Sounds good - but hey, you know the rules, we want pictures, please!

Keep an eye on those Serpae Tetras, they can be nippy at other fish - especially other fish with big, showy fins. You have six of the tetras, so they may keep the nipping amongst themselves. Read all about them here (http://www.thinkfish.co.uk/fish/serpae-tetra.html).

 :)) We look to you youngsters to teach us oldies how to use modern stuff! :))

For piccies you can either....

a) Use the Attachments and other options button just below this space where you write messages. There's a limit on how big the .jpg can be - but I'm not sure what it is 'cos I don't use that option

b) If you use a photo-hosting site like picassa or photobucket you can then use the URL of that photo posted between IMG and /IMG tags in square brackets. Sort of like this [UMG]****[/UMG] (but using IMG).

Have a play.... you can always delete it.
