COLD DARK ROOM

Ok....a quick update on progress with my Betta tank. Added a few tiny snails and one larger one, a few more shells that were in Alpha’s original small tank, and some plants. No fish yet....

Wow ! I had to google this word ! Absquatulate ! I have never heard it before but it is very difficult.
Let us say you will went away quick ! LOL !

Hmmm, never used absquatulate in my entire career... I’ll have to see if I can sneak it in tomorrow.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK THE WORD UP ?
I thought it was only me that had to look it up.

 

[Bee62]

Hmmm everybody must be either out and absquatulating with something or someone OR they are super busy. Sooooo I am going to say Good night already. I hope the rest of you have an awesome rest of the day.

Sorry that I missed you. Good night Carol.

They like plants with big leaves they can rest on too. I'd recomend anudias nana or barteri.

Maybe Yvonne have more of these words.

Yes....once I get all the original plants and snails and hardscape situated, water conditioned, I’ll look to add another plant or two. This will be a big switch for our Betta, moving house from 1.5 to 10 gallons. Thanks for recommending big leaved plants.

Hi and bye roomies.
Have to get some sleep.

And I have found a new word too:

What kind of filtration do you have?
Sponge filters do great with them in my experience.
If you have a HOB you may need to baffle the outlet as they prefer calm water.

When the gras is growing I will add some new grasbuckles to their enclosure. Plants do not overlive the destroying strength of these torts. When they get bigger and more hungry they will have to eat in winter hay too.

They sure do keep you busy though. First thing I do when I get home is go check on the torts and put them outside for a little bit of sun. etc. I love the look of your greens though, they look so nice and fresh. I could eat them. ............Maybe not the Hay !!

Whahaha. I like that word.

Nope I had no clue what it ment. Lol good on Yvonne for giving us all a challenge.

Good Morning Sabine.

I am wonder whether Adam’s extensive vocabulary includes absquatulate?

He certainly absquatulated

Anyway.... Good morning all. It’s tipping it down with rain and the ironing needs doing. The day can only improve

Have to get some sleep.

Aaaaaahhhh. I am sorry Sabine. Please don't feel tired. Get some good rest and wake up all refreshed.

Good Morning Linda,

I hope the ironing goes fast and that you have a fizzing Tuesday morning.

You sound more bouncy than me this morning

The iron is plugged in, but I think I need another coffee first

I know... ironing... I’ll stop procrastinating now.
