If you are concerned about the pl*co mating with one of your female
bettas, I can pretty much assure you that you needn't worry about
that.

mating?? no worried about the females bothering him, he seems to not like
fish around him all to much, the gourami's stay out of his way as much as
they can, I don't think my female betta's will as they are very nebby and
have to check everything out that is new in the tank, I had to take the
snail out because they kept knocking it over by hitting in to it while it
was climbing over the rocks..

Could somebody catch me up on the shorthand used these days...I'm behind the
swing of things.
For example:
IMHO...in my humble opinion
IMO......in my opinion
Pl*co....??Pleco?? for plecaustimus??
HTH???
IIRC
Thanks abunch..
PS...Going into 2nd day of the Grand Accident Experiment...all tankmate
doing well thus far....-ED

Ed - when you see a * in a word, it stands as a warning / reminder
that spelling out the complete word could bring great misfortune down
upon yourself and the fish that is asterisked. You will see this most
commonly in pl*co. Be forewarned.

As for pl*co, it's a very old net curse. Many, many years ago (back
when this newsgroup was still rec.aquaria) people noticed that if they
wrote too much about their plecos, the fish died shortly thereafter.
Soon, a smart-alec started typing pl*co in the hopes that he would be
able to discuss his fish without it keeling over. Since we all love our
plecos, the idea caught and has been a charming quirk of rec.aquaria
ever since.

Don't talk about it too much, or you'll bring Mr. Gard*n*r around with
his asterisk gun and we'll all be covered in them.
