Yep she's still eating, in fact she's the first one at the feed-ring at feeding time :D and full of life thats what i dont understand. As for the peas my girlfriend is in the kitchen as i type cooking them for her :D

Have got another tank but its not up and running yet, just trying to seed ther filter at the moment in the main tank, hope to get it up and running this weekend. Till then all we have is a breeding trap, is it worth putting her in there, even though she would still be in the main tank? When we...

Hi all A bit new to all this, my girl friend is already a member, so I thought I would join too as the forum looks like a good useful site to belong to . A bit of fishy back ground about me. Started about 3 years ago with a second hand 4ft tank that I got for 40 quid. Had a variety of fish...
