Thanks guys. Don't worry Michael, my kids rarely get called by their actual names. I'm a bit of a shocker for pet names & they each have more than one. lol

Sorry I haven't been on for a while everyone. Life with 3 kids has been busy, busy, busy & I've had a few other major hurdles along the way..... Let's just say that besides having the baby, I don't think 2010 is my year! So I still owe you all a name. We named him "Jack Ryan". I wanted him to be Ryan, but Rob wanted to name him after his grandfather, Jack. So needless to say I lost & the poor little mite didn't have a name for the first 3 weeks because I just couldn't get my head around not calling him Ryan. I hope everyone has been well & when I get more than a few spare minutes, I'll work on getting some photos up. xoxo

Thanks everyone. He's an angel. Now to get used to life with 3 kids..... Yikes! & Lisa believe it or not, he's not my biggest. My daughter was 4.64kgs (10lb 5oz)! I grow em nice & big! lol

I am thrilled to announce the newest addition to our family, a beautiful, healthy baby boy yet to be named. He arrived on the 17th of June weighing a whopping 4.575kgs (or just over 10lbs in the old scale). We couldn't be happier! Once I get settled in a little better I will add some photos.

Happy Birthday love! Sounds like you've had a lovely day. xoxo

You're right Lisa. Shemma's house is literally only a couple of minutes away from Fountain Gate & there's probably a pretty good chance it's one of his fish.

Awesome photos!

I'd put an air stone or something like that along the back wall. I always think a curtain of air bubbles looks good.

My guess would be combtail.

First of all welcome! Secondly there are products you can use to help cycle the tank. My LFS has a product they sell called "Bio Boost" or there is an actual product called "Cycle" that most LFS's stock.

That last tank is amazing! & thank you Shemma for agreeing to host the next MBG.

Thanks Lilli. & Yun I'm glad to hear the leaves arrived without a drama. Let us all know how they work.

I know Lilli, surprise, surprise. But it's all due to an even BIGGER surprise.... I have recently found out that I am expecting my 3rd baby & I just don't feel I'm going to be able to cope with 3 small children, 16 fish tanks, one overzealous staffy, 2 rambunctious rats, one mental budgie.... I think my "human" babies are going to be taking up all of my time for quite a while! It was not an easy decision, but I have to look at what my highest priorities are right now. Still tossing up whether to keep my tanks or sell them on.... Sorry for the thread hijack Yun! Have the leaves arrived yet?

First of all "HI!" & second of all I am getting out of bettas & I have about 120 IA leaves here at my place (from Jeff). If you want to pm me your address, I don't mind putting a couple in an envelope & sending them to you in the mail. Cheers, Holly.
