I have not known any personally around here, but I know puffers can make it to 20 in hobby tanks, 30 almost certainly is possible, just not at all common. That bespeaks a level of care uncommon in home tanks.

People get old just like pets. It has to happen that folks may become unable to care for long-term pets and may have to re-home them.

Bertie 83, we had snow last weekend but it had melted by the evening, I'm really hoping the whole country doesn't grind to a halt again once the white stuff puts in an appearance :lol:

Purple candle, I'm hoping to go this weekend so will get some pictures

Arny, :lol:

He always comes right up to the glass and rubs his face along and looks at you as if to say, well hello there!

Depends on the board...serious stuff like fish, comics and gaming ...yuppers.

Fluffy girly stuff like housework and Mills and Boon style books...every-one's a girl...even when they aren't..

Internet cynic since 1988..
