come on you bunch of no-gooders

Lets get Webmaster up and about, he doesnt have much to do if no peep is posting (well except for living his life and looking after his fish of course and maybe earning a crust to feed himself),

if we can combine some humour with fish talk then all the better

Where's Wayne?
Where's Edwardo Mourinho (Ed)
Where's Kell
Where's Paul Stevens LOL
Where's Paul Owen / Higgins
Where's Rob R
Where's Rob C

12-10-2007
20:52 by Fry Lover
as for Edwardo Mourinho (Ed)

ED - dont be down in the dumps mate, i know you got a manager who know one has ever heard of, and your team is now as interesting as watching grass grow, BUT, BUT, they said the same thing when Arsenal appointed some geezer called Wenger.

12-10-2007
23:59 by WAYNE
see i must be first thing on your mind alex as my name was mentioned first , it will take more to get a rise out of me , maybe a turkish massage
13-10-2007
00:12 by Fry Lover
well if the list was done on who's first on my mind, that would not be fair to Keith T, as he's last, and if the truth be told, i think about Keith more than you Wayne. But thats not a diss and i like the idea of a Turkish massage, i think Perky does it

15-10-2007
22:23 by Nick G
LOL Thought the site had been a little too quiet for a few days!!
15-10-2007
22:23 by Fry Lover
you shouldnt have much trouble finding a pair, although its probably going to be like umbrellas'..... they are everywhere until you need one...... the same could be said about Perky
15-10-2007
23:00 by -Rob C-
Only 3 tanks running at the minute, might have to cut it down even further when I go away to Uni next year.
They are as follows-

3ft Marine tank:
25 kg of live rock
a few soft corals
2 Percula Clowns
1 Firefish
Lots of snails
A few small starfish

1 metre Community tank:
Bogwood
A few live plants and lot's of java moss
3 Angels (1 pair and an outcast)
1 Bolivian Ram
1 Keyhole cichlid
Lots of Black Neon Tetras and X-Ray Tetras
1 Clown Loach
2 Tiger Loach
1 Feather fin Syno
1 'Upside down' catfish
1 Synodontis Nigriventris


12" Nano Cube-
2 small pieces of ocean rock
Heavily planted
Probablly nearng 100 Endlers with all the fry!
1 Bronze Cory
2 Ottos
Around 20 Cherry Shrimp
2 Angel Babies that I'm growing on

That's about all the fish, no doubt I'll have forgot some.
15-10-2007
23:01 by Fry Lover
Any pics Roberto? Sounds like some nice set-up's there
15-10-2007
23:13 by -Rob C-
Haven't got a decent quality camera, hopefully I'll get some photos in the next month or so when I get my new phone.
16-10-2007
23:19 by Linda Chenapa
Sorry, can't list mine, too busy fishing! Caught a 24lb 3oz mirror and, at least 10, (lost count!) pike, biggest about 12lb.



This is Nigel's third week down at the lakes, both joined Darenth Tip lake, his company won't allow him back to work 'till they have had a health and safety expert do an assessment. So they are paying him half pay to go fishing!! He would much rather be at work earning though
16-10-2007
23:27 by Fry Lover
Well Linda, i just hope you follow the 1" per gallon rule when stocking and have a suitable aquarium for these
17-10-2007
00:05 by Fry Lover
one of my parrots has taken to "guarding" a peice of cucumber, been that way for almost 24 hrs now. Wont touch it himself, but wont let anyone else have any either (although it seems to be willing to let the Bristlenose have about 1 minute each before he has other idea's)

Not vicious, just nudging the other fish away as they approach

Every now and then he;ll take a close look at the cucumber but not touch it, VERY much like a cichlid guarding eggs
17-10-2007
01:08 by Fry Lover
Where's Perky?

Have to be careful in case its something serious, usually i would joke by now and say that when Perky goes missing its usually a sign he's up to know good, the swine.

But obviously better not joke in case its serious.

Not the same without that kebab,

Pigs eh! Can't live with them........ can't live without them
