I am getting married 5th of november.
I have to watch my steps now. I better bring home flowers more often and first kiss her decently instead of running straight to the tank after returning home.

Sometimes she complains in a joking way that the zebra's get more attention than she. But fortunately she is very tolerant and has also a lot of interest in the fishes.
She gives the fish names. Is that a woman thing?

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

Why do women name fish?

Just a pet hate

"It is a Hypancistrus zebra, zebra plec. zebbie or big male or male 1, 2 or 3 not f*(^%^g nemo AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!"

BTW the anger management sessions are going well

I would like to see my Mrs try that on the community tank, there's 400+ Cardinals in there.

She's only named one fish so far, "Goldie" the albino ancistrus.

Blimey Ad what size tank you got? or do you keep them in the bath :lol

In the bath? In his swimming pool you mean!

More than 400! That must be an amazing sight! Do they reproduce spontaniously?
I am also curious about the dimensions of your tank. Could you send a picture?

And I thought that my 26 cardinals where already a lot.

My future wife has got names as "Whale" for a female swordtail of monstrous dimensions (sorry

, this one got in together with some platies because I can't refuse her anything), "Monster" for the fullgrown ancistrus, "Princess" and "Mistress" for the two female dwarf chichlids.

AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop, it is too much!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I already comment that she calls one of the fry "Tiny Tim"?

I can see that I'm a typical female

All my Zebras have names...

When you want to tell somebody what an individual has done, how do you explaing which one you mean? "The one with the broken line on the top of the head"? Much easier to say, "I think whiteeye is ready to spawn" isn't it?

Another prof we're more practical

*duck and hide myself*
