    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Goldfish swimming backwards

Pretty goldfish. Add more water to their tank or get a less powerful filter. That's why they can't swim correctly and look like they are swimming backwards and want to hang at the bottom, away from the output of the filter. It looks like you are just stressing them out.

Very nice looking boxer.
 
Well, I have to admit my total embarrassment. I saw more of your videos, Greg. I stand so corrected and humbled. You obviously do not need my idiot schooling on tanks/fish.

I raised larger species of cichlids and gouramis for many years before I got into reptiles. They were so fun and cool and yeah, out growing tanks all the time (Jack D my favorite). And all had a nice long lifespan. Same with the cute little aquarium catfish and goldfish in little tanks for my boys. I had to put 2 ponds outside after my kids little aquarium fish grew, carps and cats, lol.

My sincere apologies for jumping to conclusions and my baseless response just based upon this one video.
