Re: New raised pond build
Have a look for their wood protector ( it’s clear ) or the outdoor wood stain which I think has a 10 year protection guarantee on it. I’ve used it on some sleepers and the front is like new, the back (unpainted) has fallen to bits lol

Sorry for having to deal with that outburst on here! I've deleted the posts to keep the thread relevant.

Re: Baby shrimp!
DuzMano the difference there is the crab is more suitable for his water type. A lot of breeders use RO water and re-mineralise it to meet the fishes demands. Just because something has been bred locally and sold locally DOESN'T mean its suitable for the water YOU are keeping it in. LFS will tell yo...

Re: In The Shallows
Yeah, there won't be any banding as I believe its a Macropodus spechti :) I haven't seen paradise fish for sale anywhere for years, and said to the misses, if I ever find them local I'll have to buy one. Sure enough, this shop less than a mile from work had 4 different types in stock :shock: :D It's...
