Very sad to hear this news. Hugs to you, Em.

Kate

I so wish I could have been there. It looks like everyone had fun

Thanks for posting the pics and especially the vids. Les, your tour of the store was fantastic! Have you considered auditioning for the BBC? You really would make a fine commentator!


Kate

Thanks!

Little question- your 'black treacle' is what I believe we call 'molasses' here...but there are a few types of dark molasses. Is black treacle particularly strong tasting or is it more carmel-like in flavor?


Kate

Oops- sorry, you did indeed and I missed it there.


Kate

Um. Just a thought, Grobson...but you might want to specify what kind of blood that ought to be?

Just sayin'.

Ooooh- this reminds me- does anyone have a good sticky toffee pudding recipe they can share?


Kate

Really lovely! And the painted background is wonderful- did you do it yourself?


Kate

This made me laugh, Diana- a little OT, but not too much...I have 2 brilliant rasboras (for some reason, they are hard to find around here, so I've never had more than this). I first had them in a community tank with many tetras, mostly neons and black neons. The rasboras were a bit more streamlined ...

Sorry to hear about this Grammypat- I think that this has happened to a lot of us (even some including ME who should have known better :shock: )

And Starsplitters not just funning with you, she really does keep skunks with other fish that should have been skunk toast a while ago. Don't know why it ...

Just beautiful, Mike!!! Thanks so much for sharing the pics, though I am sure they don't do them full justice. Please keep us updated!


Kate

That's just how I feel, Nancy.

Sad, and sorry for the little crossbreeds. It isn't their fault, but this is, in my opinion, abominable


Kate

Kind of funny that you mentioned this, Mark- I noticed this article listed at Practical Fishkeeping just today while having a look at your article about your success with the kubs

I think we've had discussions with/about this ...

Well done, Mark! What have you been feeding the adults?


Kate

Frank's has had Clowns in the past- you might shoot him an e-mail to check on availability. It's dry season in their homeland right now, which makes them harder to get. I'd speculate that they'll be more available from November-February or so when the rivers swell up

Hi Jade,

I asked the same question a few months back- http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=13547&highlight=plants

Java fern turned out to be the one they bother the least, but it still has some holes...I wound up removing the Annubius altogether, when they started stripping whole leaves off ...

Beastly, just beastly.
