Whatever happened with these?

Hmm, maybe I have a duff one. I’ve emailed to return it. Vid attached see if it you can hear it? :)

How many can you keep together? My original pair keep breeding and I have rather a lot of them now, and more eggs in the tank, it’s almost as bad as having guppies. I really need to make an effort to rehome some but I love watching them. To be fair since my tank calamity a year or so ago I...

Just bought a tetra 400 air pump for my tank, it’s a little bigger than needed but I wanted to split the cables and have multiple small air stones as well as run an egg tumbler from it. Damn that thing is noisy. Tried placing it on a foamy sponge, holding it in the air, putting it on the solid...

Funnily enough the dog I’m thinking of was a GSD. The shock collar exacerbated an already troubled dog to a point it became dangerous. The collie is hands down the hardest dog I’ve had to train, mainly due to his sight issues. It’s not his eyes that are the issue but a central brain issue...

I’m not above a wee pat across the bum or grabbing my collie’s nose to get him to listen to me (being blind he has a tendency to get overwhelmed by sounds), but these are usually to get my dogs attention back on me rather than whatever has caught their attention. But I’ve seen shock collar dogs...

We couldn’t have sky when we moved home to Scotland as it was a listed building and no where to put the dish up (although they did spend 30mins trying to get me to put a pole on the pavement outside with the dish on top). Have to say I don’t miss it at all. We rarely watch terrestrial tv and if...

Today I am panicking that I haven’t done my prep for my exam on Sunday… argh. As well as enjoying a civilised debate without anyone getting bent out of shape. ;)

Not seen it yet, looking forward to it. Love me a bit of apey hijinx

I prefer to think of myself as a pragmatist. LOL. In real life I’m pretty upbeat, happy, and positive.

Indeed. And yet, the scorpions and the cockroaches and the (possibly) deep sea life forms will survive. What will take our place if that were to happen? We are, as always, expendable, and then the insects / bacteria / viruses, will inherit the earth.

Totally get it OldSpartan, I’m not educated in anthropology so my views are just those of an observer, someone who lives in this world and has worked with animals my entire life and people as an adjunct to that. Your comment about we do not use our ability with an eye to the future often...

I find the apex predator arguement interesting as we think of apex predators as things like sharks, bears, humans etc, but in reality the apex predators are the parasites, viruses etc. CV19 good case in point. The thought that we are intelligent, are apex predators and have evolved above other...
