As a former teacher (8 years until my son was born), I will tell you what I think about this... If you took all the time out of my day that I spent teaching standardized testing, you would have half of the school day. This may not be the case everywhere, but here in Florida, the districts are...

Nina is the adorable dog in my avatar and Noah is my 2 year old son. He was born the same month that my aquarium was set up. I didn't think the name through, because now that I am pregnant my new little one will be left out!

I'm impressed that you included almond butter in your poll, but I can see that I am the only person who selected it! Almond butter = happiness

It has been a number of years since I have been, but when I went I was overwhelmed with the number of people that were there! It was just to crowded for me. The lines were 2+ hours and it was wall to wall people everywhere.

Oh Nissan I didn't know you go to Gables! I saw that story on the news yesterday and tonight. It is a horrible story. What they are reporting is that it was over a girl. The poor girl had her picture plastered all over the news. 3 young lives destroyed forever! The family of the killer is...

In a previous post, you mentioned that she was a stay at home mom. She has 2 teenage sons right? I think she may have gotten bored! She is home all day and her kids don't need her as much. Of course she didn't knowingly say "I'm bored, I think I'll have an affair," but she got a little...

Originally Posted by TODJ2002 i thought they ate copepods. They do, but I've read several articles about people who have successfully trained them to except other foods. However, none of the articles said HOW they trained them. While I am confident that I have copepods now, I'm scared that...

Okay, he is doing the hovering pecking thing, so that is good. I read on some sites to try blood worms, so that is what I am going to spot feed tonight. Does anyone have any experience training this fish to eat?

The mandarin was given to me on Saturday. My tank is 90 gallons and it is over two years old. I've seen the copepods so I know they are there, but I have a few questions.... 1. How do I know it is eating/ getting enough to eat? 2. I saw it eat brine shrimp in the LFS. I've heard of gut...

I'm sorry, what is GFO. That is a new one for me. This isn't my thread, but what happens when you are doing the water changes, use only RODI water, and the phosphates still don't come down?

Thanks everyone....I kind of figured the two wrasses wouldn't mix well. I've had the yellow wrasse for 2 years and his adult coloring is just coming into his face. I wouldn't want to do anything that might hurt him. I was hoping it would be okay, because they are beautiful fish and I am...

I've heard conflicting reports on the aggressiveness of these fish. What do you think of mixing them with... blue hippo 2 anthias 3 chromis percula clown ****yellow wrasse---this is the one I'm really worried about My tank is extremely peaceful, I don't want to rock the boat. Also, has anyone...

Originally Posted by ophiura It should be noted, that most of these stars will die in our tanks, after consuming beneficial fauna in the sand bed. In larger tanks they may survive, in smaller (under 100g) their odds become very limited. Around 12 -18 months they start disintegrating, after...

Originally Posted by ophiura No, I would actually say most of these snakes will readily feed on dead rabbits, etc once they are properly (being the active word) acclimated if you will. They are not the sort of thing that you need to fear in the neighborhood...I would be more afraid of a lot of...

I don't understand why she didn't just come to the west to buy one? I don't understand that story at all. What made that dog so special? The article never tells you!

Originally Posted by AquaKnight They're rabbit carcasses. There's a couple laying around (in pic #4 on the slideshow, the snake is on one). Please forgive my ignorance, because I know NOTHING about snakes. I thought that looked like a bunny in picture number 4, but I thought that snakes ate...

I saw this on the news tonight and immediatly thought of you guys. I had to go dig up a link so you all could see this! 400 pounds and 18 feet long!!!!! The cage didn't even have a lock! I'm speechless! http://www.wftv.com/news/20861176/detail.html

I have to say that I don't know how you do it! Being a military wife (or husband) has to be one of the toughest jobs there is. Thank you to both your husband and yourself. By the way, I'm still craving brownies!
