The ready frozen ones are made to come out of the freezer and be cooked. It doesn’t change them.

It depends on the quality of the burger that is frozen rather the freezing process.
White Castle burgers are very good burgers, but I've always been hesitant to try the frozen product. So often frozen foods are not up to standard.

Ours love it when the air stone goes in. They become much more active. As the water warms up, it holds less oxygen and the activity levels of the fish decline.
I'm going to try one. Arrow will sit on his tail on a leaf right near the filter. Everything I read online says bettas don't like the turbulence. That's just another example of an animal that can't read the book.

Similar idea, but different species. Our Common swift is Apus apus and a little bigger than the chimney swift, Chaetura pelagica.

Common swifts are 16–17 cm (6.3–6.7 in) long with a wingspan of 38–40 cm (15–16 in). Chimney swifts are 12 to 15 cm (4.7 to 5.9 in) in length with a wingspan of 27 to 30 cm (11 to 12 in)
If I have a favorite bird it would be a chimney swift. They are so essential to us and all animals are but that bird contributes so much. Yet some people with a little brood in their chimney can't stand the crazy noises for a few weeks. I bet those people will hate being overcome by flies if they keep killing chimney swifts. I don't know if other swifts do the same service to us.

I wonder if the high temperatures and humidity contributed to the death of the bass even in moving water.

I doubt it. Usually dead fish like this have been caught (probably yesterday) by a fisherman, they are stressed out during the fish fight, but are too small to keep. Tossed back in, but the stress of being caught, coupled with high heat, kills them. Maryland DNR issued fish warnings to limit fishing after 10:00 during high heat. Sad though, it was a nice fish.

If interested...here’s the info on temps, oxygen and fish kill - http://dnr.maryland.gov/fisheries/Pages/SB_forecast.aspx

That's kinda crazy. So...if you catch a fish that's too small but legal or so small It's illegal and you let it go free...a nice fish died anyway.

Caught and released quickly they’ll live to swim another day. The minimum size is a conservation measure. Unfortunately some fishermen decide to pose for photos, etc and the fish spends far too long out of water :(

Good mornooning all. We are expecting record high temperatures today (39C/102F+)

This may not seem hot to some of you, but here in the UK that’s going to cause problems as our infrastructure and homes are not set up for this kind of thing.

The curtains are closed, the windows and doors open for the moment as it is cooler outside than in and I shall be keeping an eye on the fish.

We have tickets for the theatre in London this evening, but the rail company is already warning that trains will be running slowly later on as there’s a risk of the tracks buckling in the heat. We have our fingers crossed that the trains are just slow and don’t end up cancelled.

I was up at 6 to do some chores and gardening before it gets too hot to bother.

I have not even gone into work this morning as my whole train line (greater anglia) is running a revised timetable due to speed restrictions across the whole network they have advised all but essential travel.
I hate to think what the central line is like this morning.

I used to have to commute to Holborn tube. The central line is hell at the best of times. I would rather walk than use it today. It is SO hot down there!

That’s a cool tank, what species are in there?
