In the 2000s a neurobiologist researcher in Ireland was studying gut microbes on the brain and how they and stress affected mental and gut health. I don't want to bore everyone more with all this research but in short it was found that stress also affects gut microbes and gut microbe health can...

Why Fish In Captivity Get Sick As some people may know I have been talking about how my fish have never gotten sick in decades and I have been offered many reasons why such as I am Lucky or my tank has some mysterious creature that eats parasites, my Undergravel sucks up parasites and diseases...

I am pretty sure I have found the smoking gun on almost all fish diseases including ich, velvet, etc and why fish in captivity sometimes don't eat including why my fish and fish in many tanks "never" get sick no matter what. I am starting to write an article which may take me a few days as I...

I am putting this on my thread because I am to old to argue and I know no one will read it. Fish Health I just don't get it and I know I never will. This hobby seems so simple but many of us, for some reason make it hard. I know I am in the vast minority but there is so much fish diseases on...

I just found this by accident. It's about a small firefight in Viet Nam. I don't normally watch these clips but I saw that it was the same unit I was in, "The First Cav" and it was the same place I was at and the same time. I am surprised they had a camera man there as I never saw one. None...

I do that on Thursdays. :p

I really wish you were like 100 miles closer. The last time I went there, I had a lot of fun and the linguine and clams were excellent but it was so far that I had to change my socks and shave half way there :oops: I also still have Christie Brinkley here watching the fish with me. :tongue:

I am a Guru Geezer. :biggrin:

This hobby was much more fun in the early days because there was no internet so we actually had to use our brains for something more than texting which is the stupidest thing I can think of. My phone makes all sorts of sounds all day so I assume I am getting texts, E Mails, calls, messages or it...

These "guys" should be spawning any day now. I had one for a few years and just added another one a couple of weeks ago. Now one of them looks like this, smiles a lot and has really long eyelasyhes. :biggrin:

Whats a can? I also make stuffed calamari. :biggrin:

I made about a gallon of Manhattan Chowder for us and some neighbors and friends tonight. :cool:

I steamed them open for clam chowder, thats why they don't look fresh. I got them fully alive. Some of them were doing the macarana in the bag.

Watchmans just laid eggs again. I found them by accident.

Jamie, I have even forgotten what I remembered to forget. I am making some dynamite Manhattan Clam chowder, (My favorite) so I figure I would post a picture of one of the clams that I use. These are the same clams I feed my fish, but I am not going to save any of them for the fish today...

Paulie, this fish tank stuff is so easy and so many of us make it so hard. :)

It's about time these two just found each other. It shouldn't be long now. :)

It is very hard to do this as it is to long and it won't let me do it. :confused:

Another double post

I know, like I am sure many others here, when I was a kid we viewed all "germs" as bad. Our Mothers told us to wash everything and don't eat anything you dropped on the floor. Guess what, fish eat, not only dirt, but poop. All the gut bacteria they need is in poop. (We can't do that, or want to...
