This is kind of interesting, though. I think that the extreme nature of what these people tried to do lent itself to some rather sensationalized reporting. There is actually a lot to be learned from this project, both from its successes and its failures...

Well, but what do you expect when you put Pauly Shore in the thing???

The gourami’s name is Snorri Thorfinnsson. The Badgerling has spoken.

Besides the guppies, it's great to see you in such good health. Do I assume correctly your heart conditions have improved? You look ready to run a triathlon! :cool:

It would seem realistic, in a larger vivarium, to have a self-sustaining population of insects that could sustain the frogs. The trick is finding balance, as Magnum said, as well as having enough variety to maintain good nutrition. In nature that's fairly easy, because if the animal isn't...

I don't have any pictures of cedar waxwings, but here's one I found on the internet. They aren't flashy, and sometimes they're hard to spot, but their colors are subtly beautiful, and their call is extremely cute. Chokecherries are a native cherry with a rather astringent taste. Some people...

If one thinks of a pond as a very large aquarium: I had a pond, probably around 30,000 gallons or so at a guess, that fit this criteria: It had ongoing populations of various fish. I didn't feed them; the only inputs were what nature provided: Occasional fresh water (it was fed by an...

Mrs. Badger has been seeing one of these hanging out in the hedge for days (we get quite an assortment this time of year, raiding the chokecherries, hawthorns, crab apples, and honeysuckle berries), but I hadn't spotted it. Today I was home with a monster headache, so I sat outside with...

With a large tank and thin stocking? Should be possible. I have a scarlet Badis living in my 55. They eat only live food, and I don't feed live foods. And yet, he seems to be thriving...

I’d love to see some pics of you setup and fish.

Decided to get a three spot (opaline) gourami. They aren’t native to Inle but there is an introduced population. If the lfs ever finds me a T. labiosa, which is native, I can rehome this one. But I might not! I’ve never kept this species and I kind of like it.

I’ve always wanted to try brookies but I do t have a way to keep the water cold enough. What do you feed them?

The LFS' supplier once again didn't send my fish. :(
