! they kinda hover about an inch from the surface and the adults all live at the bottom of the tank, so they shouldnt be a threat. lets see and hope they grow up ok!!

 

Well done Tan... now you won't need me to breed them for you!...lol

 

Well done Tan... now you won't need me to breed them for you!...lol

if you did it you'd get more than 5!!! are you keeping up with finding space for all your fry!!!!

 

yeah, just about... another 150 more guppies probably by the end of the week though, which will really push my levels....

 

I'm gonna have to set up another tank somewhere!

 

you'll need to build a dino fish house or buy next doors house and convert that!!!

 

Naa, aiming at the garage now!

 

good plan!! is it an integrated or detached garage?

 

detached... very detached!

 

What like, another continent, or just one that you need to take a bus to go to?

 

not quite, but it's the other side of the car park entrance and has no power or water yet.... will be a challenge!

 

Oooooh. No power or water. I can sort of see a flaw in the master plan too.

 

yep.... driveway and concrete, wires and pipes..... ouch!

 

You could always have unfilted, unheated water, and carry buckets around each time you do a PWC. No? Thought not.

 

nothing's ever simple worlds of tI'm and fish collide!!! sounds like the biggest project yet!!! good luck with that!!!

 

hey tan, have yo been watching the live cam yet?

 

yep.... driveway and concrete, wires and pipes..... ouch!

i'm having a vision of the timg construction company laying pipes across the car park.

 

Congrats on finding the fry. At least you have had some luck with them.

at last!!! been waiting since march for some fry!!! they're all getting quite big now, so rather proud they're doing so well! just hope the new babies that I keep seeing grow up ok too!

 

ok....i've tried my best to post some updated pics of my tanks, but it just won't work!! file size is too big despite my efforts to reduce i, so if anyone would like to see some pics.....please could you resize them for me if I email them to you?! thanks ;-)

 

I think Mike has to do some work on the quotas first. It won't let me post any new ones yet either!

The size restriction is also a little small, and I have commented this to Mike already.

aahhhh, so not just me being thick then!!! thought i'd done everything right! too many teething problems with this new set up. I dread coming on now as I just get cross cos I can't work anything and it doesn't notify me of replies to posts....hence me not responding to this despite you posting in september....only just spotted it! anyway, rant over! hope it all gets sorted soon! hows the garage conversion going?!

 

Very slowly! The funding that was supposed to come last month still hasn't been released, although we have been assured that it has been approved, and until it does, we can't do much, even though we have enough to do the job from our sevings. If we do, then the funding will never get here! (You know what the system is like)

I have setup 4 temp tanks and am building a small rack to be located elsewhere, so that no-one will know about it and it won't stand in the way of the funding application. It's enough for now, so long as I don't have too many more fish in the mean time!

 

tan, sorry it's been frustrating for you. Hopefully the threads are helping with the transition to the new forum.
