That is GENIUS! 👍

Benjamina Button

I have no idea who this person is. Please keep him away from my tank - my Nerites are rescues and get anxious when there are sudden movements, or people wave their hands about. They are cowering under an African sword at this very moment. It will take weeks to calm them down.

You look different somehow. 🤔 Botox?

I'spect you like Trumpet snails, then 🎺🐌🎺🐌🎺🐌 and banjo catfish🪕🐱:fish: 😆

<disappointed> You are too technologically mod-ERN for an Ole Trout like me. :lol:

What have you got in your heary-flaps? Is it marshmallows?

As the thread claws its macabre way slowly from the deepest circle in Hell, we all quake with terror and wonder what vengeance it will wreak . . .

Thanks, Adorable - I'll give this a go.

Thank you Stan - I've just looked and could only find a stone loach. They certainly aren't in any aquarium suppliers I've seen so it would mean trying to catch a wild one. There are several clean rivers round here, but I'm reluctant to take any creature from the wild (I think it's cruel) and...

Yes - I'm expecting this. The ones we had before practically grew before our very eyes, like on one of those nature programmes where they use fast forward photography to show the seasons changing over a year in the Lake District in the space of 10 minutes or summat.

Thank you. They are fed once a day - a pinch of food. They also nibble the elodea, but that's it. I don't want to be constantly cleaning algae off the glass until they go outside. I'm aware that they will not be long in the aquarium, but I'm enjoying being able to watch them for the present...

I'm already doing them - twice a week! Goldies have an impressive (cough) "bioload". I've been here before - this is why I like them in a pond . . . well-filtered . . . then you can sit and watch them groooooow. :fish::fish::fish:

I'd never heard of these, Caesar - they look quite exciting - thanks!

Thank you, Badger - I'll have a little search.
