Yes it does. I gotta say it. As far as i know the only thing you've bred is convicts. Your sig is wasting bandwidth, and anyone who takes the time to look at it will realize that you have no respect for your fish's health and well-being. Your stocking levels are insanely high (not to mention the fact that most of your fish aren't even full grown yet, nor will they be unless you are doing large daily water changes to dilute the high DOC levels you most likely have). You have no concept of species compatability or the territorial requirements of your cichlids. I've held off on this, but no more. You sir, are a TROLL.

:troll:
I am only 13 and will get a job and upgrades in may so I don't have a budget for much. As far as my sig goes take a look at the changes just made. as far as the fis fish go, I will get rid of all convicts but the 2 breeding pairs wich will go in a 40gal. I have got in the habit of 10gal water changes weekly. As far as territories go, you haven't even seen my set up, nor have I described it:to the far left there is a small ceramic log wich the pink breeders use, there is a 16" wood arch with many holes wich the synodontis lives happly, in the center is a flower pot and behind it is a giant false plant that takes up half the tank, to the right is a giant lace rock cave system, it has too far sized bace rocks the one one the right having a giant cave since i dug the gravel out, the top i a huge 20" lace rock and the blood parrot lives in the main cave, the original breeders live in the base lace rock and the severum and green terror live in minor caves in the lace structure the rest school all day

thats odd. I just shortened and saved my sig

there it is!

OK, it took me a while to track down where all this "history" came from. Now I think I've got it.

Mooman: I understand your frustration, but don't think fish breeder 05 fits the classic definition of a troll. Young, yes. Troll, no.

f b 05: thanks for trying to fix the sig; I think it's fine now. I know how enthusiasm can lead to overstocking, and appreciate that you will try and correct for this in the future when your finances allow. That's all we can ask. When I was your age (hint: Nixon had just been elected president) I had some overstocked tanks, but really enjoyed my Rainbow cichlids. Wish I still had them now, but that's too many tanks and too many water changes under the bridge.

P.S. You could increase your water changes a bit, though.
I now tend to do about 40% per week for all tanks.

thanks
about my title: I research every second I get and I count this as a challenge for you all to ask a few questions on CAPTIVE breedable fish. at the stores they always ask be to identify odd fish that come in and things like that.

[fish_breeder_05]

I plan to start by going to the store tommorow and trading in my leopard puffer and 5" common pleco (wich has started to be more agressive less wanting to clean glass and is causing waste strains the lenth of my tank!) for a 2" chcolate pleco that I have seen to be an effective cleaner.
I would like to point out that even though mooman might have a problem with my current setup I do not have anything aginst him and all his posts I have seen have had correct information and is a great help to AC :bowing: :) :bowing: (not sarcastec)

FishBreeder.

I'm glad to hear that you will be upgrading your tanks. I may have gone too far when I labeled you as a troll. I apologize for that. In retrospect, it might have been better handled as a Private Message as well. With that said, I would be more than willing to bury the hatchet. It's obvious that you have a real interest in fishkeeping, and that should be incouraged.

[fish_breeder_05]

thanks. It wil be hard to find a good sized tank above 55 or a bowfront to show off the BP in a small town like hastings, nebraska, and shipping/handling goes way overboard by using the internet :rant: :soda: a plan, if I can find the right people, is to get a 125gal and put the blood barot in it,with the sevrum, green terror, a group of earth eaters(1 down sevral to go ;) ), and a new 1" JD with great coloring(I know, when hes older Ill stick him with the cons)( he has blood red lining all his fins, and afew white stripes that start at the top and downt go past the lateral line and the rest is pich black :clap: ) and still to own for 125 plan, some rainbow cichlids, some bluedempseys, a little more of the types i have, some good looking synodontis, some botia loach (mainly yo-yo and angelicus), and others that fit the categategory and catch my eye.

I wish I knew as much as you do Fish_breeder_05 when I was your age. The Troll who owned the local fish store in my area was the main place to go for fish way back then. Anyway, He sold me everything I needed. I spent all my money at the fish store to have my fish get sick 2 month later. I went to his store and he told me are you doing water changes I said I didn't know how. He told me to just drain the water off the top and treat with this medican. well I did nothing happened I went back he sold me a differant type of medical supply then. Well after time I lost the tank and he was trying to sell me new fish as they were dropping off. After I lost them all he told me I was doing the water changes wrong.

Time whent by I graduated highschool and I ran into an old friend from highshcool and he told me he bought the fish rack.
Thats was the name The Fish Rack. Well turned out the guy ripped him off because he had a bad rep for ripping people off and the way he was making money was by going to peoples house and doing watter changes on sualt water tanks. Well he kept all those accounts and the poor kid had nothing in the end.

Oh PS
Yeah he was trying to get me to pay him to come to my house and do watter changes as well.
