Eco Homes 101

Luk3Th3Duk3 asked:


Hi! I have Two dwarf Gourmis which i bought about a week ago. They’ve got a nice established tank to themselves, well planted lots of rocks to hide in, floating plants, and some snails to eat any of the dead crap at the bottom. Well after the first day i saw him grabbin twigs and fluff and stuff and putting it in the corner…i thought nothing of it. Came home after work and found what looked like “eco-friendly” puke in the corner. did some reasearch wot do you know its a nest?! which im fine with havnt got a problem with them having a bit of fun and games and leaving me to do all the work. thing is they must be nervous or something coz they arnt at it? i dont no whats the matter? they have a varied diet and clean nitrate free water and NADA! so whats up? do the females need to be in heat or something? do they need more food? less light? More airation? comfy bed? Champagne on ice? Barry white? i dont no! What am i doing wrong guys?!
ok Attention dark monk is a bit off a tosser i CAN tell the difference between a female and a male and Yes i am 100% sure they are. I got them from a higly respectable business around the corner from me which specialise in koi carp and home aquariums. so please dont think i am naive

Sorry…I’m not trying to stir up ‘nappy debate’ or that, but we are working on how we can budget more efficiently, so maybe another little one wont be too far off!

We talked about cloth…but decided since our washing builds up enough as it is, I don’t think throwing poo-covered cloth on top of that pile will do our home any justice!

I live in Australia, and basically our Options are
-Huggies
-Pampers (From Coles only..unless I missed the in Woolworths last time)
-Snugglers (Never tried them)
-Baby love (Don’t like these)
-And a few Eco friendly options (With unfortunately aren’t very Budget friendly!)

And all of the home(You’ll love coles and Select) and Aldi brands… (Not a fan of Aldi…my son wet straight through some of those!)

The thing is….we do not have an issue with Huggies at all…we have no real reason to change, (as they have done my son well without any leakage or explosions!)…except for the price, because here, pampers is slightly cheaper.

Basically I’m asking..is it worth the few extra dollars to stick with the Huggies..or do Pampers work better?

Thanks!
