Mine can.

"I have been fed one times today, and I am fed two times a day, so I have one times left" and continues much like that.

Poor Yam, sounds like my Boo, who I returned to the LFS, she's still up there terrorising all the tiny fishes :/

Good grief.

Have you considered perhaps that maybe keeping fish just isn't for you?

They seem to be causing you a lot of trouble, and you seem to be causing them trouble, perhaps you could return them to the shop?

Argh! He said he doesn't do fish unfortunately.

He did give me the number of a marine biologist even further away that might be able to help, or go back to Ronnie's vet, so I'll phone them tomorrow!

Okay, we're off to the vet - managed to get an appointment with the vet for Dublin Zoo. I'll singlehandedly pull the country out of the recession with what this will cost me.

He better not do a Ronnie

Hope this comes around again when I've bought a house, I'll be on the next ferry with a rental van* to stock up for my fish house!











*40 foot container lorry.

Nearly worth getting the ferry over for!

Hope some of you manage to grab one!

Yes, Jon, that too! Once I understood it, I rectified my stance on it - I hear people in work say things like 'I wonder if he /she is gay' but you never hear them say 'I wonder if he / she is straight' . Rattles my cage, it does!

I didn't used to be all equal rights and so on til I hit my 30's and then it just all came out of nowhere!

Yes Fishlady, all my fish are male by default unless they exhibit definite signs - suppose we shouldn't be imposing gender conformity on them :P

I'm an avid gamer and I was always assumed male, I moderate a large online community and for 10 years I was (and still am!) assumed male, its quite disheartening but sometimes the alternative is worse!

Gosh, even in my time women were not served pints in pubs and were forbidden to enter the bar area! Shenanigans!

Oh god, I thought you were a bloke, I'm so sorry!

Wonder what made me think that! I blame years of social conditioning!

Yup, going to phone the vet next week when the country returns to something resembling normal.

I know she's operated on fish tumours before, so hopefully she can do something for Chu, but it's in such an awkward place!

Second! yay!
