We are living in a world with too many problems and far too
few answers.
Reading through this newsgroup I couldn't agree more.

Many millions regularly go hungry.
I know... but if I feed more my water goes cloudy.

Increasing numbers are addicted to drugs.
Maybe I could go easy on the Melafix.

More and more families are breaking up.
I wish it were different but how do I stop the parents eating their
fry?

Incest and family violence are constantly in the news.
I guess that comes with the territory of setting up breeding lines of
cichlids.

The air we breathe and the water we drink are slowly being
poisoned.
I should try to be more consistant with my water changes. Do you think
activated charcoal could help?

Meanwhile, more and more of us are victimized by crime.
Damn Petsmart!

Do you think problems like these will ever be solved?
Hard to say. It's near impossible for a small, closed aquatic system to
mimic the stability of a freshwater ecosytem.

Thanks for the post, although I'm not sure the guys in
alt.alt.atheism,alt.religion.jehovahs-witn and soc.culture.usa will
share you concerns about the perplexities of fish keeping.
