What's in the Shopping Bag this week then? Hey!

Maybe to kick off a 'boast' thread......and it may be used in evidence in divorce cases

So.....what is in the fishy shopping bag this week?......

I'll kick off with this past weeks bagged shopping:
-Sawbwa resplendens (asian rummy nose)
-Charax gibbosus (do they have a common name? mad-looking cross between a glass fish, a club-shaped headstander, and a vampire fish)
-Teleogramma brichardi
-Thoracocharax stellatus (?? possibly....I need to get a final ID on these but they are quite small at present and need to settle in quarantine....or they could be some other hatchetfish)
-Nannostomus beckfordi (pencilfish); and
-Iriatherina werneri (threadfin rainbow)


Ian

Ah, thats what the lighter type of marbelled hatchet I have is!
Cheers Ian.

P.s. They will find any gap in a lid. Even the ones you can't see.




P.p.s. Who the F*** decided it was a good idea to disable left click on forum posts, so as to require typing a fish name into google instead of highlighting it and right-click to search?

BAD MOD

Hopefully sense will return. Soon.

I have left and right click mouse functions.

Hatchets are flying wizzards (possibly the closest to a true flying fish......but boy, look at that sternum).

ian

Erm ... Not guilty ...

didn't change anything on the forum. And it works with my Chrome ... Maybe you altered something on your computer

Valerie

@Acara.....maybe if we did invite you around for dinner, I probably wouldn't be offended by you bringing some of your booze purchases

@ciaranm.....some very choice fish you got. Are the baby Tropheus still the little (cutie....not my word btw) full polka dot stage?

ian

5 little P. Polleni and an ornate pictus in my shopping bag this week.

There was very nearly an African tiger fish that I spotted yesterday, what a fish....

ye ian all a couple of inch all dots look great with petracola,s and some small caeruleus.i also have a adult group but they look great with the spots in a group that size .ciaran

Mmmm.
Still no left click highlight function in IE. Only on this forum. Works fine everywhere else....
Haven't tried chrome (don't really like it).

you need to buy a new mouse murph lol. probably have that one from the dos days.

There's a challenge. Configure a serial mouse on a laptop without a serial port.
Probably still easier than doing it on DOS5 with 2 serial ports available, when some s***** cork w***** decides to swap the input and then boot the machine.
Quite difficult to fix without the install disks (no longer available!).

not much in the shopping bag this week

i got a co2 system for my plant setup that i will be starting when i get all the few bits also got a few bits for planting like cutters and tweezers and all the bits for the co2

also for my 260 i added a lovely pair off rainbows (thanks andy) and a Fluval spary bar kit for the ex filter

next week ill be lookin into gettin a RO unit off kev

and try have a look around for a cheap enough ex filter for the 180

ya are never finished buyin stuff for the setups are ya lads haha

(missus not happy but wat can ya do)

sean

met ian at seahorse on sat. so he's probably added to his list lol. we were there till well after closing and had a very enjoyable mini conference (chat) with keelen, xeon and darren. i just bought some filter floss to see if i can clear the pond of green water and some fine black gravel for the crystal shrimp. they are doing a big makeover at seahorse and it is starting to really shape up and should be very impressive on completion.
also called in to purrfect pets and they have a display of huge, wild, red spotted green discus, well worth a look for any of the discus fans. dont know if they are for sale or display though.

'twas a good chat, Derek.
I think we discussed everything except Cars (well...even that as 2 people tried to reverse into you).
If there's a chat on classic rock, then I'm happy.

And a great inspiring chat with yourself, Keelan and Darren on the feeding of copepods etc

I didn't buy any fish though (even though I have a completed premium loyalty card awaiting decisions).
I only dropped up as J was away for the weekend, and to snoop on how the Seahorse revamp was coming along, and to get a piece of bog-wood for the Teleogrammas.

The discus in wackers (purrrfect pets) are for sale as far as I know. But the price does seem to have gone from the tank.

ian

Well....I have been buying again during the past week.

Got another Steatocranus tinanti (ugly buggers);
some nice Panda Corys (hey....buy 1 get 1 free....couldnt resist that);
some more, yes, more, Teleogramma brichardi (ugly fish again); and
Gymnogeophagus balzanii(whoops, another ugly but overly cute fish)

Check for spyware, I use Spybot or adaware, both free

Kev.

It looks like no one is doing any buying
But, the shops are still getting some nice fish in stock to tempt finicky buyers like me.

In the last few weeks, here is what shops have been able to 'con' me into buying (just joking there).

Nanochromis transvestitis
Stiphodon elegans....got 4 of them. very nice.
Some more small chocolate gouramis (I needed more males to cope with the female thugs !)

some nice Aponogeton plant species and a good pieces of hardware.

And many other temptations.....but room and compatibility is a problem.

I'm sure other people are still buying stuff.....what stuff?

ian

on my list between now and the new year..

a male Valliant gourami
gold nugget pleco
red severum pair
Licorice Gourami
LDA25 plecos
shadow catfish

that will keep me happy for now!!
if anyone has any of the above for sale can let me know!!

@Cichlidguy and Dyco619.....some choice fish on them lists.

I've been very good and have resisted the temptation back into Tanganyikans. But I do like Tropheus.

@dyco....have you got or are you looking for liquorice gourami and valliant chocs gourami? (I couldn't quite work out if that was some wishes or not).

You need as many male valliants as you can get.....the females are total bitches (to be honest...and that is nothing against women) towards the poor old males.

Hi Murph & forum users,

I just noticed the left click [COPY] function disabled myself from Internet Explorer (IE) browser. I just tested it on Chrome & it works fine there. Furthermore, I tested other websites using my IE8 and the mouse text select and copy function works fine. I can only conclude that there is some website setting that the Irish Fish Forum moderators need to adjust to enable the mouse click copy function in IE. In the interim users can download Google Chrome.

Slainte,

Paul

Howdy.
Eventually got it sorted. Had to run this site in compatability view with IE8 and all back to normal.

@ Murph : Glad you got sorted out

@roscelt : Did you try this "compatibility mode" ? Did this help ?
I personally hate IE these days. I use Chrome all the time
