I love my fishies, but not so much that I want to get to know their wastes intimately!

I don't take offense, but I do soak my carpet with frequency (damm that hose, it's alive!!!) and busting butt on the floor??? I think I have permanent bruises!!
However, I did figure out pretty fast how to get the siphon going without havng to suck fish waste (the TB thing freaked me out!!!) :duh: Stupid is as stupid does.
ACK! What TB thing?? I am a severe hypochondriac, in fact, I have blocked webMD on my computer. I was fully convinced that I had malaria a few years back...having never left the lovely East Coast.
oh, honey, you don't want to know, in that case. it freaked me out and i'm a fish scientist.WrittenLyric said:
I hope, for your sake, that you're only half kidding about the hypochondriac thing and that it's not really a problem
Your story about blocking WebMD and malaria are cute, though.
I'm mostly kidding (per usual). But I did consider malaria, even if it was merely a "get off of work for a day" thought. When I was in college I think my entire class contracted whatever debilitating disease we learned about though. "Headache? Fatigue? Irritability?" YES! Yes I have whatever it is you're selling!
But seriously, back to this TB thing...
But seriously, back to this TB thing...
hrm... i *almost* never get water in my mouth, and i have a ~4gallon bucket.... so i don usually spill the water either... (so i get to point and laugh :joke: )
but on the subject of tubes and such... can anyone explain to my why a python costs around $40-50 !? or a regular gravel vac costs $20-30 ?!

back to the subject I use a python while I was empting one of my pipes came loose and I went to change the foucet to fill and had about 1/2 a kitchen full rugs were wet with nasty waste water. learn on I guess.

OK, if you must know, two recent threads that discuss fish diseases (or other things living in the aquarium) that are transmittable to humans:

It bums me out because I ALWAYS have my arms in my tanks. I've tried the shoulder-high gloves but don't like the lack of dexterity. And, like I said in the first thread, I almost always have some kind of cut or scrape on me
You'll hear about me soon as the only human to contract ich...

you can actually build your own gravel vac for about $5 and a python for 10-25 dollars. Its probabally because they have to pay about 10 people before it hits the stores.Lobo. said:
yeah, I much prefer the Python, too, over the wild siphon tubes. But that is not without mess, either, as akapaul said.
