I like fish; we had a tank with gouramis when I was growing up; then years later I had angel fish, guppies, and a few mollies and swords; the resident cat never bothered them. Unfortunately it sprung a leak whilst I was at work (OMG what a mess!!) and I never got around to replacing it. Tht might be an idea now that I'm here in the retirement community .... |

you should eileen  In our big tank, we have, an angel, a red tailed black shark, a big plec, 7 rummy nosed tetras, 2 mollies, 6 penguins and 2 kissers. The tank is huge so theres loads of room for them to grow and swimThe smaller tank we have neons, 3 baby silver sharks, glowlights, corys, baby plec and a harlequin. got loads of plants in both tanks aswell to help keep them airiated. My 2 dont bother with the tanks either, more interested in snuggling beside us!!!! |

Now you've said it Pamela, we all want aquarium pics..please! MrsH sounds like you have very similar to what my friend had a few weeks ago, it'll probably develop into a cold and then clear up pretty quick. Just the usual lurgie that does the rounds at this time of year, hope you get well soon! Angieh what do you do with your sloes? I pick mine at the recreation ground here to make sloe gin with a rind of lemon and stick of cinnamon and star anise in for Christmas sloe gin. I also make rose hip tea and hawthorn tea with the autumn pickings, important not to strip the branches and leave some for the birds. I've been car booting, up at 6, sorted the furrkids, fed the birds, and left at 8. ..Got a few bargains and some bits and pieces for the silly stocking I make for M&Dad at Christmas. |

I love corys especially the dwarf ones, as I like them in nice size shoals, so dwarf are good to me they are amazing to watch. Never really had glowlights or neons.....no idea why.  Yes I have had fish not at the moment although you have caught me at a moment where I was looking at a small tank today for the spare bedroom I find them very restful. I loved sailfin mollies and kept them in a brackish tank (1-2 tablespoons of the marinesalt to each gallon) adjusted slowly as most Mollies are not kept in brackish in shops. The sailfin are beautiful they go up to about 5" In one tank I had 1 male & 3 female orange mollies. 5 Bumble Bee Gobies (little fish but kinda troublesome amongst themselves but a lot of character) 5 Glassfish (peaceful souls) Have also had a smaller tank with guppies platties, and dwarf corys. I also got hooked on Malawi cichlids............but not for the faint hearted.  |

Eileen go for it, you could have a small tropical tank. They are very restful I find, and more entertaining than the majority of TV. |

Most anything is more entertaining than TV! I really am thinking about getting back into it; it's so soothing watching them. I love angel fish but they're such bullies in a community tank ....... Why do I suspect Princess Leia might be more interested in fish that her predecessors ...???? |

My brother and I went in for tropical fish... right up until the day I managed to syphon out all the water onto my bedroom floor - the smell, and those poor fish!  |

Oh Lord, Squirrel, that must have been quite an experience!   |

It was rather!!! Happened through a small pipe for using with a pump and putting air bubbles through it, so it took a long time, and if I was in the room I didn't notice it... |
