    Hey Zagz--a bird video for you

    Don't know if you've seen this, but I thought it was so adorable it made me cry. http://birdloversonly.blogspot.com/2007/09/may-i-have-this-dance.html

    London Aquarium SW (very not dial-up friendly)

    The London Aquarium has absolutely stunning SW tanks, and an enormous shark tank (with an Easter Island theme going on). My apologies to the salties as I will not be able to describe most of these fish except the ones I remember from reading the labels. :roll: Again, these were all taken with...

    London Aquarium FW (SO not dial-up friendly :-o )

    Saw the London Aquarium my first day there, within about 3 hours of touchdown, settling in, lunch, and tube-taking. It was roughly $25 to get in, and it is HUGE. Very cavernous with everything sort of set up willy-nilly. FW followed by SW followed by more FW, etc, etc. No rhyme or reason, or if...

    Anyone been to London?

    I will be visiting there for a long Labor Day weekend and I'm wondering if any of you have been and what your thoughts are on what to see (besides Big Ben/Parliament!). Does London have an aquarium?? LondonGhoti would truly appreciate feedback! EDIT: Yes, I have discovered London does in fact...

    Finally! Someone else who appreciates my tank...

    My two older cats couldn't care less, but the baby is mesmerized. :)

    How I spent my 4th of July

    By LandGhoti (LOL) I went to a wildlife refuge not far from here called Lone Elk Park and took my camera. First stop: the bird sanctuary. Forget the cage is there, and this would've been a nice pose from our national bird. Winding through the park, we happened upon these two elk hangin' out...

    I went into Petsmart to start up a 5-gal betta tank

    and I ended up buying this instead 8O She's only 9 weeks old and teeny tiny Meeting the previous "baby" (almost 7 years old) :roll: I showed her the litterbox, and on her own she's already discovered the water, the food, the ball-that-goes-around-in-the-plastic-thing toy, and she shared...

    Look who I found this morning...

    ...up near the top of the tank, on his way to "breakfast" (AKA, pieces of plants at the top). I spotted him for the first time a week ago on one of my java fern leaves, but figured I'd never see him again, what with the yoyo around. Just to give you an idea of size, that wide onion plant leaf to...

    Top for a 25-gal hex?

    It looks like some of the crap (and that is the correct word) I bought today off craigslist is unusable. The stuff holding the two parts of the glass top together is dried out and has split, so it's basically two pieces instead of one. Looks like these people disassembled the tank, threw the...

    I'm now an official member of the MTS club!

    :multi: I'm getting ready to move by the end of this month and was looking for a tank to get up and running and cycled at the new place so I can provide temp housing for my fish for the in between of breaking down their current home and reassembling at the new place. So...today on craigslist I...

    Free to good home: Plastic/silk plants, fake driftwood, rock

    I used these in my tank's first incarnation. Then after I lost my fish and had to start over, I switched the plastic out for planted right before adding my fish. This rock measures 8 (tall) x 12 x 9" so it takes up a good chunk of room. It serves well as a nice cave for hiders. There is small...

    Rare two-headed turquoise rainbowfish!!

    :P If you look to the right, you can see in the reflection how far apart they actually are.

    West Side (of the tank) Story

    I know my yoyo most likely cannot see himself (although the room was completely dark). He seemed to be enamored of something, possibly himself, so I had a little fun with it. If any of you know West Side Story, there is a song that Maria sings, and this reminded me of it. I feel pretty... oh...

    Has anyone here taken their fish to a vet?

    I just read this story on StL's website. Cute. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/lifestyle/stories.nsf/pets/story/3262D6B350ADB68F86257267007E62FF?OpenDocument I especially like this: "I always thought fish were for weird people," she said. "Why would anyone want a fish?" a-DUH! Because they...

    Loach suicide

    My zebra loach that I got on New Year's Eve jumped out of about a 1/4 inch space next to my filter. I was out for a while tonight and came home and couldn't find him so searched the back of the tank and then resorted to the bottom of the stand and there he was, all dried up like he'd been there...

    My cherry barbs love my new camera

    I got a Nikon D40 SLR Monday night and have been going crazy taking pics, almost exclusively of the fish. I squarely blame my camera spending spree on all you people who post those exceptionally close shots of your fish in action. :P Dummy me did a water change tonight before taking pics...

    Yoyos and zebras and barbs, oh my

    My tank has been cycling with two raw shrimp since 12/11. The next week, I was lucky enough to get some trimmings from drobertson and mosaic (on the same day!) to help me in my struggle to be free of plastic plants. I was checking my water about every other day and getting impatient with the...

    What is the deal with the date of birth drop-downs?

    I first noticed this when I joined AA. As soon as I picked a day and month in the date of birth section, I could no longer see in the boxes what day I picked. When I checked my profile later to make sure it was right, it had me as 28 Feb 1971. Wrong. I changed it. It said 29 Feb 1972. Wrong...

    STL ice storm...one fish lost, more going fast

    Since the power has been out from our ice storm, I've been staying at a friend's but have been going home several times a day (5 min away, thankfully) to feed and check on the cats (my friend is deadly allergic or they would be here too) and see what's going on with my tank. Tonight I had a bad...

    Missing loach

    So I bought 3 clown loaches today and now one of them is missing... Have checked the floor, beneath the aquarium under the cabinet, the ledge on the back of the hood, the filter (although don't know how it could've gotten in), rocks, and even my cats' breath. Apparently, he is Houdini. Here...
