Where have I been? well mate I have a life :yahoo: , so much so that I will not get to 5000 posts plus, you sad sad person - all that drivel you've been typing what an achievement. I see you've also won tank of the month - how sweet. My point is mattlee which I have explained many times: is...

Hi Guys, Nice one BAE, I like it... :D RLTB still doing fine. Nelly, please share any proof regarding tank sizes. Yes the larger the tank the better, we all as fishkeepers agree on this. Please note this sentence when replying! Mattlee you cannot grasp that your statement about '4ft length...

Mattless, you're blinkered :lol: Still no evidence! just that 4ft is better than 3ft, which I would argue is largely insignificant when comparing this species natural habitat to home aquaria. To answer your other question the Barb appears to be doing fine, bright red stripe, feeding fine...

Mattlee, :lol: Your problem is this: You make statements which you cannot back up, you then get defensive and use the 'common sense' statement when asked for further info in support of you're: 'your tank is not big enough' 'advice'. :D Why can a fish that will get to ~5-6 inches not be...

Boys, You have missed the point...again. :huh: Yes, I did ask...and got a blunt statement. What are the facts behind your assumptions? where is the science? do not do yourselves down, do either of you have an 'ology'? lol. Don't get agressive or defensive, discuss properly. Over to you...

Mattlee you're wound up as tight as a drum!!!! :lol: Let's see if you find one of these jokes funny (I've kept them simple for you, and on topic!) What do you call a fish with no eyes ? Fsh ! How do fish go into business ? They start on a small scale ! Why are dolphins cleverer than...

Hi Guys! Apologies for leaving you wanting, have been v busy with work lately, not had chance to get to a pc. Back to the sub-topic, and I suggest we start with Frankie21 (Mattlee has had a go, but is citing common sense, however if we all know the same information relating fish keeping, this...

Mattless, No, it's not common sense, if it was these forums would be empty. (As Amercians (not all, just in case Frankie reads and has a hissy fit) would say 'period'!) 'im sorry you dont appreciate the links and pasted info but the majority are thankfull for these.... ' - I missed them...

Ok, where do I start.... 'FYI America refers to North America, Central America and South America' Yes, Correct, however us Brits usually generalise and call North America - USA, 'the states' or America... It's not ignorance it's is a type of slang. 'a. It is widley acknowledged by Americans...

Mattlee, You're 33! You therefore seem to have led a sheltered life and have not developed a sense of humour. (IMO) :rolleyes: a. It is widley acknowledged by Americans that they do not always 'get' the British sense of humour. Are you aware of this? b. Adolescent humour can also take time to...

Mattlee, Thanks for the cut and paste job. The high level analogy I made when I referenced agrophobia was a jest comparing agrophobia- fear of open spaces to claustrophobia - fear of small spaces. ....Generally. The reason for that was that we were discussing small and large tanks. My...

Yes, as it says 'fear of open spaces' - Agrophobia. In contrast, fear of closed spaces - claustrophobia. Happy to help. :rolleyes:

Tight space fears more commonly known as claustrophobic. :nod:

Agrophobic covers, being in wide open spaces! ;)

Agrophobic fish!!! Anyway from wht I've read online (some contradictory) RTBS and RLTB not a good mix.
