Scott,

The cheapest way to do it would be to go to the Wal-mart or K-mart and
pick up a monster tube of GE silicone.  It says that it is safe for
aquariums, and best of all, the monster tube only costs about $2.50
compared to a little tube of special aquarium sealant for 4 or 5.  The
only thing is that you need a caulk gun, but you can probably buy one
for about $2 if you don't know someone who has one.

Since I just re-posted a lengthy blurb on guppy/sword-tail births,
I figured it is only fait I also try to help out when it comes to raising
the fry. :-)

A strong powerfilter will definately "suck" up newly born fry. Adult also
tend to munch on their offsprings, so separating them for the time being
is definately wise. I often let fry grow up only with an airstone bubling
(attached to a small air pump).  Of course this means that the water needs
to be changed a lot more frequently (at LEAST twice a week). I also skip
the gravel (my old breeder tank has a slate bottom, so it still looks fine
:-) -- eases the cleaning processes considerably.

>what kind of food do I need to get for the babies?

I've been very successful raising mine on mine finely cruched ("powdered")
flakes (usually grind them with the back of a knife-handle). They will
quickly grow to a size that loves muching on newly hatched brine scrimp,
but will happily grow up on flakes and disolve scrimp pellets, should keeping
on hatching the former become a pain..

Not I my experience.

Well, I'm sure other people will disagree with me, but here's my opinion
(having had both fish, and having brought back the flying fox to the
store).
Given the size of your tank, don't even think about getting a fox!
Although they  might look small and cute (?) in the pet shop, they grow
fast... and big (mine was 5 inches when I gave him up).  In addition,
they are obnoxious, fast swimmers and pester the other fish.  And oh yes,
they eat algae too.

Even for your choice of pl*co, you will have to take their adult size
into account: make sure you get one that will stay small!!  This said,
they grow very slowly, are very hardy and do a great job eating algae of
rocks and driftwood (and to a lesser degree the glass).  Any pl*co will
feel much more comfortable if you provide him/her with places to hide
(favorite spot: hanging at the back of a piece of driftwood).  In fact, I
would strongly recommend getting a (little) piece of driftwood, because
pl*cos also seem to need to eat some wood to really thrive.  Only known
disadvantage: sometimes hard to find in your tank...

Subject: [F] Straw as Algacide
Date: 22 Jan 93 17:53:43 GMT
Organization: Tandem Telecommunications Systems Inc. Plano, Tx.

Wednesday night I was watching the Discover Channel (TDC) on the tube. It
was one of thier new science shows and the host talked about algae and
the problems it was causing farmer's ponds and canals in England. Anyway
he said they had discovered that when straw (hay?) fell into the water
with the algae the algae started to die. It seems that that the rotting
process of straw releases a natural algacide! They also stated that it
did not harm the fish in the ponds and canals and that it did not harm
high plant life.

Did anyone else catch this?

Has anyone tried it?

I would think it might be better to try it in a outdoor pond instead
of an aquarium.  

I don't what the rotting straw would do the clarity of the water though.

Any comments or ideas?

Maybe a new product will come of this that will get rid of algae and
not harm the rest of the tanks occupants.

The difference between drug pushers and real businessmen is that pretty
much once drug pushers get a customer addicted, they can pretty much
do whatever they want. They can and do bump up their prices to obscene
amounts for the addicts, and basically they own the addicts soul. In
my opinion, anyone who does this for a living is pretty low on the life
form spectrum, and the idea that they can be defended as being 
'business people' is ridiculous.

obnude - We had a theatre production here sponsered by some society for
nudity on the stage. Seems they offered theatre majors $20 and a 6-pack
if they would appear on stage in the nude. About five people did it, one
girl, but they had problems with assholes taking pictures.

Your question comes up (no pun) every so often (no pun) here on

This is a common question among newcomers to nudist activities.  In
practice, it is nothing to worry about.  What usually happens is
something like this:  You get an erection, somebody notices, points at
you and yells, "Hey, look at the hard-on on that guy" or, "Look at that
guy trying to hide his hard-on". Then everyone gathers around, pointing
and laughing.  If you try to run away, they all follow you.  People
start taking pictures.  Eventually, some mesomorph/homophobe thinks he
catches you looking at his girlfriend/self and beats the hell out of
you.  After this happens two or three times, you get conditioned to
always go limp when you see a naked body.

No problem.

Various things that others have already mentioned.  It's seldom a problem
since even nude, one almost always carries *some* belongings.  (lunch, towel,
clothes, whatever.)  If I want to travel light, I either lock my valuables
in my car or room and take the key or hide it somewhere nearby.

I don't mind wearing a day pack while (otherwise) nude.  I've worn a belt
pack (fanny pack) while nude, but if that is all I'm taking with me I'd
rather just carry it. (Carry the belt pack that is.)  I've also got a
"beach-safe" (courtesy of Digital Computers) that can be used to hold
money and stuff.  I use it on occasion, but I don't like having it swinging
from my neck, and my keys don't fit in it.

To be honest though, I've run into the same problems even without being nude.
A lot of shorts don't have much in the way of pockets, so you have a
similar problem. (Though in this case I'll probably wear the belt pack
instead of carrying it.)

I don't worry as much, but I'd rather err on the side of caution.  I would
*not* leave valuables unattended on Wreck Beach for any length of time..
unless they were *well* hidden.  There are simply too many people around.
A decade ago this would not have been a problem, but things change.

I haven't done any nude backpacking, but I have backpacked without a shirt.
I don't find that it makes much difference.  My backpack is more comfortable 
than my day pack in that regard. (Most regards, actually)  My preference
though is for a cotton shirt with buttons---having to take off your pack
to take off or put on a shirt is a bit of a pain.

My SO and I just saw the first episode of "Prime Suspect", a repeat of a 
British crime serial on PBS. It has a scene where a woman, angry that the 
police are keeping her husband under surveillance, flashes open her blouse
at the watchers she knows are across the street. What you actually see is a
sort of "twitch"--she holds the garment, her hands move slightly, the camera 
cuts to the guy watching, who tells his partner what he just saw. It's odd,
because the British shows have had this kind of thing for years and nobody
complains much. Did the original producers leave the scene out, or did the
local puritans snip it here?

No, I don't watch PBS just to watch this stuff come around. Really.

 I don't think the original poster is serious, but just in case.
 
 No, this is not a real problem at nude beaches. The 'problem' you
mention goes away after 5 or 10 minutes. There is nothing automatic
about the way the body functions with the exception of the heart,
lungs, and nervous system (I'm no expert, there may be others?). 
Other functions ARE under the control of the body owner's mind! It is
a matter of conditioning. Read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
posted to the newsgroup every month, for more enlightenment about this
misunderstood issue.
