Re: Snail Guessing-Games!

It's time to put you all out of your mystery! First though I'll expand the 'shorthand' statement I made regarding the collection of the snails from Sheba 4 ...

Re: New Tank Log: VikingMummy

Thanks for the extra info, VM. I got self-diverted during my supposed round of fishy water-changes and started concentrating on non-fishy tanks. I'll finish off tomorrow. However, that means that I've several tanks (that have water parameters pretty close to yours) that are in various stages of main...

Re: New Tank Log: VikingMummy

I happened to see your failed 'mention' while on a coffee break from a water-change day! Making sure I do a whole round of changes before next week's weather (I prepare the water outside and pump it indoors). So I'll come back later and reply proper, like!

Re: Recent Goings-On (late Dec '23)

plankton I've always thought liquorice gourami should be called humbugs... Quite! In fact when first I engaged with the Parosphromenus Projekt I suggested exactly that - even including a photograph of a humble humbug. I can't say that it was greeted with enthusiasm. Or greeted with anything, actual...

Re: Recent Goings-On (late Dec '23)

I may be able to put you in touch with someone - I'll enquire. In case this info is needed: do you 'do' Facebook? ; and very roughly whereabouts are you?
