Great pics Hell Fire...

Andywoolloo, I think the corkscrew-thing is marketed as a "screwcumber" or something similar- I'm not sure if it's marketed in the US but you could do a search query on it and find out?

Thanks very much. I was quite impresed at how good the pics came out actually! For me lol!
Yes its a screwcumber. Im in the Uk and managed to find a man on ebay selling them in a twin pack. there not to dear and there great! Stops all the veg floating off and it doesnt rust or polute the wayer! Also no shap edges. Some people use a fork but its not ideal really.
I cant belive my plecs have had more babies! Hes still there fanning the eggs lol.

Hi,
Let see in a few weeks. Usually when they start, if there are no major changes in the maintenance, you will have a lot of new babies every 3 weeks...
See you,
Matien
