Guest Gutty Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 She'll probablly get it right next time. Don't worry about it, it's quite normal first time around. After 2 weeks you'd be pretty hungry too...... :lol: LataMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Hi -I concur with Gutty - first time mouthbrooders often dont have the experience needed .You'll find, as Gutty says, that she'll do better next time.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gutty Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 i like that fish in ur signature gutty some sort of peacock? Yeah Peter, i believe it's a stuartgranti of some type. It's a picture i came across years ago when i first started keeping fish, have always wanted that fish but never seen it anywhere. Would probably help if i knew exactly what it was too but anyway...Maybe some day..........LataMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiledonmainstreet Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Unfortunately, quite normal for first, or second timers. As mentioned by several others, it will get much better with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
