i also be careful with the freshones at least because in many places they are illegal. growing like weeds is an understatement. more like a pandemic is more like it. we spent a week studying the impact non native bivalves have on american ecosystems and how far across the country they have spread.

we had them in my high school class. the teacher bought six, dumped them in her tank in the class room. although it had no heater, just a small sponge filter. it was just a thing of salt water and sand that sat there for 6 months. they lasted the entire semester from what i remember.

only worry about them being predatory when it looks big enough to take down a snail. But really most are scavengers. They are really col creatures and good for keeping tank clean. Nothing wrong with them. Personally i think they are really cool.

i had 3 jewels in there before and a bala shark. but they ate the shark and i wasnt sure if they were kept in too small a tank. i wanted to besure i didnt make a stocking mistake. thanks for the advice.

ahh! don't tempt me! i must keep money aside for rent! arrg. mabye if i can find a job in san marcos

I have i think its about 30 gal. Its 12 tall, 18 deep and 36or so long. i know its pretty shallow but it does have some depth and length. Is that in yall opinion suitable for some cichlids? I'm looking to set up a tank now that im back in the usa (and finally have my own place!!). I was looking at cichlids because they are (in my experience) hard to kill and ,most importantly, can be seen from across the room. I would love to set it up for some seahorses again but i just dont have the money or time to deal with salt water. i should probably specify cichlids. I was directing that toward africans, such as jewel cichlids. If such fish won't work i am open to suggestions.

I can not tell you how much I appriciate your comments. And I really appriciate your playing with the photos. It means a lot to me that you would not only read but attempt to help a stranger. The only thing I can say for most of those actions shots is that with the equipment I was working with that WAS the highest shutterspeed available he he... But all the same THANK YOU!!!

I have not been here for a while. However I do remember many of the members are interested if not professional Photographers. I have just made my first attempt at a portfolio. I personally doubt my skill however under the encouragement of my GF I posted this anyway. Please any review and advice, comment, critism would be greatly appriciated. http://picasaweb.google.com/sweetseahorse/Portfolio# I am still trying to work on uploading these photos to DeviantART. However this Chinese Firewall is Difficult to deal with. Thank you in advance to anyone who reviews and especially to anyone who comments.

long time no post yall. anyone ever kept bamboo sharks? i have no intention of keeping one anytime in the immediate future but research always takes time. I see a lot of things that always seem to condradict the other pertaining to sharks in the home. On some places i see mostly a 150 will be fine from reports of people who have kept them while out on monsterfishforum i see 600 gal minimum. i see them sold often enough, is it just one of the critters that has no business being in a LFS? Or can they be kept at home with proper planning?

I am very sorry to hear that. I really am sorry you have no pride in your country or home. It amazes me honestly. 4th of july is when we celebrate our independence from england, when the ideals of farmers overthrew the most powerful military power of the time. We celebrate our group mentality as a nation that we are free to live, love and be. You have a problem with Bush? Ok so our free nation is going to get rid of him. Heck in San Francisco a group is going to rename a sewage plant after him in his honor. You think other countries could get away with that? No OUR FREE NATION gives us that right to ridicule our president to no end! That is what it means to be free. That is reason to celebrate. Our privledges that is second to none is why americans were the first to fly a self powered airplane in the carolinas, the first to revolutionize personal trasportation from ford. Our flags are made in China? Many of thier crops are grown here... Consumer whores... I am sorry you feel that way. I dont know what to tell you. We have money and people like to shop. I am sorry our country has been so prosperous that our citizens have extra money to spend and free time to enjoy hobbies not required to live like golf or keeping fish... Yes it is horrible that our country has been wealthy and prosperous. Being a world leader in technological advances is horrible for our people. I am proud I live in America. I am proud that I can go to school and one semester study biology and the next study history. My friends in China do not have that opportunity. They can not study abroad. I have already studied 2x abroad because I have had opportunities to, by winning scholarships to study in Japan and France. Sure we have problems but the fact that we CAN do something about our political or social issues is why we celebrate the 4th. That we have the OPPORTUNITY and RIGHT to change the way we think, act, vote, believe and behave... I love this Country and Proud to be American.

I am Proud to be American because of all the opportunities I have had and been able to take advantage of. Here is a land where anything is possible!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! What makes YOU proud to be AMERICAN? Share with everyone as we all celebrate this wonderful day!
