Best of luck, Apache

I'm off to visit two fishy shops tomorrow (I'll leave the wallet at home I think) one of them is a traditional Local Fish Shop which I may adopt as my primary LFS as it is a lot closer to me... The other is this place... http://www.dcaquariums.co.uk/#!gallery/c1zy6

I wish I had a spare couple of grand...

Best of luck for your French exam apache.

Back to my LFS today as a massive stress reliever (its been a hideous 24hrs). Looked at new substrate, bought more plants and decided to get my son 3 more sparkly puffers, which seem to be settling in. Mid week is quiet in MA which I'd forgotten so we had a bit of time to select the fish I wanted.

Wow - those Oto's don't 'alf munch down on the algae...... and Sushi Nori don't 'alf make a mess as it falls apart.

We've been to York so called at a not-so-local shop on the way back. They had the sand I wanted, B D Trading sand. I should have known they'd have it. One of the people who runs it used to work for the garden & pond centre I used to get it from, the place that no longer sell it as I found out a couple of weeks ago. Mark said he uses it in his own tanks and it is very popular with his customers.

And we'd only been back a short while when the replacement eSHa Exit arrived. (Exit saga here)

Both shops have closed... One a long time ago, the other place in the last few months... So it's been a disappointing day

Really bad luck, Paddy - I suppose the only "consolation" is you weren't tempted to part with £ that you don't have.

Fiona · « **Reply #67 on:** June 22, 2016, 08:35:15 PM »

Jeez how hard can it be to find a natural looking 1-3 mm gravel substrate that will be ok with my peppered cories!

Every cloud etc... Am I right?

I consoled myself with a takeaway...

Dunno but I think you're about to tell us all???

Littlefish · « **Reply #70 on:** June 22, 2016, 10:03:10 PM »

@Paddyc , good to see you on top form despite the disappointment with the fish shops.
Hope your take away was enough of a consolation.

Are you looking for something like the gravel in the photo? The bag is labelled Betta Aquarium Gravel, I think you can just read the details in the photo. I notice there's no website, so it must be old! It might still be available, though.

Sue · « **Reply #73 on:** June 23, 2016, 12:39:44 PM »

Googling the company I've found their website. They still do gravel of various types, though the probelm would be which shops stock it $:-\$

ColinB · « **Reply #74 on:** June 23, 2016, 01:18:09 PM »

How about this stuff here.

....or this...

Fiona · « **Reply #75 on:** June 23, 2016, 09:33:32 PM »

Oh my days!!! Just walked past my QT and noticed the 2 gouramis acting oddly, then saw the female lie on her side fluttering, they curved round each other, next minute an egg popped out, the male caught it in his mouth then swum up a little and spat the egg into a bubble nest which wasn't there when I fed them 2 hours ago. The female looks really egg heavy too! My son did a quick short film and he's promised me to add it to you tube so I can show you. I can't believe it

and @Sue that gravel looks perfect. @ColinB saw that gravel but I was concerned with the sharp edges.

Son has just said he doesnt know how to upload to you tube

fcmf · « **Reply #76 on:** June 23, 2016, 10:20:29 PM »

It's all action in your tanks, Fiona! Looking forward to seeing the YouTube clip, once your son works out how to upload it!

All 6 harlequins are resting in a horizontal line, almost nose to tail, pointing in one direction - very endearing. The tetras are more alert, with the females foraging in the substrate for any leftover food.

You need to have a login with YouTube (if you or your son has a Google/Gmail account the login details are the same). Once you login to youtube you can upload videos to your channel... It's fairly straightforward for the PC Literate

Make him sit on the naughty step. Isn't that what you're supposed to do with kids?
