My pleco died last week. I figured that meant that there wasn't enough algae for him and my corys to eat. Now I have 4 corys and lots algae on the rocks of my tank. I saw these fish last time I went to the store called Chinese...

oscarbartoni I would suggest getting plenty of live aquatic plants to help keep the algae under control. And you can get some otto cats that do not get too large like the Chinese Algae Eaters do and also the DAE get aggressive when they get older and do not eat much algae...

oscarbartoni You say that it is a small aquarium? How small? Mollies should be in at least a 20 gallon tank, long tanks would be best and put plenty of fine leaved true aquatic plants in for the babies to hide in and also where there will be infusoria for first food for...

oscarbartoni Multiplying 18 times 18 times 12 and dividing that sum by 231 gives a little over 16 gallons. If these are the outside dimensions then it will not hold the full 16 gallons and you also have to subtract for gravel, filter, heater etc which would leave you with...

klaudyou It good to know them...It's interesting how the names were formed...every name relates to a certain caharacteristic of the species. It's just like a puzzle to understand them and it was a great job done by the ones who named them. It's also interesting to see...

Well, for me, i am not sure. But, I can say that it can be a water dinosaur that survived the incident. They said that it is big and probably, it can be one of those dinosaur stuffs... Well, what's your comment about this...???

jenthsenth Evolution has not stopped. Natural evolution may have paused for awhile. But regardless, bacteria continue to cause at least some human evolution. Evolution will not stop as long as time continues for species.

stvasile The environment today is not stable. The planet is constantly changing and the environment suffers small or large changes. It also depends on the creature's lifespan. For an ephemeride, that only lives for a day, the environment may seem quite stable....

Rhoadan I wouldn't consider the physical limitation on the size of an infant's head to be a limitation of evolution; it's a selective pressure. You'd be surprised at how often evolution comes up with novel solutions to problems. As it is, infant heads are somewhat...

Latrivia As long as the world keeps changing, evolution will never stop. That's the whole reason we have to keep making new anti-biotics, pesticides, vaccinations, etc. Things are still evolving, even humans.

spiderlizard22 dust is particles that are made up of dead skin cells. You have to admit humans are more like apes than like god. For one humans and apes actually have a physical form and two both are mortal.

Gargoyle0134 I believe that first there were one-celled organisims and that everything evolved from them over time. And I think somehow that the cells may have come from "dust" and earth chemicals." Solves the issue for me!

Rikza1 I believe we came from apes. I'm not religious so I don't believe what the bible says, I'm realistic person, so it sounds unbeliavable that we come from dust.
