- First of all, I don't particularly appreciate your tone of voice. (or fingers).
- If you can't respond in a relatively pleasant manner, please don't respond at
- all. The editor I use automatically wraps the lines on MY screen... and when
- I view it with XRN, it, again, wraps the text appropriately. So, the text
- I enter looks fine to me, and reads fine to me...
-
- You're right, I should have written more...
-
- I wouldn't because I am under the impression that white clouds are relatively
- sensitive fish that require a good deal of oxygen and very clean water. The
- smaller a system is, the more difficult it is to maintain this type of
- environment especially for sensitive fish. Goldfish, too, require special
- conditions and are not at all suited for small environments. Do you disagree
- with me so far? I'm not saying it isn't possible to keep them in a small
- environment, but it is more difficult and the water quality must (should) be
- watched very closely.
-
- I choose labyrinth fish over non-lab fish because they have an additional
- breathing mechanism, and are also more capable of handling (in general) poor
- water conditions because they hail from mucky, acidic, stagnant waters, for the
- most part.
-
- I hope I have presented enough information for those of you who were confounded
- by my previous reply.
