Posted By: Spannerhead Fish wanted - 19th Aug 2011 8:06pm
Fish wanted for my empty tank. Big or little, not Bothered what colour as long as they healthy.
Looked on eBay but was worried they might die in transit.
Anyone can help would be great. Maybe someone on here breeds fish?

would not worry about that with goldfish as the babies will be eaten by the adults unless you seperate them.

Posted By: Snickas Re: Fish wanted - 19th Aug 2011 10:28pm
ever thought of getting a frog? they are so entertaining!
You should see ours go after his dindins
Posted By: Spannerhead Re: Fish wanted - 19th Aug 2011 10:33pm
Lol, nah got a bit of a beer belly now.
Posted By: Spannerhead Re: Fish wanted - 19th Aug 2011 10:34pm
Can you keep a frog in a tank?
Why is it entertaining watching a frog eat?
What do frogs eat?
I'm intrigued now.
Posted By: Snickas Re: Fish wanted - 19th Aug 2011 10:38pm
well ours is in a tank.
They eat crickets or locusts (box of about 50 of them for £2.50 from Barks Pets), our 'froggy' (his name by the way) loves locusts more.
Its entertaining because he has to jump after the dinner. You should see his dinnertime here, we all crowd around his tank! lol
He always eats 3 in about 2mins and they're big locusts.
Posted By: Spannerhead Re: Fish wanted - 19th Aug 2011 10:46pm
You should film him & put it on here or on YouTube with a link on here, would love to see that.
