On a more personal note...how do you talk to them...my conversations
with my Queen Arabesque follow these lines (the Snowball is almost
sociable in comparison)

"Oi, you...yes, you, Mr Pl*c...you are the most expensive fish I ever
bought and what do I get to see - your a*se sticking out of a piece of
driftwood day in and day out...now don't give me "talk to the tail coz
the head isn't listening"....that is the level of my kids...get your
butt out of there and let me see what a wonderful looking fish you
really are - or the driftwood gets it - understand, do you, do you..... "


OK lost it for a moment...to the cichlids...

"Oh Mr and Mrs Cichlids you really are quite sick the way you beat up on
one another...but I guess it is what you do....you make both love and
war in that tank....but be warned...the net is coming out very soon and
some of you are leaving.....be on your best behaviour if you wish to
stay...the nasties amongst you will be the first to go...oh, with the
exception of Mr Batter..." (my Mum reckons he is big enough to deep fry
and he does love to batter the others - he is the alpha)....he might be
an absolute b*st*rd but he has character - plus he really interacts with
me - I think I might be the only living thing in his world that he has
any respect for....

Sorry, lost it again....

Been a rough day for you, has it, Gill?

I try not to do rough days if can be possibly avoided and there is very
little right now that would count as a rough day compared to a lot I
have seen in my life...if you need to know don't ask me on this ng...

My Queen Arabesque never shows itself and my Mbunas are on a suicide
mission by overstocking the tank....haven't bought one for well over 14
months....but seem to have more than double what I purchased inspite of
the murders....

I was being flippant...remember that....in fact I very much doubt you
can forget...you do it all the time :-)

Ah - so it is on good days that you engage in these deep conversations
with your fish. My error.

( I am flippant or I am forgetful? Hint: Both answers are correct.)
