I have three of them and they've just laid their first clutch of eggs ... can't wait for them to hatch. I love the pics of your aquarium and your snails. Can I contact you in case I have any questions on apple snails and can't find them online? Hi,

I had a similar situation that forced me to go to the dentist; got something caught in a tooth and couldn't get it out, then it got infected and the pain was unbearable so I had no choice. But they were good and it went well, so I ended up being a 'regular customer' again. Great to hear you have the pinhole working! I haven't been on photo.net for a while (been very busy lately) but I'll get back in there again and try and get caught up. Cheers! Hi Cintia,

I have some wisdom teeth that are bothering me too; specially when I'm eating peanuts or almonds or my favourite potato chips. The bits just dropped in the side and it's hard to get them out even with toothpicks etc... ... I'm scared of eating nuts now :( I wanted to visit a dentist, but always scared of that. Maybe I'll do so after reading your blog. A great comfort. Between, I finally had time to fix my pinhole camera the way you suggested on photo.net; using a thin tinfoil for the hole. Voila, finally a picture came out and I can't wait to share with you. A bit blurry, but at least there is something this time! Thanks and have a nice day :) Cintia Hey Stephanie,

I moved about 15 or 18 eggs, and got two babies. They're about an inch long now and soon I'll put them back with the adults. If you leave the eggs on the glass, sometimes the corydoras will even eat their own eggs - you can tell if the eggs are viable if they turn sort of brownish. But if they get white and 'fuzzy' then they are no good. Sometimes you can use a magnifying glass to even see a baby fish inside the egg, if it's viable the baby fish is visible after a few days. That's when I move the eggs to the nursery tank. Cheers! The parents ended up eating the baby in the picture… :(

Kitten-fish. That is so cyoot. I wish my cories would make babeez for me. I have platy and guppy babies out the wazoo. But the cories lay eggs (they stick them to the sides of the tanks) and then, nothin. Nothin. Sigh. :-) Warren Wow. Kitten-fish. That is so cyoot.
