I dont remember reading anywhere in Karin's post that this was to be a one 
sided relationship.  Maybe she wants a romantic man because she feels like
she is doing everthing.  Maybe she thinks that a romantic man will appreciate
her being romantic than your "sex maniac".  And just because alot of guys 
post crap like "ISO horny erotic email" doesnt mean that there arent guys out
there that WOULD like; that ARE looking for a romantic relationship, so just
make sure you speak for yourself.

	1) to know that fish are LIVE animals! and if he can't make a nice

Reply-To: janet.rawlins@the-matrix.com (Janet Rawlins) 

      I'm somewhat new to the world of oscars, and need some advice
about oscar "body language".  My two oscars are now about 6 inches long
and are installed in a 55-gal. tank which they love. I have no idea
whether I have two males, two females, or a male/female pair. But one of
the oscars does a really funny trick of vibrating its tail when the
other fish is close to it. The other fish also occasionally acts mildly
aggressive toward him/her, with the result that this fish will lay over
on its side as some sort of placation.  Then later they sidle up
together again and the tail vibrating starts again. Sometimes the
dominant fish also vibrates his/her tail along with the other one.

Can anyone tell me what, if anything, this means?  Do I have a
potentially mated pair?  How does one identify sex in an oscar?
Thanks! (and just reply in here, since I don't normally check for
E-mail).

Hi.  My first entry into this area.  I have a Sebae clown.  For a year and 
a half, I've tried to keep anemones, the Pacific kind... the kind that's 
supposedly compatible with clowns.  I've had pretty poor luck.

But I have 2 condo (Atlantic, non-clown-compatible) anemones that are 
thriving.  (Maybe I have an Atlantic tank, not a Pacific <grin>).

Thing is, the clown is perfectly compatible with the condo anemones.  
Hides in 'em.  Rolls in 'em.  And when I throw in some feeder guppies, the 
clown feed the anemone.  Touching.  (Unless you're a guppy).

Perhaps I should clarify....he is very new at all this.  I'm hoping that
if I give him the proper equipment, he'll use it and learn more about
aquariums.  I know that if I don't get him more fish, then he will.
I'd rather be able to teach him the correct way to take care of fish and
ask my parents to help me enforce it than to discourage him entirely
or have him go off on his own and keep doing this.  I understand why
some people might get angry that I'm even THINKING of buying him fish,
but everyone's gotta learn sometime.

Subject: Re: Are W/D trickle filters worth it?

There are several books on the subject of W/D trickle filters. Tiel
seems to have the most scientific and upto date one,  there is another.
(I will have to check at home to see what the authors name is if anybody
is interested).

It seems that several people are skeptical, about the W/D's
performance/cost etc.  I have used one for several years and they work
very well. I think the key is to be sure that the water flow thru it is
optimized all the time. I check it daily. Another important thing is if
you have any fish in your tank (other than invertabrates etc) you
absolutly need a source of mechnical  filtration. I use a canister
filter. 

There are many tricks you can do with a W/D to increase it's efficiency.
You can pressurize it lighly to increase Disolved O2 saturation. You can
also use ozone injection (that works marvelously). In fact the W/D works
so well the only problems you will have is keeping a handle on nitrate
build up. The only way to hadle that is to change your water often,
perhaps use this stuff called X-nitrate, or use a de-nitrafication
filter (very difficult to setup and maintain).

On the subject of drip plate versus spray bar. You have to be very
careful when using a spray bar. If the spray bar stops rotating for any
reason, (and they often do) your W/D efficience will be cut in half and
if you don't catch it soon enough you could really jepordize your tank.
As far as drip plate design, you are correct in saying there is more to
it than drilling a bunch of holes in a slab of plexiglass. I believe
Tiels book gets into all that.

$10 bucks says your Oscar is messin with your Pleco. Its quite possible
the oscar gets bored(like when its not watching you) ie your not around.
The fish jumps because its getting shell shocked from always having to
be alert. The fins are frayed because of the Oscar. It is fluttering
because the open tears are picking up bacteria or parasites. Try Methanol
blue on the Pleco and get a bigger tank or a divider or separate them.

My 5 inch Pleco fins has suddenly started to turn to rusty brown

in any of the books that I own. He appears to be acting normal but
I don't have experience in diseases. All the other fish in the tank
look and behave fine.

Has anyone seen such an occurence in Plecos or other species that

	I don't know what medicine you used to kill the Ich, but it
	may have affected the snails...  some medications (meant for
	fish) harm invertebrates.  You might want to check on that.

	What kind of snails are you trying to keep?  And where did 
	you get them?  If you bought them from a local pet store,
	did you discuss their demise with the owner?  He/she may
	be able to shed some light on your problem...
