Me too. I'm trying to decide whether to bang one out or just go to sleep.

The world certainly need more Del's.

I loved that. One of my ex'es and me had this little routine where we would point in different directions when someone asked, then when noticing that the other one pointed to another place, change simultaneously to where the other one was pointing. Confused quite a lot of tourists I reckon. It was quite the act/routine I tell you...

I don't know......I'm beginning to think this guy is kind of sketchy. But thank you so much for your advice honeythorn, it'll help me keep my fish happy and healthy.

NEVER take the word of a fish store attendant at face value. Seriously. Christ...I'm no expert but even I know that you cannot put 12 fish of any sort in a ten gallon. Not even guppies.

Stick with your six fish and don't add any more at all.

The reason I say is this.

More fish, more waste. More waste, sick fish. Not to mention that alll fish need room to swim and hide without getting in eachothers way.

The ammonia from their pee and any decomposing food that hasn't been eaten will really make your water quality deteriorate. Even with six fish you MUST do a 25% water change ( just mark off the tank depth into quarters and take 1 quarter ) every single week. Think of it as opening a window and letting fresh air in. They have to live , eat, swim and interact in a closed environment. There are no windows or doors, and so it's up to you and a decent filter to keep their " air " clean.

Gill, skin and fin problems are the most common in dirty tankwater. Even if the water looks crystal clear to you, it more than likely isn't. Rememeber, you can't see ammonia ,nitrites and nitrates, but your fish will definitely feel and show the effects if you don't change part of the water each week.

Don't forget to wash one of your filter sponges once every month or so, or if you are using filter wool, change half of it. Don't ever wash or replace the whole lot all at once or your tank will cycle again, and this will cause an ammonia spike, which can easily kill your fish.

I'm looking to get some more live plants for my 30 gallon

. I did a major prune and bits are looking a tad bare. one of my Kribensis is a bit upset at the loss of hiding spots!

THANK YOU!!!! Now it makes more sense and now I will take much better care of them. Thanks so much honeythorn.

honeythorn · 12-30-2007, 07:19 AM

Most welcome

Good grief...I am still bored. I feel that some tinkering is in order. But of what?.......

DeathToLems · 12-30-2007, 07:38 AM

Something that shows you care so something that has to do with an unusual interest of they have (best bet is one that you share) and you should attach a little note saying something about how you feel (cuz an engagement ring is the only gift that really says "I want to be with you")

korinna5555 · 12-30-2007, 08:00 AM

I am sleepy.. I just woke up a little bit ago.. *yawn*

Delkaetre · 12-30-2007, 08:00 AM

C_C_T-
Um.
If there's any little trinket they've mentioned they liked, pick it up for them. "Hey, I remember you said you were after one of these. Saw it while I was out yesterday, thought I may as well pick it up for you."

DeathToLems · 12-30-2007, 08:13 AM

I meant something unusual and Gothic. like in the picture i made. a black rose and a bottle of blood.

Come on! I wanna hear your Gothic gift ideas.
What would you give your Gothic loved one.

korinna5555 · 12-30-2007, 08:16 AM

Um.. a vintage Bauhaus t-shirt?
That would be cool..

I have more baby hamsters. They are 3 1/2 weeks old, and adorable.

Stormtrooper of Death · 12-30-2007, 10:29 AM

Nicole will be back in 3 days! Yay, I haven't talked to her in a while. A good friend she is. :]

Xombie · 12-30-2007, 10:41 AM

I'm wearing latex gloves.

Because I can.

Delkaetre · 12-30-2007, 10:57 AM

I've got a great big pair of heavy duty mad science latex gauntlets, but they're too big for me. :sad:

Carpet burn.

Just kidding. Any clues? What kind of things are they into?

Underwater Ophelia · 12-30-2007, 12:44 PM

The perfect gothic gift: a quill pen.

korinna5555 · 12-30-2007, 02:04 PM

I just had SOOOOOOOOOOO much fun.

(heartofflames) · 12-30-2007, 04:24 PM

I have More stuck in my head....and every single sound reminds me of a different song.

Xombie · 12-30-2007, 04:29 PM

I've been listening to Skinny Puppy and Iris all day. :K

ZyklonB · 12-30-2007, 04:38 PM

Ugh... more AP US HW to do... but how I love that class. If I didn't want to go into the medical field I would be an Historian. If it seems like it's not for me, maybe I will be....=]

gothicusmaximus · 12-30-2007, 04:40 PM

heh, Iris is so lame. They opened at a Tool concert I attended, I could scarcely stand it.

Edit: Oops, wrong band. I meant Isis. I don't know what Iris is.

Xombie · 12-30-2007, 04:44 PM

I know! I didn't like them at all when I first heard them, but today I stumpled upon their myspaceee, listened to them for the first time in a year and a half, and I didn't dislike it so much. However, when I started browsing through the bands on their top friends, I could swear they were all the same damn band with six different names.

*Haha...Well, I don't know what Isis is, so we're even.

ZyklonB · 12-30-2007, 04:51 PM

Damn, any band that takes the name of Isis should be one bad ass mother fucker. She's the mother of Horus for goodness sake!

And my friend constantly has dreams with Isis in them... (the Goddess, not the band)

ZyklonB · 12-30-2007, 05:06 PM

Thank god for my 8 hours of SP. I have more on my older comp, never got around to transferring it.. I also have the skinny puppy video collection DVD. And the greater wrong of the right tour DVD. Oh how I love amoeba in hollywood! Everything you want in there. *Huggles CD's and DVD's*

She also has dreams of the virgin Mary btw. Her and Isis are the major things... o.o
