I think that 'Pix wouldn't vote Nano yesterday...' is a bit strong. I looked at how Hi IQ (LadyG) voted and wondered if she was on to something. So I went back and read her discussions again. From that I chose to vote Gunslinger. As for me being picked as a "kid", I suppose Nano, as a new...

P. stands for Procambarus.

It looks a bit like a P. clarkii, so yes they are very aggressive, likely to eat fish, or other species of invebrates (snails, shrimp, other crayfish). Fish that are either slow swimmers, or those that sleep on the bottom are particularly vulnerable. FYI, don't put any live plants in their...

Oh, my above post was a reply to Ice's;

LOL, the echo chamber is working fine. My first day voting had little to do with evidence, since there really was nothing of substance. Like I stated, I moved from Hooked to IQ because the vote was close, and I wanted to make sure that the town lynched someone. The claim that I'm...

Nano... careful, or you'll get hit with the Skimmer award. It's best to plead the 5th, or just read from where you leave off each day/logout.

Thanks Lexie. So Hi IQ was the Detective? crap. Looking back on Hi IQ (misnomer tho it be), I don't know if I should go with the last minute vote for Nano, or perhaps Gunslinger. For now, I vote to lynch Gunslinger.

It depends on the species of crayfish. Larger species such as P. clarkii, P. aleni, or any of the Cherax species (I currently have C. quadricarinatus), will eat snails. It does not matter if the snail has a trap door or not. They'll use their claws to break the shell open to get to the snail...

Mustafa, over at www.petshrimp.com has some excellent reference photographs of various breeds of shrimp. He usually includes pictures of male, female and juvenile shrimp. Here's the link to his Red Cherry shrimp page; http://www.petshrimp.com/redcherryshrimp.html

80% sure you've got a P. clarkii or P. alleni. Without good photos it's impossible to tell, even from the best description.

So what's the official vote tally at?

When I started typing it was: 3 votes for Hi IQ 2 votes nano 1 fire 2 DD 1 Zsand 1 hooked 1 Ice My kids distracted me and it took me a while to hit submit.

Actually I'm not voting with Hooked, I'm voting with the majority of ACville. Right now, I would rather see someone strung up than no one. I'm just worried about avoiding hanging chads, or Ralph Nader votes.

OK, to ensure that there can't be any last minute muddling with votes, and to make sure that SOMEONE get's strung up, I retract my vote for Hooked. Furthermore, and forthwith, I doth proclaim my vote to Lynch HiIQ, until dead, or at least no longer participating in this game, your choice.

I use a spatula to occasionally munch a few MTS in my shrimp tanks. They enjoy picking the shell bits clean. One tank of my Macrobrachium dayanum have learned to eat MTS. The larger shrimp can pry off the trap door and pull out the snail meat. But this is not a common behavior. I have 10...

Snail shells can also block the impeller in your filter, and cause the motor to burn out. I would definitely put something on the intake, to reduce the snails from entering the intake tube. As stated, pantyhose (boiled) will work, also a fine mesh media bag (for a canister type filter) also...

BTW, I've got a great little bash shell script for assigning out roles. All you need to do is assign a number to each player (tell the script the number of players), tell the script how many bad guys are, and what the power roles are and poof. Complete random assignments. You gotta love shell...

Now, if Don's were chosen for how crappy their bodies functioned, I'd have to be at the top of that list. I've been watching Scrubs on DVD, and directing the chitlins to do their choirs. The Janitor rocks , Dr Jan Itor. HA If I'm such a non threat, why is it that I was whacked, by the...

I was going to wait for the Hooked / LadyG suicide pact, but... I vote to lynch LadyG

Well, from the time the eggs are fertilized, it's usually 25-30 days. However, water temp, and quality can affect how long the eggs take to hatch. Since you got the females berried, there's no way to accurately predict, when they will hatch. There are a few indicators that you can watch for...
