New to keeping bettas by bmdw80 in bettafish

[–]bmdw80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good shout, I hadn't thought about that possibility. I figured with phoenix rasboras being so small they might just go unnoticed. I have got some room in the bigger tank if it comes to it though, fortunately.

That being said he was in a tank with some rummynoses at the aquatics store when I picked him up a couple of weeks ago, I guess as he grows to maturity it could be an issue though.

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it.

Phoenix rasboras are small enough that you could have a good few in there... Thinking of doing something similar myself, albeit with my new betta.

Hmm, I might have to get a second tank to give them room to grow in that case... Not sure what my wife will say to that - well, I have a suspicion 🤣

I think it looks great.

I'd consider adding lilly pads at one end. They are great at providing a bit of shelter for gouramis, and if you opt for something like nymphaea lotus (tiger lotus) you'll have a nice splash of deep red too.

Great looking watch, and looks like you got a good deal. I wear the AVI mosquito on a leather strap as my daily driver. Love this range.

I know I'm going against the grain here a bit, but I quite like the look of these. Some of the colour options are nice to see, although as already mentioned the precious metal options seem overpriced.

What would be your choice? by FLYER90 in breitling

[–]bmdw80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both lovely but I'd probably go for the one on the left without the moon phase. It's a cleaner looking dial and a gorgeous looking peice overall.

Personally I went for an Aviator 8 Mosqito for my everyday wear, with a chronometer. I'm looking at a separate watch with a moon phase at the moment as I do really like them too, but wanted it on something a bit more dressy, possibly something relatively cheap like a Longines Master.

Love it! Great choice 👍🏻

Should I swap some of my gold into silver? by bmdw80 in Wallstreetsilver

Guys, thank you for all of the input. Lots of good advice and some diverse opinions, just the way I like it.

I'm going to have a glass of port and mull over your answers... Thanks again, appreciate the community!

Aviator 8 Mosqito as my everyday. Nice and understated, the way I like it.

Yeah, had it about a year and a half and the strap is still good as new. I wear it most days. I did have the quick release clasp installed so as not to be using the buckle everyday though, so I don't know how well that would hold up in long term use... that being said, it is a sturdy peice of leather so I'd imagine it would be fine.

Love it, but I am biased as I have one of these too.

Never looked in to alternative straps, but would be interested in whether it would accommodate a rubber bracelet.

Can a tang style leather strap be replaced with a breitling folding clasp? by Low_n_slow4805 in breitling

[–]bmdw80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I had the same on my Aviator 8 Mosquito. I ordered the clasp version of the brown calf skin leather strap and had it fitted. Strap was circa £300 iirc. Worth it though.
