Right now I have a couple of self cloning crawfish which means that there are no males of this species. They have self fertilized eggs that are miniature of themselves when they hatch. I have has other interesting fish including fish that laid their eggs out of water and the male would stay nearby so splash water on them to keep them from drying out.

I take a shower every day except when on the pow wow trail. Then I use "wipes" to clean myself. I make sure to shower soon after I get home from the ow wow though.

My pets are my fish and they are real pets. I take care of them well enough that they breed for me and I do not have the wherewithal to provide enough aquariums for all of them so I wind up selling or trading some of the babies for other fish or supplies. If I had a dog, cat or other pet like that and I was not able to take care of him/her, I would certainly find a new home even if the persons...

Before you get any jellyfish (or any other fish for that matter) you should do research to make sure of what is needed to keep them alive. Jellyfish are not that easy to keep alive and they should not be kept with other fish that you do not want for food for the jelly fish or the jellyfish food for the other fish.

The most dangerous creature on this Earth is Humans. There are a lot more humans on land than in the seas so your chance of getting killed on land by another human (either accidentally or on purpose) is a lot greater than by any animals living in the ocean. This is not to mention many other land living animals.

5 days ago
There are several kinds of aquarium snails and most of them do not eat healthy plants but rather will eat dead and dying plants. The trumpet snails act like earthworms in that they will burrow into the gravel and eat uneaten food and by doing so will aerate the gravel keeping it from becoming anaerobic.

It takes time to change people minds about what is socially acceptable such as in the United States of America, it was socially acceptable to own slaves and also it was acceptable to kill native Americans just because they were native Americans. It is no longer acceptable to do either. Now it is gaining acceptance to have same sew marriages. so if there are enough people willing to work to chan...

A lot of shark attacks occur in less than 4 foot deep.

Same as you go prepared to go into the woods or anywhere else and know the types of animals that you might encounter. But I still say that you have to watch othe...
