Kleos journal.

English makes no sense. : )

Screw it. I put the abbreviations in random places and hit submit.

(not really)

Ok, it's easier than I thought. I mean, I had to remember it wrong (I was learning english like 20 years ago). I understand 's and s forms, because it's obvious from context, but it seems I just complicated it in my head with no reason. Thank you gentelmen and lady for help.

Anyway, maybe I'll return the favour one day and if someone of you decides to become a kamikaze and learn polish (polish is probably most complicated and hard to learn language in the world) - I'll be more than happy to help.

I'm getting boring, am I? Anyway, for those who aren't bored with my bumbling, I just learned how to handle Kleo properly. And she ain't mad at me, at least not too much. OK, I had to fed Amon on my table and handled Kleo when he was eating - but my girl was so exited to see what he's doing, that she actually didn't get mad at me. Well, not so much, like the last time, anyway. I couldn't take a photo though, because I was busy to keep my baby in place. Ok, I'll keep posting on progress.

Yes you're boring the crap out of me Cool story/update thing. It's funny how much Kleo pays attention to Amos

Same old, same old, Kleo just ate a third pinkie in her life, by mistake, of course. Gotta really think about making her to eat it without fooling her with swordtail. I'm going to buy more frozen smelts and next time she'll be starving until she eats them stright from the pot (without me jerking them, as she sometimes do) and there will be pinkie among them. I'm little worried though, because Stefan once told me (somewhere in his comments of his videos on YT) that ribbons are actually very hard to convert to mice. Well, the good thing is, she's eating pinkies anyway, even if she doesn't know that she's actually a mice eater, right?

Best of luck with Kleo.
You might just have to do some degree for scenting to get her to eat.
Do you keep these swordtails whether you have Kleo or not?
I will be working in converting my ribbon over to mice in the next few months.
Keep us posted on Kleo's progress.

No, I started this tank with guppies and Lucky (the swordtail) because of Kleo. They actually breed quite nice, but still, their offspring is too small to be feed on Kleo, so Lucky has to do the job (I don't want to loose any of my four female guppies, because they breed so good and males are just too small). But keeping those fish isn't a big problem, really. I'm not very concerned if I'll have to feed Kleo like that for the rest of her (or mine, to be precise) life (it's quite fun to keep Lucky alive, while Kleo's hunting him and instead making her to eat a pinkie), but my mission is to make Kleo as tamed as possible and eat everything I give her.

Oh yeah, and I scented a pinkie with guppies, but she doesn't want to eat them directly from tongs and only from the waterdish, where they loose guppie's scent; that's why there must be a swordtail present.

Funny, it seems I wasn't the only one who invented the trick with the fish and the pinky in the water.

Why, why, WHY ppl are selling eastern ribbons as eastern garters? So those girls are trying to sell me an eastern ribbon as eastern garter. Kleo would be probably happy, but dang!

[RedSidedSPR]

'cause they're clueless.
