In a time of tough finances, there is little surprise that museums would languish financially. It is a shame since they add so much to education to history and geology. I hope they can resolve the problems.

Never heard of anything like that before. You could try Prazaquil or fenbendazole as they are very good. Flubendazole can just be added to your water as yet another option. Read and follow directions. Fenbedazole is used in dogs but works well in fish and humans. To use it, I dilute in water then ad...

Nice Picture! A Little late, Happy T-Day to you as well

Welcome back!

No power x 7 days. Losses minimal considering no power:

12 Bristlenose fry
3 Guppies
2 Silver Dollars

Came close to losing my Oscar and Disjunctivus. Added an airstone to the tank and ran it for about 4 - 6 hrs each day while generator was running. Seemed to be sufficient. The Oscar quit gasping.

As a person that fly fishes, I have never heard of "wippit" but do understand "whip it". On a fly reel from the reel out, you have "backing", "flyline", "leader", and then the "tippet". Flyline is weighted by whole number such as 5, 6, 7, 8...

I have multiple tanks and don't see it being feasible to monitor each one. However, it does seem like a good idea for a single high-value tank.

The ones I catch and stuff in my stomach and freezer are the best ones!

Great pics! Too bad they didn't make it here in the US. I would have been willing to give them a home - LOL!

I fish as much as possible and have for many years. It got to the point where a friend of mine asked me to run his fishing store while he would go on vacation or take a day off. While working, I would have a pole hanging out the back window! I have had a passion for fish and fishing as long as I can...

Not trying to hijack your thread. Just wanted to say that I have been buying from Ken's for several years and I find my fish to be happy campers with the food. I have a an Oscar that is a very fussy eater and as soon as I switched to Ken's he latched onto the food without hesitation. He also seems t...

Sorry to hear as my fish seem to have a preference for Hikari products. However, since they have a varied diet they are not stuck on a single manufacturer. For ones fish to starve to death because they didn't get their preferred food just doesn't sound right. I have a hard time believing that to be ...

A very cryptic post! Care to elaborate?

He accidentally misspelled REcalled for manufacturing error.

Came from a really dumb occurrence. I was shopping in a LFS that I did a lot of business with and I corrected what a clerk was trying to tell me. I said, "Excuse me, but this is what I understand to be the correct information. . . . ." The manager and I were good friends and one day he tol...

I completely forgot about these links, then too, I forget most things thanks to medications,LOL. I did most of my Christmas shopping from them and now feel bad that I forgot about going thru here to help this site. I will try to do better in the future. As far as another issue raised here, I am not ...

Quite a system you have there!

Considering that electricity drives our nervous system as well as the nervous system of most living things, I sort of doubt that there is any singular answer as to how we evolved. When you try to make a leap from one species to another in the evolution chain, you can find enough "evidence"...

I will have to remain pictureless. I have never been comfortable having my picture taken. Even as a kid I hated it. BTW - nice fish!

Too bad I don't live closer, I would love an opportunity to breed them.! I have a 125 (6 adult Silver Dollars) and a 150(72x24x?? empty) that would let them have a peaceful life. Shipping an adult would give a heart attack from worry about them spiking a shipping container. I wish you the best of lu...

I am using 7.01 (never noticed). Don't plan on changing browser as I subscribe to the fallible theory that "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I am not saying that FF is superior (though I think it is), I just can't handle a lot of changes. Been using FF for what seems like forever. I don't ...

You are correct about my limited knowledge in regards to proactive treatment.

In regards to my statement about kinked spines, I tried not to imply that it could be cured or repaired. To my knowledge it can't. I tried to state that diet can have a huge impact on it.

Kinked spines is not indicative of age but of illness. Poor diets and bad genes can also cause this to appear. I would make every attempt to ensure the water wasn't harboring bad bacteria and that diet was varied enough to preclude this from happening. Because it can be caused by so many different r...

Hmmm, looks like you could get some great fillets off that guy!

Currently can be found on Amazon.com for $70US in German only.

My German is no longer suitable to try to tranlsate:(

In the American retail trade, you will often find that the breakdown of a shipment is in items and pieces. Such as 10 pieces per item. It is used to indicate a sub-portion (Pieces) of a whole(Item). An inventory would read "Item number 7, consisting of 3 bags of fish, each containing 10 pieces,...

Two years ago we lost wife's mother to cancer and now we have lost her step-father to it as well. Cancer is no respecter of persons and sometimes takes the best. Currently, my younger sister is going thru treatment for it as well. Yes she has lost all her hair too. My son was diagnosed with cancer w...

OK, another vote for North America. specifically, New England - Connecticut. I have not posted in the two years I have been a member, this makes my first. I am disabled and have memory problems so remembering names is almost non-existent. It also keeps me from posting much. I will try to post more o...
