Fred, buy a duck to eat it

Quote from: Jon on July 20, 2024, 10:36:35 AMCould it have arrived in a fish bag?

Possibly but much more likely it was on some of the plants I bought online.

Remove immediately and kill it with fire!

It's actually great for some fish she uses though! Just not yours.

Could it have arrived in a fish bag?

One piece on a plant and you have a problem

So where the **** did that come  from?    I have NEVER knowingly added it to a tank.

Good for hoovering up nitrates but boy it can take over.

I used to fish for halibut with a 50lb test rod, a Senator 6/0 and (in the Pentland Firth) 4lb lead weights that often would not hold bottom. Hard going.
A long way from the 3- or 4-weights I use now!
Great fish.

A new Munro peak has been listed just north of Arbroath. The graceful, conical peak, Ben Kribensis was verified just hours ago and the SMC are urging existing Munroists to climb it ASAP to complete their list! 

I could spend a lot of money in that shop. 

Opening a bit more now.

I called in today. They're in the process of completely revamping their salty section. Here's a few coral frags they have in. Sadly my iphone just can't display the amazing array of colours here.






And here's a few rare fish you'll struggle to find often.

I plan on chasing peacock bass near Fort Lauderdale in the Everglades later this year. But the great, great grandfathers of these!













This is the first time I've ever seen Sultan barbs for sale!




And a few for the ram fans.





Long finned. Eurgh!





I really dislike man made albino strains like these! They're awful!.





Snake heads. Illegal for you guys in Scotland to keep. Something I find ridiculous personally. These are Channa micropeltes. As a kid I used to work in a large importers. These were sold as 'Red Snakeheads' and housed in tanks on a huge centralisised system. Fish would inevitable find thereway into the filter bed below the the stock tanks and these things really did grow fast down there as you can imagine. They're not suitable for anyone without a trop pond!
