I appologize for the typoes. SOometimes I try to type too fast for my own good. I should really learn to look over my posts and use the edit button more often. I appologize for my errors. Anyways.... I thought a 55 would cost way more thean that. Shows how much I know, huh? Sounds like a plan. I will talk to my parents about it when it gets closer to my birthday. Not only do I appologize for my lack of typing skills, I would like to appologize for my obvious ignoreance and me making a forum troll of myself. I thank all of you who have put up with me. And I will try to redeem myself posting about the hopefully healthy fish that will occupy my aquarium.
Thanks... I'll be sure to check my posts over again before actually posting them. I really hope I cana make this aquarium thing work. I have another question; If I added feeder minnows to the tank should I just go to a baitshop bait shop and buy some small minnows and throw in the healthiest looking ones? Is there a species I should look for? Or would it be the best for the aquarium if I trapped my own minnows? Also, are there madtoms in southeastern Wisconsin? I've never seen a madtom before, how would I distinguish it from other fish?
Your apology for the spelling errors is itself full of spelling errors! I don't know if this is sarcasm, or what? The forum software has a built-in spelling checker. You will see a dotted red underline under unrecognized, possibly misspelled words, as you type. This should be your cue to correct the error before hitting the "Add Reply" button. I agree with you, Uland, there is no excuse for this sort of thing, not just from ZepHead, but from anybody. It just plain looks bad. And I agree with your comment about "rents", that briefly confused me too. Just the same ZepHead, because you are a Led Zeppelin lover, you are hereby forgiven
Before asking questions about the range of a fish (
"are there madtoms in..."), I suggest you look the fish up on the NatureServe web page:
http://www.natureser...let/NatureServeYou will get a good idea very quickly. Of course, this shows natural ranges, not introduced ranges. Also, get
Peterson's Field Guide to North American Fishes North of Mexico. There are range maps and illustrations in that book.
If the fish spits out the food, that's obviously not good. But give it a little time, and it may learn to accept the food. Still, I don't know of anybody who feeds flakes to sunfish. I use freeze dried, and they love it. I give them an occasional treat of live food.
