The only good thing in Peterborough in England is the water zoo, it's an aquatic shop and sells marine, tropical and cold, they have a beautiful display aquarium with the most beautiful huge puff, they are a brill shop as they quarantine all stock for two weeks before they sell, and they can get mos...

I'm sorry if I've waffled on and said things you already know and read about but you can never have we love waffles! maple syrup or corn syrup? Oh your from Bancroft? I just live over in Peterborough. Used to have a cottage up near Bancroft. Any good fish stores up that way? Just to let you know th...

I would love to rehome mantis shrimps, as it's not there fault they where taken out of the ocean in there live rock homes, then when most people realise they have one, they try to catch them then kill them, or send them to there LFS and most of them kill them, unless it's a peacock mantis shrimp. We...

Where did you get this little dude from? I want one with the st George's flag......

Well then I have to agree with you as like I and you have said, if it's a rare/not popular specie and I had the facilities to help the poor creature then yes I would do it, as it wouldnt be profitable for the LFS to re stock, but in the case of the valintini Toby, they are so popular that the LFS wo...

I'm sorry to be of no help regarding the aqua care treatment, but all I know of that is any good is prime, people hear sware by it, you can buy it from all good LFS and Internet, but like I said I'm not familiar with aqua care as I use RO water as I have my own system and marine fish so don't need t...

IPs are internal parasites.

If you do everything correctly and don't sock to soon I.e wait till your tank is fully cycled, you will enjoy the hobby and before you know it, you'll have more and more tanks.

Just my two pence worth...... I have to agree with all of you but in the same sentence disagree. If a certain specie has been bought by an LFS and has not sold it for a long while, the fish is getting skinny and poorly and someone comes along and offers to either buy the fish at a knock down price, ...

I'm sorry if I've waffled on and said things you already know and read about but you can never have we love waffles! maple syrup or corn syrup? It's funny you saying that as once when I wrote in to WWM I wrote the same comment about waffling and the chap who replyed said he now had a craving for wa...

=) What we did was get a tinfoil plate, fill it with some water and a few drops of dish soap (to change the surface tension) and put a spot light on it. In our case, it was a reading light. The fleas go to the heat and light source and jump into the water. The lamp head has to be close to the tray ...

Hiya, I'm also in the uk, Lincolnshire, and around me the hardest thing ive found is buying live foods for your fish, ie when they are young, finding mysis shrimp, goast shrimp, baby brine and small snails is really hard, also I've found it hard to find fresh, un cooked shrimp, mussels, clams etc re...

Hiya J-P, I don't know the soapy water method, could you let me know just incase, at the moment I've not seen anything since the first spray we did, but you never know with those little buggers, so just incase I do find one I'll do that as well, when I've done the spraying I've sprayed from top to b...

Just an update to what else I have done, please note as of now I don't know how effective they are. After my first complete spray two weeks ago, and my re spray yesterday, I have also purchased two Gotcha electric heat flea trapers, they use a small halogen bulb and a sticky pad, which mimics a host...

POETS day........ P**s off early, tomorrow's Saturday

I don't suppose it could be used on parents. No, I'd assume not. That would be murder

Oh I have a very good tip for ridding parents, but I do not want to share incase my own children read it one day.
