This can't be happening only to me.

And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Partly because he's more of a hider, and partly because that tank has black gravel. Last edited by Theresa_M at 31-Oct-2004 12:55 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	My pleco in the guppy uses the java moss as though it is toilet paper... Of course the goldies at school poops and then turn around and eat it, the kids get grossed out and start laughing hysterically...

Ms P has a habit of lying on her back, apparently sucking on nothing Ok, that's odd enough, but even more so when there's a big poop still attached and floating straight up Now I'm starting to understand why she's my husbands favorite fish For us it's the platies I've noticed that about platies too... ~~~~ [/font] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
