Subject: Info Request: Oscars
Organization: Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, Inc.
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 92 19:19:00 GMT

  Info needed: 2 female Oscars - need male (prefer trade), and
looking for breeding info, or general care info...

  I have two Oscars, approximately 10" (tip of mouth to tip of tail).
They share a 55-gal tank with a 5" Firemouth and two Pleco's.
Yesterday when I went to feed them I found white eggs all over their
flat black rocks. I called a pet store and found out hat if they are
all white they are not fertilized. I had already suspected that I have
2 female Oscars. I also learned another tip in telling the females
and males apart, visualize an imaginary line from the eye to the spot on
at the tail and the more color (orange/red) above that line means it's
a male. Well both of mine have little or no color above that line so
I assume they are female. (Both of my oscars have a short `tube' also,
as apposed to the slimmer longer male `tube', so I've been told).
Funny thing about the color thing is I had been blaming the firemouth
for the oscar's lack of color on their upper body since he used to
have a nasty habit of picking the oscar's scales off.

  If I am able to get a male oscar, mature enough to breed, here's the
general idea for "introductions": I have a partition I use whenever one
of the fish is getting harrassed more than normal (gives it it's own
space to recup. without the stress of moving to another tank). I figure
I could put the male in one end of the tank, partitioned off from the
female for a few days then take out the part. and see how it goes.
(The firemouth would temporarily move into one of two 10-gals?)

  The females already have their flat rocks and obviously know what
they are there for. (BTW, I was pleasantly suprised to find that although
only one female had laid the eggs, both were taking turns watching over
them and 'fanning' them for aeration).

  All comments, suggestions, ideas would be appreciated|
  Thanks in advance....   Tamara

 where some guy went and turned half of his swimming pool into an
 aqurium? Said he occasionally swims with them, only not when they're
 spawning| Interesting|)

Friend just bought herself a new Guinea Pig and has a couple of questions that
were not answered by the little booklet she purchased at the same time.

The pig is relatively young.  He was in a cage with a couple of older pigs
but is by itself now.  It has been given a box to hide inside in the cage.
It seems to make noise when left alone at times.  Any way to interpret the
noise?  Lonely?  Afraid?  Something else?

When taken out of the cage and let run around on the  couch or the floor it
will make a bit of noise when in the open.  In addition it will hop straight
up perhaps an inch or two and shakes it's head now and then when making noise.
Again, any interpretation?

Please reply by email if possible

Thanks

Thanks to all those who responded to my request for info on
invisible fencing.  About half of those I talked to said the system
worked great and they had no problems with it, although everyone
pointed out the need to train the animal in the use of the system so
they would know where the boundaries are.  The other half reported
problems, such as a dog bounding past the wire, taking the shock, and
getting out.  Some also pointed out that other dogs can get in, but 
your dog, being equipped with the collar, is more or less trapped
in the fenced in area.  Also these systems are expensive, costing
up to $1000 or more depending on how big an area is protected.

            +---------------------------------------+

September is the month when K12net considers new candidates to
moderate each of its non-Channel echoes. While our sysops provide an
effective yet amazingly inexpensive delivery system, it takes
skillfull, imaginative and energetic moderators to stimulate and
guide the creation of applicable curricular content in our echoes.
Do you have the "stuff" that it takes to be a good moderator?

K12net moderators assume a responsibility to assert a skillful and
continuous managerial *and* editorial presence in their echoes to
stimulate the posting of lively and appropriate conversation and
information of a curricular nature by and for our worldwide K-12
community.

Moderators are appointed by the K12net Council of Coordinators,
usually through the Moderator Coordinator, (currently Jack Crawford)
for a term of one year expiring at the end of September. This term
may be renewable. There may be more than one moderator in the larger
echoes.

If you would like to be considered for appointment as a moderator,
please send a "resume" to Jack Crawford at 1:260/620 by Sept 21st
with the following information:

1. Provide a "topic sentence" (not more than 25 words) which
   describes the curicular and/or professional educator focus you
   propose to give the echo. Also include your ideas on any specific
   projects you would like to implement in the echo.
2. Briefly describe your background and professional qualifications
   in the echoe's topic area.
3. Describe your experience with international telecommunications-
   based conferencing and collaboration.
4. Describe the extent of your commitment to "assert a continuous
   managerial and editorial presence" in the echo.
5. Current moderators should indicate their desire to be reappointed
   and, in particular, address items 1 and 4 above.

IMPORTANT: Please limit the size of your "resume" to about 300 words!

G'day Andrew,
Just in case you are interested in using foreign material and authors, I
am a feral science teacher at the Australian Museum, a museum of natural
history and cultural heritage.
From our perspective, we can offer a whole series of fresh examples
previously unseen in your hemisphere, which still "fit the pattern",
showing the universal nature of the basic principles.
I broadcast about science on our national radio network (I even
get heard in Houston Texas, courtesy of shortwave!), and I have written
around a dozen books for the secondary science/ biology/ envt markets
here. One of these, on basic environmental measurement methods would
probably translate fairly well into your culture: while we understand
American idiom (thanks to TV), we don't always choose to speak it.
You can get me here or you can fax to Australia, 61-2-339-8295 (or
possibly you will need to use 61-02-339-8295, but most countries have to
drop the zero in the area code).  I also have several literate
colleagues who could be interested -- if they are, I'll get back to you.
Peter Macinnis.

Dear Nate,
thank your very much for your letter. My views on Holography from the point of view of function and significance are best articulated in Umberto Eco "Travels in Hyperreality" ( I think the section relevant is in the early chapters ). 

In regards to the Astronomy Course I would like to produce the course on FidoNet. It would be too expensive to go on line here at the BBS. More about that during the coming days.
