I've just worked the weekend and admitted multiple people. To stay overnight purely due to covid you need to be on oxygen - otherwise we are discharging with follow up. I've a couple of patients admitted for non covid reasons (or only marginally related) but covid positive and needing...

Immunosuppressive medicines go much wider than cancer. Most cancer treatment is classified as chemotherapy and fully suppresses immune system. Immunosuppression can target parts of the immune system (to be fair some cancer treatments are this too) But other (usually rare ) also need this -...

Evening all. I'm not in desperate need of moving them on, but I do have plenty of Mollies now and would be happy to pass on for free if anyone would like some. I have about 8 that are 10 weeks old, plus some that are 6 week old (probably about 12). Most are white or dalmation, a few have some...

Hi guys, thanks very much for all the nice words. I'm sorry I didn't manage to say thanks in a timely manner, very soon after the competition ended we went on vacation and as a newbie I was pretty frightened about what I would come home to! Pleased to report that by following advice I found on...

Oooh mich excitement in the Barton household, didn't think we could win. Thank you every body for the advice and support setting it up :D

Then there's nothing for it but to ride it out!

Luckily for me I got rid of the bloke before getting the fish ha ha!

I need to do a lot of more fundamental things before I can start planning more. Like.... new boiler, board out loft, totally destroy and rebuild downstairs of house, create new kitchen and lounge/diner. Rip out existing kitchen and create a bedroom, new bathrooms, new carpet and totally...

Hi - you probably need to read the cycle your tank threads. https://www.fishforums.net/threads/cycling-your-new-fresh-water-tank-read-this-first.421488/ A tank doesn't cycle just from being left alone - you need to replicate a bioload. You can do this by adding ammonia or allowing food to rot...

I'm lucky because I'm in charge, and I'm ok for money to fund my hobby. But I'm also middle aged and learning. You have a huge head start on me - imagine what you will be up to in your 40s :)

So erm... its about 7.5 gallons. Plants offcuts from other tanks, already had pebbles. Bridge probably won't stay but needed something in the centre for my brain. Cycle starts today ha ha! Still, it's only 3. I can stop any time....

Went to one of my LFS today and meant to photograph, then forgot. I'm pretty lucky as it's swelluk.com so can pootle down and get stuff from their humongous warehouse too and all pretty covid secure. Sad we can't browse fish though

I'm obviously just seeking validation. Hope I don't get to 18 though! I can't imagine having the time!

This is what I thought the answer would be :D I have 2 x 7.8g/ 30l tanks and eyeing one up or seeing if I could source and fit a slightly bigger one in. It's obviously going to happen....
