My lot have a few tricks in their reportoire! That's the magic of a clicker :good: Opi (rott X collie) is my trick dog, she can stand on her hind legs; sit on her haunches and beg; wave; paw while she begs; speak; roll over; play dead; crawl; walk backwards; play bow; give paw; weave through...

:lol: yep, mine did that when I had some! I may get some more soon, they have a great advantage over many barbs by being happy to live in an unheated tank - and I just happen to be sat at a desk next to a newly setup tank for two indoor goldfish.....

Oops! Sorry, forgot my location. I am in the UK, so my pond does freeze over winter - but as winters are getting milder it's freezing less each year. Barely happened last year and the ice was very thin. The cat's pond would probably be around 2-3 feet deep and raised so it feeds into my...

Hi all, newbie here! A little while back, I took on a 9" channel catifish (it had eaten all its tankmates and the tank was being emptied). At the moment it is in a 2ft tank, but next weekend will be upgraded to 4ft and next summer hopefully will have a pond. My question - can these guys...

I'm an uber barb fan personally. I do like gold barbs and I LOVE clown barbs although I don't have any right now. But my favourites have to lemon fin barbs (poropuntius malcolmi, also known as hypsibarbus wetmorei sometimes or barbus daruphani on some out of date websites). Stunning to look...
