Umm...

Do you mean bloodworm, as in tiny midge larvae or blackworm as sold live from the fridge at the LFS?

Gobtrap the Mouth Almighty

You are only little, and apparently inoffensive, but every time you open your mouth you are in danger of swallowing your whole d@mn foot!

Can't make out much from the photo, but if it's white I'm thinking maybe a colonial freshwater cnidarian (cordylophora?). Related to hydra.

Just a guess.

Does 'ole 52' mean you were born in 1952 as I was?

That was the year that Princess Elizabeth became 'Queen and Head of the Commonwealth and Defender of the Faith' so 1952 babies were touted as...

Oh dear! Just the thought of Waterbury's Compound brings tears to my eyes.

Also, I remember one night when my father had gone off to Puckapunyal on the first leg of his journey to do his bit in...

Powerheads need to be immersed in water to avoid overheating. They'll seize up if run dry for any length of time.

Fred :wink:

Happy birthday, Nick!

I remember when I turned 30...

Oh. Actually I don't...

Fred :(

A few months ago, I upgraded from DrinkingMates 4.2 to Girlfriend 1.0 which I had been told for a few years wouldn't give me any trouble.

However, there are apparently conflicts between these two...

Don't know if it would help, but I've temporarily overcome lonely fish issues in the past by placing a mirror against the outside of the glass.

The fish seem happy enough to 'school' with their...

Hee hee! Very good! :lol:

I showed it to Mrs Littlefish, and she said it was very clever. She didn't laugh, but she said it was very clever...

Fred :D

Well, depends if it has to look pretty I guess.

You could have your top-off water container above your aquarium, then:

One tube from the bottom of the container to let water into the tank.

Oooo! Now that brought tears to my eyes...

Fred :shock:

Gee, I don't know, BT. Discus here are kept at pretty high temperatures.

Do the fish mature quicker over there than the 12 - 18 months quoted by Ladyred? I'm no discus expert, though. A few of...

A bit like me - larger in the gut and thicker in the head...

Fred :lol:

Mark has a point. Keeping gups alive is one thing - consistently producing quality offspring like those is something else again.

Excellent work Sammi!

Fred :thumb

Looks like the larva of one of the various fly species that go through an aquatic stage. Most are omnivorous (some are carnivorous) and I wouldn't doubt that it would chew up a blackworm, given the...

Hee hee! I've heard it a zillion times, but I still chuckle when those elephants go boom, boom!

Fred :lol:

Well maybe horseshoe crabs can grow that big. After all, I believe elephants can grow very small.

Kenneth, you look wide awake to me. My youngest son looks fully asleep most of the time because he IS fully asleep most of the time! No wonder he takes a tape recorder to uni...

Happy Chinese New Year from Queensland!

Fortitude Valley will be rocking tonight!

Fred :wave2

Don't know if this comes under evolution or God's perfect design, but goldfish probably think humans are pretty stupid. All the fish has to do is look cute and act silly and we provide it with...

It's a horse shoe crab, but they don't grow THAT big! Photoshop??

Looks good, though...

Love it! I've watched it a few times - it's really well done.

Fred :)

Has this got anything to do with John Howard (nicknamed Bonsai 'cause he's just a little Bush) and his new IR laws?
