Thanks for the laugh, especially the tip about the photo of Roy. I was
going to put up a "family album" for my fish so they'd feel happier knowing
how much the International community feel for them - but now I'm not going
to risk it :-)
To achieve that utopian dream of the typical American tank (perhaps that
should read hobbyist tank as we have similar problems in Oz) you could
probably introduce them to gluttony, over weight fish must be able to
survive longer on their stores of body fat :-) and I think the excess feed
would work well with the non water changes.
Regards,
Baz.
