Poor goldfish

 

[almostthere]

I know. It might surprise me though - it's seemed to be on its last legs (fins?) for about a year and somehow manages to survive. Has had finrot, fungal infections etc and keeps pulling through. But is still looking really poorly and can't seem to bring itself down from the top of the tank atm : (

I love rhubarb - my mum used to make a rhubarb and custard tart mmmm

 

[roosnanny]

look up swim bladder disease,could be that,
do you pre soak his food before feeding,sometimes they gulp
to much air when feeding.

 

[almostthere]

Yes, I thought of that. He is looking a bit lopsided... Haven't pre-soaked their food before but will try that. Thanks!

Does anyone know the net carbs for Skinny Rice (Maharani Rice)? I bought it off LCM and it's delicious, but no idea of the carbs!

Thanks.x

If this is the same stuff you have, I'm sorry to say it's very carby (and from what I read, also a scam. Sold for the fact that it's gluten free, when normal rice is gluten free anyways)

Carbs are 79.8g per 100g so rather high in carbs even compared to normal rice I'm afraid

Sorry your fish is feeling poorly, hope he survives.

My mom used to make strawberry rhubarb pie. I made a great sauce for last year's Easter ham with rhubarb suppose you could use splenda. It was a beautiful pink color.

Aaaw thanks. He seems happier today - still a bit lopsided but swimming about much more. I think he just likes feign illness to torment me...

have you tried cooked shelled peas,sometimes give
them to my fish,they go down really well.
soft and squidgy.

 

[Littlestar_kc]

Can we all add our random thoughts?

CATS ARE TOO SMELLY. That's mine right now.

Lol add when the moment takes you, as random as you like. Nothing like a bit of light hearted fun . X

Nemo seems absolutely fine today! But I like the idea of the shelled peas. Apart from the benefits to swimbladder, I think they would enjoy the change!

How many fish do you have roosnanny, and what type? (Sorry, total fish hijack of the thread here...)

 

[roosnanny]

could always jump over to my diary,got tree frogs there
cichlids,gold fish,and community tropical.

yeah sorry for the hijack
