Actually, there is a really good editorial series about the Health Care Crisis here in the US being written by Krugman in the NY Times (it's free to check out online if you're interested). Your point about the US getting far better service is actually only half true. Of all the...

I realize that I'm stepping in a little late here but... You have to love canadians weighing in on American problems (sorry, guys but somebody had to say it). The only reason I point this out is that there is a BIG POINT in what Mindtonic is saying that you guys aren't subject to- Health Care...

wear ascots, sip tea and collect checks.

A fairly simple fool proof way I picked up on another forum, posted up by a woman who goes by the handle of 2la and is very, very experienced- View the black 'spot' on the side of the Ram. If the spot contains the blue flecking seen on the rest of the body, it's female. If there is no...

Can't say I agreed with him on too many things. Still, even as a recovering Catholic who has pretty much renounced organized religion, I can say I'm sad to see him go. He was more than just a religous ruler, he was, within the confines of his office, a true humanitarian.

I'd say your best bet would be to herd them into a glass rather than net scoop them (that's if you can get your hand in there with mom and/or dad). As far as temp goes, I'd assume 78f would be best. I don't know if this is true with convict fry, but some smaller cichlids have metabolism...

and to my understanding, Altums, when in good shape, grow faster and larger than scalare.

A single cap of Excel every third day is way below the recommended dose. I think you can definitely rule it out. (I use about that much in my planted Nannacara 10g every three days with light co2 injection. No problems). My guess is that it was a pre-exsisting thing with the cory. Also...

Definitely rinse the sand before you put it in. This is easily done by placing the sand in a bucket, filling it with water and then draining off the water. You'll loose a little sand, but it will help you massively when you fill the tank. Also, if you plan on planting the tank, you'll want to...

What kind of cichlid is it? Mixed african?

Yeah, except that there is a massive problem with using hydrogen cells as a renewable energy source- strip mining. Apparently, as the technology stands now, you need lots of specific metals, including platinum to build the cells properly. There was a great article in the NY Times Magazine...

If you want to spawn them, you'd be best to leave the bottom of the tank free of others, though you might be fine with some upper level fish like neons or rasboras.

:mad: An international surgeons group is sitting in a bar after their annual convention, drinking. After a few hours, the specialists start to get drunk and begin bragging. The Norwegian surgeons boast, "We took the liver out of a monkey and put it in a man, six weeks later he was out...

Three Vampires walk into a noisy bar and sit down on the stools. The first vampire orders a blood. The second vampire orders a blood. The third vampire orders a plasma. The bartender, who had strained to hear them over the noise, shouts back at them, " let me make sure I've got this right...

If France is any indication, then yes. I recently found out that the French gov pays mothers a small sum every year for each child. (On face, this actually isn't a horrible thing, IMO).

I agree with everything N8 asked, they are all valid points for consideration, but I would add that if you are interested in breeding, you'll probably have an easier go of it with the platys. Danios aren't livebearers, they don't get pregnant in the traditional sense. Instead, they are egg...

The movement of the angel is kinnd of herky, jerky right? Sounds like stress related to a water quality issue. First, I don't think salt is a good idea with Angels. The environment they live in natrually is pretty much devoid of salt. Also, what was the pH before the salt? If the pH suddenly...

What do you call two melons that can't get married? Cantaloupe

As far as the Pristella goes, yes it will be fine, but it won't be happy. Most LFSs are like car salesman, "what can I do to put this fish in your tank today?" They don't really bother to tell you the whole story. 6 neons seems perfect, though they are a bad mix with the Angels. If you setup...

The musical West Side Story is a modernization of R and J. That should get you through. Remember that instead of the Montagues and Capulets it is gang based. The character Tony (white guy) was Romeo and loosely a member of the Jets. The character Maria (latina) was Juliet and her brother was a...
