Yep. He's adopted you all right.

Wasn't it you that was talking about discus when you first got the tank?
Hannibal needs to work on his discus impression. ;-)

Hannibal:
247-183 B.C. SON OF HAMILCAR BARCA Carthaginian general; crossed Alps
(218) on elephants from Spain into Italy in Second Punic War (218-201)

Show me a discus that ever crossed the Alps on elephants.

do something to keep the water good on both sides of the divider.

Yep...drill 1537 holes...that'll do 'her!!

How did you arrive at the number 1537? Just wondering.


From the last divider I made..=).......-ED (lol)

Yeah, all right. I'll give you two points for that one. I'm in a
better mood now, the Red Sox are beating the Yank**s.

My oscar days are well behind me. As well as the blue eyed pl*co days.
I will not buy an oscar. I will not buy an oscar. I will not . . .

I asked him about that....he just got a brilliant color about him and
asked when was supper ready.....

snip

Hannibal is an excellent name. Interesting colour pattern. Same on both
sides?

Yeah...It's like I said before...a bittersweet turn of fate. The lady that
brought him over thought it was a 'goldfish'. Well, yeah..it's a goldfish,
alright!! I like the oscars, they just weren't in the formula I laid out
for this tank's design. Truth be known..I'm seriously bummed about having
to sweat the issues of who stays and who goes. I'm too old for this. My
neighbor came over when I called him about the adoption..he fell to the
floor with envy. It truely is a stout speciman...and his colours are like a
rembrandt impression. My neighbor can't take him off my hands..he runs a 55
gal com tank chunk full of fish...countless live-bearers..a pair of breeding
silver
angels...mollies..guppies...swords..bettas...shark s..cories..tetras...all in
one tank...I call it the viagra commune tank. He is totally reckless with
its maintenance...He just wants to look at fish..not interested in the
husbandry end of fish-keeping. But..he did manage to have a pair of angels
spawn in there...go figure? What are the odds that this lone oscar will get
along with the other tankmates?...too broad a question. I call this the
grand accident experiment.
Take care......-ED


Still playing with 2 newsreaders, eh? ;~)

I think if you research the Red Oscar, this is what you might have, so the
sides might darken to a deeper orange. An Oscar is quite a bit more
commitment than you were probably planning, seeing as how they are so long
lived and personable. Sometimes my tank stocking strategies go according to
fate too. You can only plan so much ;~).

You got that right!...Strange Fate..Stranger Fortune. The Outlook
(express) has features that I like, and better features that are
absent. I like its janitorial ease of use. I'm trying to gain ground
with Thunderbird since my spam is on the rise now. And Opera's really
nice, save the fact that I haven't found the lower limit of headers I
want downloaded from the server.

I've been looking at the Red's data here and there...but Net, this thing
has the color of old gold on a canvas...dingy isn't the word...just
...hell...I'll get a camera one of these days. It's 10:21 CST here,
still have all the inmates :-\ ...
I won't mind him...I'm just forced into a position of getting him a
proper home built...money's the issue in my domain. I could always go
pick up a small tank for the danios...sure would be easier on the
wallet..I've got around $500.00 in this tank as it stands now...I'm back
on bologna and crackers..but boy, DO I HAVE A TANK...way. way easy on
the eye. I've thought about putting a skirt on it and taking out to dinner.

some one told me yesterday that blue Oscars are injected with dye, I did not

common?
Ed, i know you been changing back and forth with the newsreaders, i wanted
to tell you i notice sometimes you post in green or a different font, i
think for some people it makes it hard to read, someone said that to me
once, you might want to check.

Should I abandon the posting sent in HTML and send them plain text?....I
notice that Thunderbird will ask me which format I wish to send..I select
HTML to include former postings where the author included the
emoticons(happy face things)...I was happy with Outlook Express and I'll
stick with it...I'll just cancel its mail account so I can let Thunderbird
handle the junk mail. Thanks for pointing that out for me, really!!...-ED

The newsgroups is the only place where I set my fonts for plain text.
Not sure if it's the newsreaders or the news readers, but there are
some plain text holdouts here in this group, I believe, and I don't
wish to be misunderstood.
