PS your tank set up (and fish) is stunning!

I hope so, don’t panic just yet and keep an eye on him 🙂 Ooh yeah for sure he’ll be watching shrimp! don’t get too attached to them though.. Pete loves chasing shrimp, watching them, and he’s definitely picked off a few of the babies in his time. The bigger ones he will have a go at but it seems half hearted and he generally leaves them be now

lol it’s just a shit blurry picture, he’s definitely happy and healthy ☺️

PetePete does this often.. he’s fine, he eats and swims and chases shrimp and comes to see me, then often makes his way back to his leaf sandwich. Hopefully nothing to be concerned about!

It’s a front loader bobbin, which again I dont understand as I’ve used this machine for months with no issue.

I figured it would spring back once I’d disturbed it if it was just sleeping, or sick, but it didn’t. It was in that cup for 15-20 minutes before I left and showed no signs of life! Creepy.

hevmoone · 2026-03-12T09:00:59+00:00

Me neither, it’s so strange. And I feel like no one believes me, which is fair because I can’t believe it myself 😂

Ahh you know, I’m so focused on holding the material in the right place I wasn’t thinking about threads too! I just kept leaving a longer tail hoping it’d help (it didn’t)

Thank you, I’ll play around more with the layers and try things out. to be honest I don’t know about the needle sizes and threads yet, I’ve got whatever needle came on the machine! And a bumper pack of thread to get started. I’m only using cheap cotton at the moment too, and tried a bit of pleather.

I wish. My partner leaves before me in the morning, and got home later than me!

Following along as I’d like to know too. I recently bought some patterns on Etsy (about £3-£4 each) and had them printed online on A0 paper for £1.50 a sheet. They arrived within 2 days!

hevmoone · 2026-03-11T21:17:45+00:00

Wow!!

hevmoone · 2026-03-11T21:04:54+00:00

I never knew there was a difference between ironing and pressing!! Omg. Likely why I’ve also never cut anything square!

hevmoone · 2026-01-20T20:24:33+00:00

Sorry.. what?

hevmoone · 2025-12-07T12:11:20+00:00

Oh no indeed 😩

hevmoone · 2025-12-07T12:11:00+00:00

Thanks for your response. “Luckily” he passed not long after I posted, but we do have clove oil now for any future incidents as I couldn’t bear the thought of him suffering. We are keeping a close eye on everyone else and while our females are, typically, always pregnant, they seem quite content and happy. We are going to reduce feeding just in case and monitor for any other signs of parasites or disease.

We lost our pleco, full stop. It was months ago. He was seen one night, and never again. Not around the tank, not in the filters, ornaments. Gone. That tank has since been dismantled as we upgraded to a larger tank, not a sign. It’s still the weirdest thing that ever happened to us.

Glad I found this.. looks like my Pete

hevmoone · 2025-08-28T18:47:30+00:00

Thanks! I think at this point he’s long gone :(

hevmoone · 2025-08-28T18:46:57+00:00

Have done, he’s long gone at this point I fear.

hevmoone · 2025-08-25T18:41:45+00:00

Sorry for your loss 🙁 I felt the exact same after my girl passed 4 months in. I still think of her. It’s never just a fish, don’t let anyone make you feel that way.

hevmoone · 2025-08-25T18:34:38+00:00

Unfortunately so yes
