I'm so proud of you, especially for getting the bonus points!!! :-*

As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Every wife had seven sacks. Every sack had seven cats. Every cat had seven kittens. Kittens, cats, sacksm, wivesm How many were going to St. Ives. ..... bonus points if you caught the obvious movie reference!

Lol... no.... no I couldn't resist. :P They're freakishly adorable! Allicia's crawfish, Spak, was awesome with a particular personality about him. He liked to climb plants up to the tippy top until they flopped over and he ended up on his back on the bottom of the tank, still hanging onto to...

.... *giggle* Yes, but it's like any good magic trick. A simple concept that, when you really think about it, is perfectly sensible. However, it's all muddled with misdirection. Next thing you know, we're all going to be swapping "I'm Curious!" jokes. :P

Yeah, contrary to the popular belief that all isopods are parasitic and evil, there are LOADS of beneficial, scavenging isopods! A friend of mine is still trying to figure out how she can locate and set up a tank for a giant isopod. They're really neat! Generally scavengers but also...

Lol. I adore carpet anemones! Especially the green carpets! Just.... a word to the wise.... avoid the Caribbean brown carpet. I got stung on my fingers once by one, but it wasn't too bad, leaving just a bit of redness and some irritation on my knuckles where I brushed against it. Danny...

Oh, Carlo, were you among all those people on RC who bought the Box-O-Crap and ended up with old back issues of Maxim as well as Kent Botanics products and cichlid foods?

That's awesome! .... but when are we going to see sweet macro shots of the clowns and their new family?!? ;D

The longer and longer I'm in this hobby.... the more and more I believe in the concept of "less is more." So, if I were, I'd stick with those guys.... or probably remove the chromis in favor of a prettier fish that I liked better. That's just mel, and, like I said, I keep leaning towards a more...

LMAO. Nice. Although, if you asked my brother, the ever infamous Johnny Bass, I know he'd recommend "Beat the Clock" at Bar A, if they're still doing it.

Either that, or the local aquarium society (since, with being so close to NJ in Brooklyn.... but also NY, you could check either) or a club or, if you're really in dire need, a forum dedicated to aquatic predators like www.waterwolves.com I'd stick with the aquarium societies, if I were you...

Writing a letter can always help and never hurt. The worst that happens is it wastes 39-41 cents in postage, an envelope, and a piece of paper. It's a sad fact that the care of ornamental fish often falls through the cracks when it comes to the DOA inspections. The Department of Agriculture...

Aw! I feel your pain.... sort of.... See, I took my own cam to Tropiquarium to share pics with the Danny of it.... but promptly dropped it on the pavement. My camera now takes pretty all-black pictures. But I think I'd have more of a massive heart attack if my camera had gotten a saltwater...

Keeping the heniochus in a reef tank is like keeping most butterflies, or even the large angels in a reef tank. You need a really big tank packed with loads of hardy, fast growing corals to make it work, as well as keeping that butterfly super fat! But, even the more "reef-safe" butterflies are...

Oh, I'm not saying to take an LFSs advice exactly on how to take care of them, I was just pointing it out as a price to give an idea of the range you should expect to see cost wise. And, by the by, MAVL666's advice of the heniochus butterfly has always been my tried and true standby for the...

Tropiquarium had a couple last week. I'm going to be honest. I've known a bunch of people to try, and only very few to have any luck, let alone any long term success. The worst part is that all the people I've known to be able to keep them for a month or more always end up bragging about their...

I like to think of myself as an "artist," but I'm sad to admit that I'm more of a dabbler. Catch me from week to week, and it changes. Right now, I'm in chemist mode, studying nutritional values of different foods. Alton Brown's got me on this kick about the additives in so-called "fresh"...

August 4th to September 23. Come on, who can resist Dextre Tripp's Danger Theater (and I quote, "Watch some idiot do stupid tricks for your amusement!")? I'm checking out the list right now. Crystal Sticks (they do those devil sticks things) is a fun crew to hang out with. And Try Out Toys...

Alright, so, this is where I ask the terrible questions of true geek points. Who has been to DragonCon and who is going in, what is it, a week, two weeks? And (since I can't go to that this year), who will be heading up to Tuxedo for NYRF?

But... but... it's so ucky looking with just the dual daylight bulb! :P
