1hopper09 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 congrats mate oh you can put the food in a open bowl so he can get to it and get him a step stool like i did for my ones and they wont be just feeding the fish but they will be catching them for you too. all you have to do is bag them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryparty Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 i hope you have more than one power circuit in that shed. PS be carefull with that sheeting around the walls as you dont want it shorting on the terminals behind the powerpoint. from a sparkys perspective 8) fair effort but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Latest acquasition...he hasnt mastered the opening of the jar thing yet and cant really lift his hands above his head to drop the food into the tank...but Im working on it Methinks your latest Fishroom acquisition will grow quite well. As long as you keep the food up. PS What measures are you applying to keep him clean? Trickle, dangle or sand filtration? or perhaps something else? Please also make sure you sand any sharp edges down, we don't want any cuts on him from the tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Congrats Mike, Good to see he's keen on the fish already, my daughter turns two in February and she already knows when the fish need feeding and comes running in with the NLS, she especially loves feeding the fry. He'll be a big help for you. Hope your wife is doing well and that he's settling in just fine. Cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cutting one corner will also help in the long run so you have an easier job when cleaning and so forth. And you don't want here the what if. So i think everyone would like to raise a toast to the hard work and commitment you have shown to complete this job and to also take us on this journey. we all say thank you.

ctaylor Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Mate, looks amazing, congratulations, keen to hear your advice to others that decide to follow in your footsteps, what you've learnt from it all? and maybe some of the pricing and technical reasons why you chose certain products / brands over others. Congratulations again, job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
