Well, in a follow up research of this "project", i found the preliminary results to be slightly modified from what i had originally expected. the anoles were suited in a fairly large and balanced tank, and the Betta was not an ibvertebrate, but rather another part of the project. This lead to the unfourtunate result of the fact that at tleast three tanks are now over stocked w/ assorted goldfish. There was also another unamed tree frog with a satisfactory setup. The alrgest issue to be concerned w/ is the SW tank. Yes, i said SW! Apparently, to the dislike of the teacher, two students purchased a poor quality sw setup that appeared to be roughly 30-40 gallon, (i'll get the dimensions tommorrow when i help out), complete w/ hydrometer, power filter, lights (assuming very low quality), regular white gravel, a fan worm, two masses of algae, one clownfish, one baggani cardinalfish, and last but not least, and ANEMONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In response, to the purchase the teaher stated that teir choice was less than ideal (someone probably didnt listen...) and was quoted sayinf the following "It is a student project, and for now they will be taking care of them; when december comes, they either take them home or we give the away." (DeputyChiefJr, you might be interested, PM me)

Besides the obvious issues (ie, gold fish, complications w/ the SW) the main concern on the plate is of course the anemone. The fan worm, appears to be in fair condition, and i have even seen it fully extended. The anemone is not immediatly identifiable, but it looks vaugely like this:

which leads me to believe that this may not even be an anemone.

This setup; anem. excluded, might have been remotely stable, were it not for the fact that these students are planneing to downgrade the tank to 10 GALLON TANK!!!

I have recently recieved a digital camera, so we may be fortunate enough to see some pictures.
Currently i am cleaning out my room so that i might be able to help save some lives, and i am also talking w/ the teacher to see what kind of help i can give before and after school, so hopefully i will at least prolong their existance. ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED, PLEASE POST URGENTLY, AS I WILL BE IN THE ROOM TOMMOROW MORNING!
