Strange, you were far more insulting to me, than I was - pot, kettle, black. Anyhow. I find the posts of little interest, boring, and generally not at all of relevence to most fish-keepers. --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: Fox and Dragon Inn - Warm Fire, Hearty Helpings (1:340/44) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 229 AQUARIUMS Ref: EGF00001 Date: 12/09/97 From: PHIL DESROSIERS Time: 12:11am \/To: PATRICK HAUGHIAN (Read 1 times) Subj: Sick gold fish, white dots over body. > The ick comes from cold water, try raising the temp!

Isn't water tested by your water companies? Here in the U.K. we have the right to one FREE water test per annum from our water company. Lucky eh? :) They have to perform a full analyses of the water samples collected from all sites on the property. It really is comprehensive. Failing this, is there a shortage of test kits, so you can perform your own tests? What are the standards there? Aren't you curious? John. * RM 1.31 0443 * ...

Hello Patrick! Friday December 05 1997 10:17, Patrick Haughian wrote to Phil Desrosiers: PH> The ick comes from cold water, try raising the temp! I've read more than a few books on fish, and not one has ever indicated this. INvariably, they indicate that ick is a parasite, that can be dormant for quite some time, and usually develops and travels to other fish when/if the fish carrying it is stressed.

LIkewise- I always have a quick read of them, and they are quite informative. While I don't keep native fishes, it's certainly something I'll keep in the back of my mind should the opportunity present itself. Apart from that, this is an echo for discussion of aquaria and fishkeeping, and I think the keeping of native fish fits into that topic perfectly.

It's obvious you don't like what he has to post. People are different, they don't have to appreciate everything that other people do. Fido, and BBSs, have a very simple fix to this, it's called the ext key, or even filters. A far better approach than flaming someone. Maybe in the future that may be a solution for you.

Hello Vern, For your reference I am quoting the charter for the AQUARIUM echo from ELIST711 below. After you review it I think you will agree that Rober Rice's posts are within the scope of this echo. Might I suggest that if you feal so strongly about Mr. Rice stopping his posts you direct your comments to the echo moderator via netmail. For what it is worth, I enjoy many of the NANFE posts. Perhaps Mr. Rice can identify the post and NANFE in the subject line and that way you can easily skip them and not be "bothered". Jim EList copy follows: AQUARIUM Fishkeeping, fresh and marine tanks For all aspects of keeping fish and other aquatic animals, in either Fresh water or marine tanks, small to large. Topics range from aid in new tank installations to aid for the experienced aquarist.
