  1. :lol: no i meant southerrrrrrrn girl or is it (girrrrrrl) knew it was a female but i did not read any thing about female. call her bumbletron?
  2. well you could find the area of the triangle. .5 x b x h (It should be an equilateral triangle - so measure one side of the hexagon and that equals b and h then multiply that by 6 then times that by the height. voila! volume of hexagon. I think that might work. my brain is a little fuzzy today.
  3. geographic isolation. I also believe that the e. yellow story is a theory and is not concrete fact. I know inbreeding happens, both in our aquariums and in the wild - but i can assure there is a good genetic reason that our sisters do not pop our kids out (not just the legal side).
  4. how do you know its female? (it only has a 2-3% chance of being female) or haev I not read properly?
  5. !!!! what? im sorry but that is the sort of comment that would make one fail genetics 101. I seriously think you need to read up on the adversities of genetic inbreeding and resulting genetic disorders like extra or few chr's, premature death, a weakened immune and what have you.
  6. both. they are quite different.
  7. i know it should not matter, but unions exist to ensure such unfair dismissals do not occur. as do laws come to think of it, so it sucks that something like this is happening. I suppose it would depend on the type of game that was played. a game of touch would be reasonable but a game involving fire, weapons or one that can cause bodily harm would not. without having to call in family favours that is all i can say for now unfortunately. Although I was not aware that one warning can result in instant dismissal - which has to be reserved for the severest breaches of contract/ethics.
  8. is he part of the union? hire a lawyer too.
  9. NO. see this is the problem. everyone thinks they can better mother nature and as a result the last batch of zebras were so terribly inbred that every single one of them were succeptable to exactly the same illnesses. This is exactly the argument davidr and livingart have rightfully put forward. there is no way everyone can get satisfied, and i know if I get zebras or any other fish that has practically been wiped out of this place I certainly will not let any one else breed from them. fact is most breeders don't care about genetics - they only care about bettering fish or selectively breeding an already weakened, thin line of fish. they broke nature and then wondered what went wrong :roll:
  10. raise the water level to reduce the sound. they are not that bad. also above i meant to say moderate stocking not filtration.
  11. the standard filter is fine for moderate filtration in a planted tank, an additional filter is always useful and will enable you to stock more fish safely. in the 980 you can get a fair few community fish before having to worry about additional filtration.
  12. zebras will cost $2500 for males only. And only males will be released if the breeders have any sense. This is based on past demand, ofcourse.
  13. i will eventually get a female eclectus and an african grey (the bigger ones this time), but that's after i buy my first house which is years away. and i dont want to make rust jealous aint no anger like an upset lorikeet. 2 lorikeets would drive me insane yes?
  14. and its a venustus not a livingstonii?
  15. I know the cat and dog ones work well - even on humans. Haven't tried the fish ones yet.
  16. That's how I got rusty. seems to happen a lot with lorikeets. I want a sun conure! man they are pretty!
  17. hmm. ive had him for almost 18 months, so he is about 3years old/young now. its about the right time to breed my little hybrid and have little rusty babies and very bloody fingers
  18. and you guys thought that kakapo thing was bad. you should see him with fluffy stuff, rats, cats and tails. he also likes fluffy balls (cat toys) and he has taken a liking to my neck :-? he regurgitated on me the other day so must like me :lol: not sure if i like him THAT much that's all :oops:
  19. Any one else teach their birds silly, useless things like this?
  20. LOL what about a 2006+ Subaru legacy station wagon. 2.5 - 3l. I want one of them
