My friend will kill me, but I am doing this for him as a favor!
He lives in Indiana and he comes fully recommended!
He is studying for his Ph.D. in English at Purdue and is very bright, and quite 
good with computers!.
He is kind, gentle, and understanding, and has a lot of good qualities, but he
is kind of quiet and not one to brag about himself, so I will do so for him!
He's a vegetarian, a deep thinker, a fairly serious person, but with a dry wit!
He is very tall, 6'4", and lanky.  *I* think he is cute.  We met on the
internet and have met in person several times, but we are just different
people. We are still friends though.
He likes alternative music, camping and being outdoors, hiking, movies of all 
kinds (particularly foreign flicks), and cooking.  He is a great cook!
He is finding it hard to meet women right now, and I told him the right one
will come along eventually.  Oh, he is 33, and looking for someone with similar
interests.
Go ahead and email him, it can't hurt!  Let him tell you more about himself!
His email address is konrad@mace.cc.purdue.edu.  Go for it, ladies!

While agree that a considerable amount of the traffic here is tangential,
if not unrelated, to the 'official' topic, I think the nature of the group
is the cause of that, and not the people in it.  Get a bunch of people
together who are interested in either posting or reading personals, and
when the personals traffic dips, as it has right now, they will discuss
other (more or less relevant) things instead.
  In general people who read this group seem to be looking for company.  If
they (we) can't find it through posted personals, what is wrong with finding
it through posted articles? Personally, I spend all day in an office alone.
Every few hours I check the traffic here, and no matter what the topic
I can find something amusing to read.  Imagine trying that in talk.romance
or any talk.* group.  The traffic is simply too heavy.  If you removed every
poster and lurker from this group and started over with a completely different
set of people, I wager you'd end up with the same situation:  many people post
ads, but when the volume of ads dies down, people post commentaries.
  It is easy enough to tell from the subject lines which is which, so why
fight it?  If idle chat is not what you are looking for, post an ad or two.
Maybe some of the lurkers would just as soon e-mail with you as follow the
'chit-chat.'  As for me, I say on with the 'fluff!'  Until we have a few
more people in this office, it'll keep me from going crazy.

The teacher let all the children go home early one day, so Little Johnny decided
to visit his grandparents.  When he arrived at their home he just walked right
in, but he found his grandfather on top of his grandmother on the couch.  His
grandfather jumped up, put on his pants and covered up his grandmother.  His
grandfather then said, "Little Johnny, what are you doing here?"

Little Johnny said, "We got out of school early and I thought that I would 
visit.  What are you doing grandpa?"

His grandfather thought for a minute and said, "Well we were just playing poker, 
and you grandmother, well she's my Queen of Hearts.  Now, run on home Little
Johnny."

Johnny left.  He was a little confused, so he ran home to talk with his parents.
At home he walked in to find his fathe on top of his mother on the couch.  His 
father jumped up, put on his pants and coverd up his mother.  His father then
said, "Little Johnny what are you doing home so early?"

Little Johnny said,  "We got out of school early and I visited grandpa already,
so I came on home.  What are you doing Daddy?"

His father thought for a minute and said, "Well we were just playing poker, and
your mother, well she's my Queen of Hearts.  Now go up to your room until 
supper."

When supper arrived and Little Johnny didn't come down his mother went up to 
check on him.  She opened his room door and walked in and yelled, "LITTLE
JOHNNY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

He said, "I'm plaing poker momma."

She said, "But where's your Queen of Hearts?"

"Momma, with a hand like mine, I don't need no Queen of Hearts!"

The October Aquarium Magazine has an Article on dither.  Dither has to
do with the fact that Cichlids Can actually sense the actions of other
fihs and act accordingly.  In other words  If there are other fish that
are happy in the Tank then they will come out of hiding assumeing there
is no danger.  The article mentions the rules of Good Dither Fish as
1. Large enough not to be eaten by the Cichlids
2. Small enough not to eat the Cichlids
3. Active Swimmers
4. Not timid or Skittish
5. Schooling Species
6. Nonaggressive
7. Midwater or top dwelling species
8. Must like the same water conditions as the cichlid

The is a paragraph that mentions Discus and I will Quote it here.

"In another, similar case, I used two juvenile severums (Cichlasoma
severum) as dither for half a dozen extremely bashful discus
(Symphysodon aequifasciata) that refused to come out from behind the box
filter when anyone was in the same room as the fish tank.  Within 30
seconds after I released the severums into the aquarium, the discus
joind them in slow graceful expolration.  These fish remained companions
for several months, and the "dither severums" helped the discus tolerate
a move into a large tank as all the fish grew.  When the severums were
eventually removed the discus had grown sufficiently emboldened so as
not to require them. Mission accomplished"

Hope this Helps!  BTW The article does mention that they used 2 Angels
as dither for 4 Cichlasoma festivum.  It said that it got the Festivums
active enough that the angels later had to be removed because the
Festivums had become agressive but that they stayed that way after they
were removed

    Does that mean that DuplaPlant 24 is better? Not really; it's

We add 3 drops per day to our 55g tank to maintain 0.1 ppm.

The real tiger barbs (Barbus tetrazona) are silver-yellow/black/red.  
B. pentazona, with 5 primary stripes, a bit elongated and with less red in
the fins can ideed look orangish/black.

Other orange/black fish I find leafing through a handy fish book:
"Coolie loach" relations Acanthophthalmus robigonosus and A. semicinctus
Clown loaches
Leporinus fasciatus
Epiplatys annulatus
Bumblebee gobies

	I'm interested in building some custom aquariums for my house

	I'm interested in the computations/rules of thumb that are used
	to determine the required glass thickness as well as glue joint
	strength to determine if additional support is required.

	Other information concerning traps, pitfals, construction
	techniques, waterproofing techniques, etc. would be appreciated.

	I envision using glass for the front with plexi back and sides.
	Wood would be used for the outer frame - if for nothing else but looks.

	I am aware that ASTM and similar guides are available but I don't

	I am not seeking "everything you know in one response" - instead I

I tried changing the water, cleaning the gravel and everything else

i going about this the wrong way?  Is there anything else i could 
do?  What about chemical algae killers?

Well I got suckered into them a while back.  I purchased some at a local

replacing the dead ones, untill I gave up.  The longest any lasted was about
5 weeks with no visable loss in the (color) even after they died.:

From time to time, I discover one of my fish so distressed that I know
that it will not survive the night. I have researched the issue how
best one should help a fish shuffle off this mortal coil and would like
to solicit the advice of this Assembled Multitude. So far, I've
found two contrasting methods:

        1. Cut off the fish's head. Quick death, I'm sure but
           very stressful for both me and the fish.

        2. Place the poor critter on ice in a sealed container and place
           that in the freezer. Apparently the fish will lose it fairly
           peacefully.

There are parties that insist that fish aren't wired for pain and I can
just let them die. That may be morally satisfying but I'd still rather
hurry the process painlessly along for my own peace of mind.

I asked the local "fish guy" the same question about the painted

fish?  It has a bright, almost neon colored stripe running down
his back, and the rest of his body is pretty clear?

He said they are injected.  He also said this was a way for 
the people in the country where these fish are caught, to make
money.

In a book I have, they have a The Glass fish,and it looks just like
this fish exceot it has not colorful stripe.  I wonder if this
