When You know it is just right

 like she wanted to buy an Apartment in Shanghai and rent it out ( to invest ) open her own Aquarium Store also in Shanghai . Well , her EX shut her down and forced her NOT to do any of this ( her wish ) to get ahead and better their Life . It was alway's , him and him some more . After she left him , she now own's an Apartment in a nice area in Shanghai and she had not just one but two Aquarium Store's at the time we have made contact with each other .

Arnold.......

How come you get the Lady with the aquarium stores....that's my hobby so probably she got the wrong bloke (hahahahaha).

Here is aphoto of my living coral reef...hope she likes it :icon_cheesygrin:

Willy, Peggy tells me it is a 3 hour trip from Shenzhen to Shaoguan by bus.  It looks to me that you are on the other side of the bay from Shenzhen.  I do want to meet both you and Ted.  I have no concept of how things work as far as travel and time in China.  Maybe we could all meet in Guangzhou for a day.  I know Peggy used to live there.  Right now I am focusing on the relationship with her and am not talking about much of anything but me and her.  I had no idea how much it bothered her that my blossoms.com account was still open.  Give me another week and I will talk with her about meeting.

David, OK... Now I am jealous after looking at the picture of your aquarium.  That was a hobby I gave up to keep the marriage happy and you see where that got me.  I guess I should be grateful because I have 3 wonderful children and the bad marriage led me to looking for a Chinese wife.  One day soon I will fire up another aquarium.  I am already collecting supplies when I find them dirt cheap.

I also wanted to mention.  Last night I was web camming with Peggy when a man appeared in camera range.  It was her brother.  He had stopped by to visit as he was passing though town on his way elsewhere.  I guess he wanted to see this American his sister had been spending so much time with. (Yes, I know what you are thinking, they did look like brother and sister.)

I must have reacted to his presence because suddenly Peggy started laughing and said, "this is my brother."  The point to this story was that he gave her a red envelope.  It was the first one I have ever seen.  She told him thank you and opened it up right there.  Peggy and sister always make me feel like I am a part of the family.  The brother?  Well... I am not sure but it was our first look and he seemed to be preoccupied with something else.

Shaun , glad you have it all under control and not pushing too much against her will .

David , that is just breath-taking . I also love Saltwater Fish Aquarium's so much more . Can you blame anyone ? their so much more beautiful , but not cheap to start or keep up . Here are some Photo's of Qing's Store , which she does not have anymore .

[rockycoon]

those are excellent, you've both done an excellent job.  Living on solar power does not afford me the pleasure of owning one, however being a scuba diver does.  I like looking at the real thing...sharks too....:icon_cheesygrin:

Arnold,

Now I am also jealous as a beautiful lady who owns a fish store would be my dream lady.

Here is my Kuhli loach:



I like Kuhli loaches. I have heard they live for 30 years if you look after them. Actually I think mine are indestructible. Oh, and I have no sharks, not even China sharks lol :icon_cheesygrin:.

[Arnold]

You know , it is only one of dozen's of coincidences that Qing and I share . She having had two Aquarium Stores and me of course being a Pisces ( a Fish ) . I now only have my Parrot , no more Fish . Anyway , how safe would they be with a chinese Woman in the House ... cooking ? I'm ... or my Bird is lucky , he's not to big and meaty . :icon_cheesygrin:

[David5o]

Arnold,

Just as well she's not a Cypriot then!! ...Here they go out shooting birds not much bigger than a Wren, if there's more than a mouthful of meat on these birds they would be mightily lucky!! lol!!

Even more crazy, these guys that go out shooting these birds actually call themselves ''hunters'' They have all the camouflage gear, the boots , the whole 9 yards. ...haha!! What amazes me also is that they use shotguns, so they can't really miss, but also there can't be much left of these tiny birds, ....that or they have to be full of buckshot!! ...hahaha!!  

David....

[Arnold]

Hahahahaha .... David , that is very true . Also see it happening here . One good thing after you hit them with a Shotgun , you have taken care of their Feather's already ... ready for cooking right from the Field .

Do I have to admit I had parrots and fish too? The fish commited suicide a couple of months ago , the tank is empty right now. And the parrots (a pair of African Gray) were way too much work and talked too much hehe, I found a nice home for them after they mostly destroyed my interior in the 6 months I had them, poor things need to fly and I am such a soft heart, so ...

So all you experts, what kind of fish are low maintenance in a 260 liter open top tank? (this is what it looks like after 4 weeks running in, then it became a jungle, now there is just sand in it)

[Arnold]

Now of course Frank , I would put into my 260 gallon tank " Lobster's " . Keep them a short time and they make a great Meal . Very low maintenance . Haha

Frank,
in the usa i had  a  umbrella cockatoo,pocket parrot,and a parrot and they
talked and chirped a lot but didnt chew anything. my umbrella used to walk
around the floor after the german shepard kinda chasing her saying
"watcha doing bubba" and the shepard played with her keeping a few steps ahead of the bird
that was funny when people saw it. when they got tired the dog would lay down and the
umbrella would climb her and stand on her back and they would sleep   now my freind had a macaw
ad forgot to lock the cage 1 morning ad came home to his banister leading upstairs in sawdust and
chips all over the place

Low Maintenance fish in an open tank ?.........Plastic/Artificial fish :icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin:

Hahaha, I'll look into  to that :icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin:

Well topping evaporation off is the easy bit with RO, I'm well equipped, but I want something without heat, no plants, feed them and leave them sort of thing, not too picky about the water quality. I'm willing to change water partially now and again (this tank lasted 12 months without water change, heavily planted and with a low population. Just if I heat the water, evaporation is crazy especially in winter. Around 5 liters daily. Unheated however it's more like 5 liters per week, I'm testing now, just some snails left in there at present.

Gold fish? There are some really nice ones ...

Ted, my 2 little devils ate plaster mouldings, furniture, books ... no matter how much stuff I brought in for them to chew. I have a large library and they loved to throw the books down from the shelves. They both spoke over 40 words at 6 months old, even often correct in context. The girl was a cuddle bird, the boy a real playful chap who would play hide and seek or catch my toes under the blanket (ouch! ). And they loved orange juice and (diluted) coffee for breakfast, they ate everything we ate hehe, they loved sausage for some reason so I took them out with me when we had a barbecue. I still miss them but I'm glad they're gone, they were at least 2 hours work a day not to mention that they wanted company a lot and complained bitterly if they didn't get it.
