Just wondering if anyone has had a species tank with Labeotropheus fuelleborni "marmalade cat." It's been over 5 years since the heyday of my Mbuna tank. Most of the occupants has passed away, leaving Daktari, Marmalade cat, and a multipunctatus. Actually, since researching my next move, I'm...

We've lived in Vancouver for 5 years and we are finally going to The Wet Spot. Just wondering what anyone local had to say about it. Any place better? Any places to stay away from?

My tanks are pretty pathetic. Old age is taking its toll on my fishy friends. The Mbuna tank is down to 3 inhabitants--Daktari, Marmalade cat, and multipunctatus. I would like to see the tank go species with Marmalades, but we will see. The short, wide 50 has 3 yo-yos and a few Kuhlis left...

The baby is due in early October and the baby shower will be next month. I simply refuse to fly across the country to see my family when I will feel like the human equivalent to Fudgy the Whale closer to the due date. Right now, I’m so confused as to what is really needed during the first year...

We finally replaced our car that was totalled with an economical car that someone self-tinted. The back window looks awful and makes driving in the rain very difficult. It's bubbled up and looks like you can peel it off; which is what I was going to do. Then Trevor, the voice of reason, said it...

My younger sister, BubbleyBlue, hasn't been on much lately since coming down with mononucleosis. Now is as good a time as any to make a smiley post in her honor. Won’t you know it, she gets a and comes down with the disease :roll: As a biologist, I know you get mono from sharing , , or and...

[center:95eb5d765e] [/center:95eb5d765e] FYI-my computer prowess is sub par--I'm lucky the thing turns on everyday. My current problem is an old one that keeps reappearing--it usually fixes itself (which is great, since I have no clue). When Zone Alarm updates, smiles stop moving, most...

...so I came here for some cheering up. Trevor and I went out to run some QUICK errands earlier. He needed a haircut before we attend a friend's weeding and I went to pick up cat food, bird food and roughage for the rodents. I was feeling pretty good—most of the stuff was on sale and I picked...

Trevor always said he would never live where tornadoes were a problem and in 11 days, we're moving to an area of active volcanoes :roll: I know we're not within even 50 miles of a volcano (I hope), but they are out there! While we were looking for an apartment, we also got to see Mt Hood and Mt...

Here's my boys. They are getting better about being held. The more outgoing degu is in Trevor's arms. Here's my shy guy :D

After scrapping off the algae that was growing in the hex tank, huge sheets of algae were produced. I was going to take them out, but King Prawn quickly started munching away. Enjoy the pics!

My little rubber lip pleco, who hasn’t grown much in the two years, so I think he’s a pitbull pleco. A close up of the 9” common pleco BrianNY plecos!

Upon returning from a business conference, my fish convinced the anubias to bloom for me!

Trevor was just offered the job he's been waiting on for months. He'll start December 1 and we need to move across the state! All the fish we have moved with us once down from Calgary and now they need to do it again! I have to go start packing!

These sites are not all the helpful sites out there, but the ones I have recommended most often. Mongabay site Includes living and non-living sources of stress Also on that site, there are great fish profiles. Swim Bladder Disease Chart on fishpondinfo This site also has other wonderful...

We all know and love Toirtis and thank him for the insightful eBay finds and odd articles, but what does he do while away from AA and the computer?? Does he ever leave his computer? I found Toirtis in his natural habitat. Enjoy these rare photos. He enjoys holding plastic bags and pointing...

We have three cats, but Squirrel is the one I talk about most. She's the youngest at 4 years old, a big ball of fluff and the most photogenic. When she's not sleeping or giving Trevor mouth to mouth ...she's getting into things that she cannot get out of. This is her file drawer...

...or more appropriately--Why did I move this from our last place??? As most of you know, Trevor and I had a LARGE moving sale before we moved. Still, not everything fit in the budget truck and we had to go back up to get the rest of our stuff. As we unpack things, I have to wonder what my...

In the Spokane area, I have not found a great place for fish. I was spoiled in Calgary, where there are a ton of independantly owned LFSs and pet shops with "stay alive" guarantees. So far, I have visited PetCo, the Evergreen Pet Store and Northwest Seed and Pet. NW Seed has the best selection...

Here I am in Spokane, WA; anyone else live on this side of the Seattle :biglol: This forum was created for those of usliving in Eastern Washington and Northern ID to discuss the nuances of living in the middle of nowhere and how to keep our fish happy and healthy :D

Our beloved 16 year old cat, Spice, had emergency exploratory surgery on Thursday. Two masses were found and removed. One mass, the size of a well fed walnut, was closing off her intestine and the other, the size of a Jordan almond, was in the fatty/connective tissue. She went in because she had...

June 12 beginning at 11:30! We'll be there.

As a continuation to my Moving is hard enough... thread, here are the pics! The fish were placed in coolers and given airstones Here is Josie in our friend's basement apartment waiting to go The blue "lobster" dancing in excitement Then the fish and rodents stayed overnight at a motel in...

This program is great. First, it would not allow my computer to get on the internet and now that I figured that out, there are a few other quirks I need to work out and tech support isn't helping :? First problem: I can log into my two Yahoo Mail accounts, check mail and what not, but when...

Everyone has story, even if theirs did not need to come out. (“I didn’t need my removed, but my wife….”) That is all I have heard this past week—wisdom teeth stories. Trevor had all 4 removed last Wednesday and it’s my turn tomorrow. I am enjoying a glass of juice before I fast, since I want to...
