Toirtis, that is so beautiful! It brings tears to my eyes!!!! Dave :smokey:

I have been making progress in collecting material for my redneck tank so I thought I would give ya all an update Kevin has donated a Jamaican beer bottle, got the tackiest flourescent ornaments (including a skull) from Big Al's closing sale (the stuff no one would buy). And I actually paid money for glow in the dark plants from Walmart (I can't believe I did that). There is a dead car from the auction (which is being eaten by a shark) and there is a giant spider sitting on the roof I have also made inroads in finding a bottle depot with people who understand enough english to save a few small bottles fer me (I am hoping fer a call this week) I would like to say a very special thank you to Connie for her extensive donations including a rainbow plant, BRIGHT orange gravel and a space type of ornament. I dunno where she gets this stuff but her generocity is very appreciated!!! The rebel flag is still on its way and of course we polished off a few beers this weekend and the bottles are going to be stacked all around the tank When my masterpiece is dun I will be sure to post pictures and perhaps enter it in some competitions (with this site and/or CAS)?????? Hey if anyone is willing to part with their rebel flag I would be happy to give it a home (replacing our living room curtains).......... wait till Tammy sees this!!!! he he he Dave :beer:

Hey questions is what it is all about here ......... I have plenty fer sure I am balding too LOL! Dave :beer:

My experience with concrete blocks has shown (some) to leach various solutions for over a yearwhen exposed to the elements To be honest I wouldn't trust any type of broken concrete in any of my tanks. Don't forget broken stuff will have sharp edges. If you go ahead with your plan be sure to sand off the sharp parts Dave :beer: :beer:

One day I would like to have a greenhouse/sunroom with a goldfish pond Welcome aboard! Dave :beer:

I must admit I have bitten by the Discus bug. Reality (her other name is Tammy) keeps roping me in reminding me that if I make the trip to Edmonton or Winnipeg to buy more discus we don't have a place to keep em Dave :bang1:

I would think Danios would eat eggs and young (of other fish) as they do to their own Dave :beer:

My experience with lava rock (in a landscape type setting) has shown me this stuff is TERRIBLE for dust. If you persue such an endevour I strongly suggest you thoroughly clean the material before it goes into a tank. (Perhaps you may choose to wash the rock with a strong stream nozzle on your garden hose) Dave

Mathew!!! I can't freeze her! OMG! You know better...lol. Actually she is looking a bit better...she actually ate tonight and her mouth is functioning a bit better..not perfect yet, but better. Sorry Mathew...no fish food for you -01- Tammy

What type of Daylillies do you have? Dave :beer:

On the (Edmonton) Base? You must be hooked up with the PPCLI (I am a bit of a military buff) Welcome aboard! Dave :beer:

What is a frag? Dave :beer:

I was thinking about Richmond today (it is raining here) LOL Dave :beer:

What part of Greater Vancouver do you live in? Welcome aboard btw Dave :beer:

HI all, We have a breeding pair of pink convicts and all seemed well until last night. It looks like the female has lock jaw...her mouth is "stuck" for lack of a better word, in a wide open position. She seems unable to eat or do much of anything. I can see right into her mouth and there is nothing in there...I had thought maybe she was moving pebbles and got one stuck but nope her mouth is empty! Anybody have any idea what this is ? How to treat this? Water parameters are good. Tammy&Dave :bang1:

Hey Jeff My father doesn't think he knows you but you mentioned his brothers. Say hi to everyone in Teulon for me! Dave :beer:

Thank goodness your kid leaves his stuff laying around! Dave -roll-

The angels and rams laid eggs last night! Will keep ya all informed on if things they hatch! Dave :beer:

My Discus are the dog I can't have. I watch them, feed em and do my best to care for them A minor irritant is the continuous water changes ....... part of the price of being a pet owner. (No, I am not complaining) Dave :beer:

Welcome aboard! Signed (former Manitoban) Dave :beer:

I don't have any direct experience with shocking fish but I do hear dynamite is quite effective Dave :beer:

We use two nets (one of which is really big). If that don't work throw in a plugged in toaster into the aquarium Dave :beer:

Hello! Dave :beer:

Yes, Ornamental Landscape Suppy and Burnco would be good places to check out. They may not have much in yet but be sure to go back in a week or two Dave :beer:
