Hello Mark, and welcome to the forum.

Hi Colin, thanks.

Robert, thank you. Typing is a lot easier in portrait, for me...

I hope that you don't mind me being nosey, but what sort of oddballs do you have?
Although I don't have a great deal of experience, I am quite fond of the slightly more unusual fish, and would be interested to see what you have.

I don't have any oddballs at the moment, unless you count this...



I'll let you guess what it is. :)

I only have one tank set up, which was dedicated to my Black Ghost...

#Invalid YouTube Link include https#

... so I collected a few dollars, mostly rescues, and the fish above. I had a nice pair of Severums with them for a while, but BGs don't like cichlids so they didn't stay long.

I had a Syno angelicus that I tried to put in a few times, but it didn't like the ghost so it couldn't stay either...



I also rescued a couple of Lemon Fin Barbs...



... that were far too powerful for the dollars (and were rapidly growing too big for the tank), so....

Here's a pic of the tank that made it into PFK magazine a while ago...

Fantastic photos.  8)
I wish I had enough room for a BG. Also liking the syno angelicus, beautiful. Shame it had to go, but if it didn't work in the tank...I currently have a bit of a thing for plecs and synos, so whenever I go to MA the guy there that has some shows me pictures of his tanks. It's like having the fish by proxy. My main reason for going to my (not quite so local) independent LFS (apart from stocking up on live food) is also to look at the fish I can't have. Actually, that's a bit of a lie, it's also to catch up with the staff and look at pictures of their current projects, again most of which I can't do/have.  :)
I only got into fish last October, so basically a newbie. I'm hoping that the more experienced people here will help to guess what the first fish is.  ;D

[trying to put a video in here but getting "invalid YouTube link"]


Thanks for the heads up, the original code looked for a "http" instance in the link, Google updated youtube links to "https" (secure) urls a while back and I didn't realise that they'd no longer work as embeds,  hence the no worky outcome you experienced.



In any case, I've now edited the code and it will now work for fully qualified https://youtube.com and mobile type urls.

Hi Simon.

Robert, I tried it again but it still says invalid link. The video link starts "http", not "https" (?)

That's very odd...

Would you mind sharing the url Mark?

Sometimes, the owner of the video doesn't allow it to be shared externally, in which case it won't work no matter what.

http will definitely no longer work and if you were trying http yesterday, then it should have worked... subject to the above of course.

You could try substituting https for http but I'm doubtful that'll work either.

Throw the link across and i'll take a look. Might be a device specific bug that I've not encountered.

Ah! I may need to edit the code again to account for the .be extension

Here's the vid embed without the .be extension
