carp/koi in a tank?

I bet CArol Gulley is probbaly related to Frankfurter dude....Sounds
just like a Gulley from Tenn. To be honest I bet frankfurter is
probbaly CArol Gulleys buddy Ed Alston! He is emphatuated with
buttholes etc so that post that was made would fit right up Ed Alstons
alley as its of his mindset!

actually for a black live bearer
ya can't go past the new swordtails
they really are very very goochy indeed
As to Byron Pets being a bad shop
I couldn't disagree more
Always looked after me
and by far the best in the area.

I'm a fussy customer too!
Anyone who is willing
to order me in obscure wild caughts
or selectively get me an awesome full size panda oranda
is always gonna be in my good books.

Maybe Mr Frankfurter needs to get some skills
because Byron Pets has had the best rep in the area for a long time now!
I should know I used to work there!
And I don't just work in any old shop
They have to put the fish first
:)
Your remarks are pure defamation
and it doesn't take much to neo-trace you back to Bangalow.
Seems someone is violating the conditions of a court finding.
