My mom and grandmother owned a tropical pet store back when I was a kid, and for the longest time we had an aquarium if not two or three in the house. Actually my earliest memory I have was back when I was one or two and looking out of my crib at the small aquarium on the other side of the nursery. I remember the fish were vertically striped white and black. Later on I asked to have some ropefish, which they did. I love fish and the ocean. I like sharks, though definitely have a healthy amount of respect for them.

lol the turtle likes to play it cool, she's not chasing those little fish around just acts like theyre no big deal, in fact makes friends with them till one day once they think it's all cool SNAP!
little fiddler crabs and snails once I put a chiclid that was a little to big for her in and she just ate his fins off and left him wobbling around the tank.

White and black striped sounds like a Convict, I had them, one started breeding and killed ALL of my other fish, and a Yabbie (Crayfish). I had African Cichlid's, American Cichlid's, a 65CM Bala shark and 20cm Silver Dollars. Only the Bala and Silver dollars survived...

From what I can remember they were in a tank themselves, but this is something from when I was one or two so I only remember them and not much else. I guess since they visually stick out so much.

I got a pair of $25 (on sale) bookshelf speakers, replaced the cheap blocking caps with some audio grade poly stuff and totally smoothed out the slightly harsh tweeters. They sound great, they were good before but listening to them you'd NEVER think they cost $25. They almost sound as good as my M-Audio monitors but lack the....smoothness, but for 1/4 the cost they're a damn steal!

http://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-...acitor--027-424

$30 for a pair that perform like $80 speakers. Literally takes 5 minutes and a soldering iron, any idiot can do it. They're off sale now, but still a good deal. I'm pushing with 65WRMS from a Pioneer receiver, they're taking it with not a problem for hours on end.




As for the geeky side of things, I'm streaming free Pandora without any ads on Pithos from the old laptop. It's pretty sweet, use the ppa current version not the one in the main repo's since it's outdated and doesn't work.

Got something cooler than fish or turtles



Solenopsis invicta, also known as the Red Imported Fire Ant
Caught two queens, going to raise some colonies. Supposedly I will have up to a couple hundred thousand ants within 6 months to a year.

We got fire ants here, are they as bad as ours?


Ours swarm onto people and bite you millions of times and if untreated can kill you

Some people die from fire ant bites, they swarm like crazy. I think the Jackjumper ants in Australia are supposed to be the deadliest in the world. They jump, are super aggressive(like chase you), have one of the most powerful stings, and many are allergic.

But RIFA's are a huge problem here. They are from the Amazon, and are quickly taking over North America
