I have a jack dempsey and a texas cichlid and I say their about an inch or so and they sit by each other and smack each other with their tails. Is this breeding?

I have a 15m X 3m swimming pool, it is 2 foot deep at one end and four foot deep at the other. It is stocked with dozen of the small mosquito eating fish and has a number of water plants About a six weeks ago I introduced six comet gold fish, all fine until a week ago when I saw them chasing each other around the pool, two days later one died. This has happened three times now, they chase each other around the pool next day one dead What is the cause, what am I doing wrong? Malcolm Nebel

Dr Zachary Crook - 2015-03-17
Hi, I am a researcher in Jim Olson's lab at the FHCRC. For the purposes of setting the records straight: you are correct that Tumor Paint is based in part on a protein (chlorotoxin) encoded by the Israeli Deathstalker Scorpion. However, any implied use of actual scorpion tissue or venom products in the development of Tumor Paint is entirely false. At no point in the research leading to Tumor Paint were scorpions, their tissues, or their venom used. Once an organism's genome is decoded (as was the case for this scorpion species), it is possible to search through the genome on a computer, in order to identify genes of interest. If we want the protein encoded by that gene (as was the case for chlorotoxin), we simply use the genetic code and produce that protein in cell culture. This is similar to how insulin is produced for diabetes patients; yes, insulin can be (and used to be) collected from animal sources, but now it is made cheaply and in large quantities in cell culture. So no, live scorpions play little to no role in the development of any cancer drug, including Tumor Paint. I would go so far as to say that anyone attempting to use scorpion tissue or venom as a direct source of a medicinal agent is, to be blunt, wasting their time and the buyer's money.

MR PETER is a big crook he destroyed my life . He is a salesman lie. He makes me miserable. And ultimately ruthlessly destroyed my life. Peter took nearly a billion of me money. And disappeared. He is a very professional crook.

My Texas came from a Pet-CO "positive inventory reduction"--they give away fry. However after two years, mine has been nothing but trouble. He is VICIOUS. He nips me each time I put my hand in the tank! I've tried to feed him guppies, but he just kills them. He constantly arranges the ornamental plants, moves the gravel and air stone etc. My Jack Dempsey kept him busy for a while, but I opted for at least one clear-water tank. Simply, I've isolated him. Now he lives in a 20-gallon bath of slime. Not my fault either (unless it is a defense or a VICIOUS construct). Water polishing with a Diatom filter does not help. So there he waits, daring to bite the hand that feeds him. My Texas Cichlid is not pleasant, charming, or "pretty." He is the most aggressive fish that I have kept.

In your case remove the gravel as easier to keep clean and less trouble and mess and place a couple of clay pots as caves and ornaments as they need some type cover.

If unhappy with him than give him away.

Any cichlid would be mean if kept in a 20 gallon tank. These guys need at least 55 G, but preferably 75 G tanks--no exceptions. 20 G is equivalent to keeping a human in a closet and blaming him for an attitude. Moreover, the TX isn't "pretty" because the need to be happy for their colors to shine.

I am actually from the area in deep south texas on the mexican border where the roi grande perch, as we call 'em are native. As a kid I caught probably thousands of these guys. Our water here is slightly alkaline and high in turbidity, plenty of algae. These guys are omnivorous and like warm water but can survive until the water hits 50 degreees farenheit. If you don't like your fish moving the gravel around, they like to create spawning beds if the structure doesn't suit them, then put bigger gravel or rocks in your tank. With maybe one large stone that gives them a "castle". I remember one we had in the aquarium when I was a kid that tried to eat a channel catfish fry. Ooops, the catfish stuck out his pectoral fins and lodged in his throat so we netted him and pulled the cat out with some forceups. Perch lived. Really they do better outside if temps allow in a fishpond where they will pair up and defend their turf against interlopers. The pair will be great parents of the fry and are quit easy to hook on a bare hook or fly because they see a potential nest raider and will swim over grab the hook and swim off with it to deposit it away from the nest. Have never ate them, maybe it's cause the flesh is a light green color. The old males are quite striking in coloration and darken and gain contrast as spawning season approaches. That's usually as the water temp hits 80 degrees farenheit. The female always more diminutive will darken some too, but to a lesser degree. My fondest memory is of a morning in may when I was about 6 years old dangling a fishingline with a safety pin attached and a beetle for bait that was much too large but had about 50 rio grande perch captivated. This went on for several hours and not a single taker, except for some nibbles. Bent over the edge of the concrete like that staring into the water I got my first sunburn and blistered my back. Ouch, a lesson in common sense for a 6 year old country boy in edinburg texas.

Please I beg all the people on this blog to not fall for all the fake suppliers of parrot eggs. You can tell one, there prices are way below the normal price, like a $300 incubator for free or $50. What forms of payment are the real giveaways. If they only take Wester Union, MoneyGram, bitcoin or PaPal friends and family only they are a scam. They will tell you anything t get you to buy. Lie about religion or whatever. Just be very careful of these thieves. I am compiling a list f thieves to give to our attorney general and consumer affairs division but also Interpol and the EU police that handle this type of crime.If you have been a victim please send me their email and website if you have. You can certainly remain anonymous if you like I just want these thieves caught.

Maybe because of the deeper darker colours, Dusk macaw?
