    Some individuals are to a degree. The "minimalist" movement as of more recently. But that's far from the answer. Well at this level of involvement, if many many more were involved then it would be something. At least at this point it hasn't scratched the surface of the issue. But it's something...

    Too bad we couldn't act more like ants. I have a carpenter ant colony just starting out. My hope is to set them up where they can farm aphids. Ants tend to live in symbiosis with their environment. But are socially far more similar to people then I think most realise. Obviously not exactly many...

We are a virus spreading across the earth destroying everything we touch. not a quote different words same message lol. But if I...

    Love the passion Colin. And no trouble just conversation lol. Those are all great points. Yes what people are capable is unimaginable. Some of the worst experiments ever done on an animal were human on human experiments. So does that mean its potentially less accepted based on specie's? I know...

    Hmm understood. And yes grizzlies and polar bear are supposed to get closely related. Also did know they were still figuring things out with cory's, didn't know there were 9 different species being called corydoras. So corydoras are dieing off? Not something I was aware of either. Are there any...

    Hybridization, probably have some blood boiling already. Not exactly the point of the post. I'm only curious because some of my personal favorite fish are hybrid. Valentina synodontis (still argued if it's a hybrid or not) and flowerhorn cichlids are some of my favorite fish. Those seem to be...

    Filters,heaters,air and other fish myths.

    And that is a great way to do things. I completely respect thats the way you do it. To me this is one of the things that make any animal keeping tricky and controversial. We will probably always as people debate rather keeping a lion in a cage is humane. Same for the aquarium. Also the specific...

    First tank back

    Lol. Well thank you. It almost doesn't feel like having a tank. 30gal was the smallest I used to have when I was big into fish. Used a 30 as a QT tank because I had several big fish. This tanks stocking list has just recently changed a little. We had three female bettas. One was older and we...

    Filters,heaters,air and other fish myths.

    I hear you Colin. I respect your obviously knowledge and totally understand questioning if the fish have been in that system for two years. But doesn't the immediate response that came from that video seem a bit strong for an assumption? He may have implied that to some. I didn't take take it...

    Filters,heaters,air and other fish myths.

    That's great Byron. But I have raised and actually spawned a pair. Unfortunately I lost the fry and didn't have much success getting them to do it again. What they don't mention in that information is they won't spawn for at least 2-3 years. Females seem to take longer to become sexually mature...

    Filters,heaters,air and other fish myths.

    I agree and I did try to apologise for my response. I did take things a bit personal. And that's on me, my bad. I was feeling as if people were disagreeing with certain things just to simply disagree. Was incredibly frustrating and I responded in a way I'm not entirely proud of. I stand by the...

    Filters,heaters,air and other fish myths.

    Ok. Did he say those fish have been in it since the begining? He sells juvi rainbow fish. If you are any successful you are hopefully moving stock if your selling anything. Not only possible those fish are passing through but probable over the span of a couple years. Again at least in my...
