Re: How hairy?

Oddly, they seem to be more common over here. They stock them at my LFS now, they fell in love with Piggy whilst he was in quarantine

Re: Have you got a 5-6" GSP?

I've got double filtration on them both, and the Fluvals in particular provide excellent flow and oxygenation. I'm really impressed with them. I'm going to site the tanks on the opposite side of the (20'x20') room to the cooking area, and make sure there's good ventilation. It's a point I hadn't tho...

Re: Evidently my fish like to bite the hand that feeds them

You want to see the pic of my puffer-mauled finger AGAIN? Seriously, use tongs, Piggy bit a huge chunk out of my finger, and left a neat V shaped notch in my fingernail.

Took over a month to heal.

Re: How hairy?

Piggy's more frilly round the edges than hairy. He's not as hairy as Spuddy was, but he's hairier than the one in the LFS atm.

Re: POTM April 2014 - Send In Your Entries!

I'd love to enter, do we get a photo gallery of all the puffers? I think they're all beautiful and so unique.

Re: Today I have managed to make a massive fool of myself

Well, we went back today, they are stocking reptiles soon and Liv keeps dragging me in to see if they've arrive yet. They appear to have forgiven me, and even better they've offered her a work experience placement. She's studying Maths and the three Sciences, was aiming to do Fornsics at Uni, but is...

Re: Aquatop CF500UV Cannister

For anyone in the UK, I'd highly recommend Aquamanta canister filters, backed up with a Fluval 4U. They are incredibly easy to maintain and clean, self prime, the baskets come out easily, and they keep the water spotless. I rinse the Fluval twice a week in tank water, as it is the main collector of ...
