Yes, we have no pictures of Santa Clause either, the real one for example.

Some people say that he is one of the original Illuminiti and that he doubles for Newt Gingrich with an alien organic exoskeleton and a personality from the world wide web.

I can show you pictures of Newt? I will until you post yours.

Hi, thanks for the kind words. Pics??? Thank god they are still in the tank after last night. : )
Its a terrible quality pic but hopefully it shows the goods. With the flash, they seemed to disappear.


Cheers, Nigel

Hi Nigel,

Good luck mate, I normally let them pratice in the community tank for a couple of times and then move them out to their own tank, that makes them better parents.

Cheers

Hi Rob (Swifto),
Yes mate I am really happy with this. As you know I've been searching for same strain pairs recently and to have this happen unexpectedly shows that its going along ok.... for now : ) Thanks mate, have a great Xmas!

Hi Mike,
well thanks to you mate and all the great advice you gave me when I met you that day with Bruce, when he bought his pair from you. Seems so long ago. I havn't forgotten what you told me, especially not to get too caught up with trying to get the "perfect" water parameters. Not to fuss to much etc. Just do your best with the local water you have and be consistent so that they acclimatise. All greatly appreciated. I was so impressed that day with the health of all your fry and growing babies. I'm sure there will be many more questions in the future. : )
A very merry Xmas to you and your family.

Thanks guys, Nigel

Hi Swampy,

Thank you mate, all the very best over the festive season : )


Hi Merrilyn,

It does make it all worth it.... By the way, my fish love your beef heart recipe.

Thank you kindly, : )

My very best to you and your families for Xmas and the coming year ahead!

Best regards, Nigel
