Title: Ava's hobby
Post by: Mrs Ava on January 18, 2005, 17:51:19

So you know mine is gardening, and being supermum and head chef and bottle washer, and you know we both love the motorbikes, but Ava has another hobby, which I do have to do some gardening in.....

This is our lounge tank, no idea on size, Ava will tell you but I can tell you it has a selection on Mollies, neons, huge catfish which hide in the wood and eat all the babies and serpa tetras.

This is out fry tank full of snails >:( and endler fry. Bad pic, sorry, flash glare and dirty glass I notice!

Our fabulous tank. This is a whopper sitting on my window ledge in the kitchen, very tall, a good 3 foot, and very slim, maybe 8 inches - he will tell you. Full of platties, catfish, different tetras. He will have to give you the low down. ;D

Actually, I suppose this should have gone in the pet section! :-\

Emma I am shockedÂ :oÂ You mean to say that you actually let Ava have a whole windowsill. :oÂ but what about all your baby seedings that you could be growing there. :-XÂ Â ;)

Oh I like - I like a lot!!!
Your tanks look great but what's all this about Ava having a hobby of his own? Don't tell Ian please or he'll have to have one too. ;D

Mimi - the other side of the window there is a conservatory..............which Emma has every window ledge of..........all the way round (it is all windows)Â ::) ::) ;D

The kitchen tank is 5 ft long, but 2 ft high......

And it gives me something to doÂ ;D

Ditto type of husband here ;D

Picture the scene:-

10pm on a weekend...

Both in bed...

Husband reading a book on how to care for fish ( indoor tank)

Whilst I read back of packets of newly bought, never grown before seeds

and The Allotment Handbook by Caroline Foley

( newly acquired from Amazon for Â£9.09 ).

DebsÂ ;D ;D ;D
