Meh, not hijacking at all. I kind of left it open for boarding!

I haven't had Sake in years, sometimes I miss the little things.

Okay... maybe it had too much sake?
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

no clue. I might have been doing too much at once? I had 4 tabs open on my browser, CS3, another photo editing program and my computer is old. It was doing it on all my forums, but not facebook or photobucket. Weird.

I know what you people are talking about
Sake:fermented rice wine
Chambord:add with champain
Maybe a merlot will go good with it.
CORRECTION!

Chambord is a raspberry flavored liquor, and with either Zyr or Grey Goose vodka, makes a very nice martini.
AAaaaannnnd now I sound like an alcoholic.


But back to the topic, I wouldn't trust a GSP with any other kind of fish. They may get hungry while watching the Crustacean Network and have a little nom every now and then.

on topic..

and I KNOW this isn't the proper anything for this tank..

BUT

my bf has a 65 gallon hex.

In that tank there are (I know, I know, I can't get him to do the right thing..):

2 GSP -- about 1.5 and 2 inches..
3 giant danios
2 tetra
a bunch of cory cats
2 zipper fish
1 pleco

The gsps were introduced after all these fish, and don't pick on any.. except for the danios, when they steal their food. The only other fish they'd ever pick on was our giant comet goldfish.. and he used to eat all their food, too.

disclaimer: I've been trying to get him to either get a new tank for all the freshwater fish or take them back to the LFS, but he won't have it. His salinity is about 1.004 or so, and he won't raise it for the puffs. He says "they're all fine". I've had him look at this site (to which he says, "you're all fackin crazy") and he still doesn't care. When he asks me to go with him to get new fish, I won't have it.
