Good luck Dron_Cah [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Its my brothers 50 birthday today, so i'm up (very) early to drop him off, he is going on a 4wd off road tour through the blue mountins, a present from his wife. Yesterday I gave him my present, a two hour flight over Sydney in a piper warrior with me at the controls for about twenty minutes. He seemed worried until I handed back control to my friend

The turbulance was bad though and I nearly produced a bowl of west Texas chilli (errr thanks Bungleau)over the controls. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Talking of flying, where is Lady Blue these days?

The pretzels are expensive... bwhahahaha

LOL, Good luck on the finals, Dron Cah.

LZ, that's a cool screenshot! I've never played that game so I wouldn't have recognized the character portraits. Really neat graphics in the second one.

Cloudbringer · 04-29-2005, 03:23 PM

Wellard, that was a fantastic present you gave your brother! I'm guessing he didn't get more than one of those so he won't be returning your gift!

[img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img] That is so incredible that you can fly a plane... scares the daylights out of me to even think of being in control of one of those puppies!

Wohooooooooooo! I just came back from the shop. I am holding in my hands Guild Wars: Collector's Edition. I feel so proud. Not many people (will) have it. It's friday and I don't know what to do. I think I can't play Guild Wars since the game requires at least Geforce 3 but I have Geforce 2 MX-400.

Simply she wait's till everyone's good and drunk then starts charging at triple the normal rate [img]tongue.gif[/img]

So glad it's Friday yay! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Unfortunately still trying to heal my sick fish, this is getting nuts. I've already spent a good $80 on a new heater, filter media, new air pump, air stones, and meds. Still this &^*&( fungus will not leave the fish's body. Just put in a 2nd dose of this one med, I hope it works, cause if it doesn't I have no clue what to try next. The tank is sparkling clean btw, so not a dirty tank problem, and all the water tests come out fine. Sigh...

Guess I'll go kill some stuff in Sacred for a bit, at least I'm successful in killing there LOL!

shamrock_uk · 04-29-2005, 07:58 PM

Sorry to hear about your fish Lady Z. Is the fungus definitely a 'bad' one? I'd imagine that this kind of thing happens in the wild - perhaps it would be cheaper just to leave it alone? Short of lifting the fishies out and scrubbing with a toothbrush of course [img]tongue.gif[/img]

johnny · 04-29-2005, 08:14 PM

You sure it's a fungus and not a bruisemark or something ? You know....since you sometimes beat the fish up and stuff ?

Ladyzekke · 04-29-2005, 08:18 PM

LOL, sometimes I wish I could just reach in and grab the fish up and use my fingers to physically scrape the crap off, but the fish won't let me LOL. I don't know what kind of fungus it is, there are hundreds of funguses, bacteria and parasites that can live in an aquarium, its a world of life you cannot see in the water besides the fish. It is very difficult to find out exactly what type of fungus, etc. in a fish without extensive knowledge and definitely a microscope, which I don't have. Thing is, I've had these two fish for 10 years (only one is sick, they are in the same tank but are separated by a divider) so I'm attached to them and really am ready to fight this fungus with whatever it takes, I just don't know what to do, that's the sucky/frustrating part. Fish keeps looking at me too when I walk up to the tank, like he's saying "c'mon dude fix me like you always do" and it's sad cause I DO always fix them, but this time it's different, and I don't know why. Could be the age of the fish, I have no idea how long African Synodontis Catfish (Lake Malawi in Africa) live.

LOL, I don't beat the fish up Johnny. I just felt like it when they started fighting last year, hence the divider! Glad I did that too cause it's kept the other fish from catching the fungus from hell.
