    If you generalize a little... what kind of fish do you like???

    I keep coming back to my old favorite, Pearl Gouramis. Like the Angels, they are stately and elegant. Mine come to me when I walk up to the tank.

    FLEAS!! GAH!

    I had a Pom with a double coat. Seresto collars didn’t work for her.

    Fish keeping is too stressful

    I also found local fish keepers on Facebook to buy fish from. I’d checked out of Facebook for about seven years, but got back on recently and Voila! Local folks selling their fish.

    Fish keeping is too stressful

    When I got into fish keeping I killed plenty of fish without meaning to. Now my tank practically runs itself and it is a relaxing hobby. Good advice to have a quarantine tank to keep new fish in for about a month at least. Don’t give up.

    I use good quality artificial (most silk) in my tanks. I can’t keep a plant alive for anything. My fish are fine and haven’t complained about the decor, so we’re good.

    I started Advanced Emergency Medical Technician school :(

    Bounbava: old retired teacher here - if flash cards don’t work, try recording stuff and play back to “study.” Depending on what the subject is, try drawing a picture instead of words on one side of the card. Make a concentration game of words and definitions to match them. Fold a piece of...

    I started Advanced Emergency Medical Technician school :(

    I started university at age 40, graduating at 45. I remembered nothing from HS. I relearned HS plus university materials. If a middle aged person can do it, you can too. Take notes, use flash cards ( great free ones on line) and review material from class that evening (helps it stick). Review...

    Crazy Stories Thread

    I’m telling a story on my husband. I believe this happened during the summer. I was at home doing some window cleaning. He took the grocery list and went to town (we lived in the country) in his pick up truck. Since the weather was fine, he drove with his windows down. He got all the...

    Sand Vs Gravel? Yes, this conversation again. Lol

    I screwed up by not knowing better. I put in small gravel and later got cories. They seem to do OK on the gravel; they are fat and happy.

    The coolest Thing you Own

    I have lots of Molas, a craft made by Kuna Yala natives of San Blas, Panama. It’s a reverse appliqué. I love them and them on every available wall. These aren’t mine. This time of day, it’s too dark to get good pictures.

    Maybe this isn't the best hobby for clumsy people

    I’ve overflowed the bathroom sink while pumping out my tank. I’ve overfilled my tanks several times. My best was having a Cory cat jump out of the tank, land on to my head and flopped under the tank stand. I managed to get him out and back into the tank before he expired. Adventures in...

    Suggestions, please.

    I was lucky enough to find a bargain 55 gallon tank. I’m going to upgrade from a 30 gallon. Right now I gave 2 Pearl Gourami, 6 Cory Cats and 3 Rosy Barbs (I think). What would I be able to add to this group? Previously, I lost a Pearl and 3 Rosy Barbs and my Bushy NosePleco. I will probably...
