Jesus wept. What did you do–blow somebody to get where you are? You’re supposed to be in charge, and yet you don’t even know that fancy goldfish are not tropical fish. They’re exactly the same damned species as the most common feeder, they just have such horribly misshapen bodies that their intestinal workings are squished up into a spot nature never intended, so they benefit from slightly warmer water to increase their metabolic rate and help keep them from having problems with SBD and constipation. That doesn’t make them tropical, it makes them deformed coldwater fish. Oh, and dumbass, ich is not ubiquitous, and it certainly isn’t in chlorinated tap water, even after it’s dechlorinated. Without fish for a period of a few days, ich dies because it’s a parasite, and the whole fucking point of being a parasite is…to live off a host. No host, dead parasite. In chlorine, ich dies. If fish get ich, it came from somewhere, and that somewhere was other affected fish, or contact with water/equipment that had been in recent contact with affected fish. Bacteria are ubiquitous and so are fungal spores–indeed, the air is fair floating with them–but ich is not. Neither is velvet, nor is any other fish parasite. If you’d earned your position fairly, you’d know this. Now, turn him loose, get up off your knees and go learn something useful.

Oh…fan mail! I took out the watermark because the horrid green bothered me and I didn’t care whence it came, just thought it was cool. (If I forget that I did this…clicking the small image goes to the full size.)

P.S. Very rarely does one find much intelligence on social networking sites, but once in a while…

Red = Completely clueless republican politicians who agree or disagree with any concept, idea, or proposed legislation that could actually make our nation better for everybody – based solely where their political diametric opposition find themselves.

White = Completely clueless democrat politicians who agree or disagree with any concept, idea, or proposed legislation that could actually make our nation better for everybody – based solely where their political diametric opposition find themselves.

Stars = The amount of states who want them to get their god-damned heads out of their asses, quit bickering like little girls, and actually represent us with the intention of actually making us a better nation – NOT filling their greedy little pockets and increasing their power over us while slowly taking away our general rights and liberties.

Blue = Sadly, a rapidly increasing amount of Americans who, themselves, don’t give a rats ass hair any longer because they are sick and tired of the colors Red and White.
