- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
He comes here three or four times a year to help wth the heavy lifting that I'm getting too old and feeble to take care of. This time he's going to bring his chipper/shredder and take care of a big pile of trimmings, make cages to put over two south african tortoise nests and make night boxes inside the tortoise sheds so there's a smaller area to heat (so my power bill isn't so high this winter). Then when he goes home, he'll be taking twenty hatchling leopards and a yearling russian to sell.What do you do with your tort partner? Obviously you talk torts but do you care for each other’s torts and stuff like that? I’ve got a tort mentor who has and still is teaching me the ways of the tort
HEY!!

This is Arrow resting.That sounds good. One reason I like to use a sponge filters with bettas. It has a slow flow rate, good chemical filtration and provides extra air
do you think he might be a happy camper?
Hahahahaha...i wish my little guy would become addicted... I wouldn't have to buy him a beak job.Selma suddenly, out of the blue began to acknowledge her cuttlebone today and had a could gnaw for about a half hour. She looks like a little crack addict
I'm hoping that the two systems working together will just be a peaceful water flow for my little Arrow.That sounds good. One reason I like to use a sponge filters with bettas. It has a slow flow rate, good chemical filtration and provides extra air

He looks good to me
Oh how cute! Is that a paint brush your feeding with?
Thanks. That means a lot because I'm usually freaking out and probably will the rest of his life. One day I fed him. Arrow took one bite and then slowly sank to the bottom...lol I thought did I kill him???!## that little brat was fin that time.He looks good to me
Where's our daily post? I missed you. Happy Friday to you too.

That's one reason why I keep so many different varieties of fish but fish that have personalities. For example angelfish which I love seem to be the pompous upperclass of the aquarium world.
Oscar's which I do not have any currently but plan on getting one when I find exactly what I'm looking for. Which is an albino longfin with good orange coverage. Are like dogs inside an aquarium LOL they also like to decorate the tank to their own liking not necessarily yours.
cichlids can be just completely crazy especially the dwarf cichlid varieties which seem to be paranoid skitzofrenixs or preppers.
Goldfish are you're silly Jokers and Court jesters. Easy going happy and fun.
Bettas can either be your best friend or your antisocial sociopath that is plotting your death lol.
Puffers are like a gang or Mafia lol
You can buy them from health food shops online and have them delivered. I’ve not tried it personally so I’m not sure how fresh they would be on arrival.
Yes. With the little birds a paint brush is the easiest substitute beak. The bigger birds graduate to tweezers or a lollipop stick.
Same for us.
Our last clown loaches were known as “the girls” and were pretty laid back like most clown loaches. However, they seemed to have giggly fits when they started zooming round the tank because they felt like it or one would panic over nothing in particular leading to mass hysteria for a few minutes.
The last ancistrus (bristle nose catfish), a male always known as Big Un, reminded me of Joe. He did what he darn well pleased and everyone else just had to get out of his way when he was stomping. He had his panic attacks too and went pale and blotchy. We had him for well over a decade and he and JoesDad came to an understanding when the tank needed cleaning. JoesDad would leave a particular tunnel in place and make sure Big Un was in it and sucked on tightly before moving it as he cleaned. Our new ancistrus has turned out to be female and she is a much less assertive personality.
Every zebra danio we have owned has loved “pump surfing”... swimming into the stream of water from the pump outlet and then letting the water accelerate it to the other end of the tank. They’ll do it for hours!
Golden barbs are entirely motivated by food. They assume they’re going to be fed every time you go near the tank. I once read that a Golden Barb that doesn’t think it’s hungry will be dead.
Hillstream loaches are small but feisty little individuals. The only thing that would stand up to Big Un. It was like an ant getting cross with an elephant... had zero impact... but she did try to stop him bulldozing her.
