My blood red parrot loves to lay eggs on all over my driftwood. They are not fertilized and eventually she always eats them however this time my texas cichlid is guarding the eggs along with her. 8O I wonder if he fertilized them?

I loved my calendar last year but I found it kind of annoying that no holidays were marked. Is there a way that this year's calendars could have the holidays posted? It's really hard for stupid folk like myself to stare at November and be at a loss as to when the heck Thanksgiving is. 8O

Cleaned my filter the other day and it looked like someone tossed a handful of spaghetti in there? Tank looks good. Fish are doing great and I've never seen spaghetti type stuff in the tank so what is it and how come there's so much of it in my cannister? :uhoh:

Anyone know any good forums where people talk about news, politics, you know just good conversation in general? I think I sometimes get carried away in this lounge when a "good" debatable topic comes up 'cause I don't get enough good adult conversation during the day. Talk radio is good but it's...

I'm looking for a famous poster that my husband wants for his office. I thought it was Mc Escher but now I'm not sure cause I couldn't find it under his name online. The poster use to be all over the place and very easy to find. I don't remember it exactly but I think there is an escalator, a...

Has anyone seen this show? Please tell me it's scripted. It absolutely has to be 'cause there is no way the girls could be as dim-witted as they come off. In a way it's more insulting then the Ms. America Pageant. Yet, disturbingly, it is entertaining. The geeks are all very smart, some are...

I have a bunch of small hermit crabs in my tank. The other day at Petco they had some brittle sea stars and I was tempted to get one. The girl working the fish told me the hermit crabs will eat the brittle star, is that true??? I didn't buy one because of what she said but I don't remember...

For christmas I got a c02 regulator and bubble counter and basically everything I need for co2 but the c02 canister which can't be shipped. Where do I buy that?

What book is the best for setting up planted tanks? Also it would be great if the same book identified and described alot of commonly available plants. It seems most of the books at my local library are old and out of date and suggest things like underground heaters. They also aren't up to date...

Hi everyone. My husband got me this light for Christmas. I couldn't find many reviews on it online. Does it look good for starting a planted tank? Anyone have it. I haven't opened it yet...I'm trying to make sure it's a good light set first. Also I got a co2 setup but I need to buy a c02...

I just read The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. It's supposed to be one of the best ghost stories ever told but I thought it really stank! It wasn't just the tedious run on sentences and 3 page long paragraphs either. It wasn't even the dreadful snotty language. The book plain old stunk every...

I recently discovered I have bristleworms, or at least one big bristleworm. It was coming out of a hole in the live rock, looked like a centipede, and apx 4 inches of it was out of the hole and the rest still in so who knows how big it is. I can't believe I am still discovering new stuff in this...

I was doing a water change in a hurry and forgot to unplug or even turn down the heater. So of course when I start refilling the tank I hear major sizzling and then crack, crack, crack, crack 8O 8O 8O I quickly unplugged the heater (too late I know) and then looked at my fish to see if they...

I have a huge aluminum patio cover that hasn't been professionally cleaned since we bought the house apx 5 yrs ago! 8O My husband has used long poles and hoses to clean off the majority of crap every fall over the years but there has always been a build up that he can't get at. This year it's...

Can I just say I hate raking leaves!!!!! Especially in the Pacific Northwest where the leaves you are raking are guaranteed to be wet!!! Good Lord! My husband won't have anything to do with it. He claims the leaves fall where God intends them to and nature will take care of itself. He also...

I just got back from picking my kids up from school. We walk since school is only a few blocks away. There is the main, extremely crowded, street that runs along side the front of the school. And then there is a not so crowded completely neighborhood residential street that runs along side the...

So I recently took all the decorations out of my 55 gallon and put in a bunch of driftwood. I also took out all the fake plants and scattered some java fern around. My husband has offered to upgrade this tank as my Christmas gifts so we can try to do a "real" planted tank the "right" way for...

I took some pics of fish at the zoo awhile back and I wanted to add them to the gallery but I want to make sure I add them in the right catagory. I'm pretty new in the whole saltwater world so could someone help me out with these guys. I'm pretty sure the one is some sort of puffer. Are the...

talk about the road to hell being paved with good intentions...... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9880566/ “It’s a predator, it’s got vicious teeth and if it bites you in the wrong place, it could kill you”........I 'll have to remember that 8O 8O

One of my feather dusters came all the way out of it's tube....left the tube behind completely. I thought it was dead but everytime I check on it the worm thing is in a different spot. Is it moving around? Is it dead and the current is just blowing it around? If it's alive can it regrow it's...

I was feeding my fish this morning and I noticed only three hatchetfish instead of four. I looked all over the tank and couldn't find him dead or alive. Then I got out the broom and slid it between the wall and the fish tank and out the poor little fella came with a tumbleweed of dog hair. I...

I bought some more cured live rock to add to my tank. And while adding the new big pieces I was doing some rearranging when all of the sudden a bazillion white hairs came out of nowhere! What is it? Will it settle down again??? It looks like someone tossed a million pieces of 2-4 inch white...

Okay so my tank has been up and running since the beginning of September and I thought I'd give you all an update. Everything is going well though I did kill one blue linkia starfish that I shouldn't have bought in the first place. He died right after a water change so I am fairly certain...

I submitted 3 photos of my severum for the aa calendar and they just showed up as new photos in the gallery by aaron. But they are identical to my pics! How can that be? What's going on?
