LOST MY ANGELFISH EGGS

I lost my angel fish eggs once again today. I thought of removing the eggs from the parents today morning, but couldn’t do it since I was a little busy today. I didn’t expect the eggs to be eaten even though the angel fish parents were in a community tank just because of the fact that there were no other big fishes in the tank and the angel fish could easily protect their eggs from the small fishes. But I never thought that the sucker catfish in my tank would be a threat for the eggs and that’s exactly what happened today evening. The sucker catfish sucked the eggs which were laid along a plastic pipe .I think it’s just because of the poor vision of the parents in the dark that enabled the catfish to eat the eggs. It’s really unfortunate to loose the eggs in this way. Hopefully, I will get all the eggs hatched next time without any problem by taking some special care.

THAT BUFFET DINNER


We water our mouth often,when we think of buffet dinners. I recently went for a buffer dinner when I was extremely hungry. The expectations of the delicious dishes for the buffet really sharpened my hunger before going for the dinner. Although I went for the dinner with the expectation that I could eat huge amounts of food; all I could manage was some good dishes before I started loosing my appetite. I was really sad because after paying a big amount of money for the dinner I couldn’t eat much. Also when I saw many other people eating continuously for about an hour, I felt irritated. It’s something which happens to me every time I taste different varieties of dishes. It can be really sad when we pay a big amount of money for a buffet and couldn’t capitalize on it. In my case it may be because I am a small man with an even smaller stomach. So there after I understood that its more like a wastage of money rather than having some good dishes of food when I go for buffet dinner. Does this post seem to be funny to you? Then please comment with your experiences about buffet dinners.

CLASSIC STYLE IS GOING AWAY FROM CRICKET

It was a totally different vvs laxman in the last airtel champions leagueT20 cricket match that the Deccan chargers played.Laxman is always known for his classic style of batting and wrist work. He is a player who always plays his shots along the ground and through the gaps. Aggression is not something that we associate with his batting. But in the last match he was really trying to be aggressive with every ball he played .He was really trying to muscle the ball and he played a lot of lofted shots which was really unusual for him. I think the pressure of scoring quickly in T20 matches has forced even the most classic players to change their style. In modern days cricket it’s obvious that classic players are going unnoticed and especially in T20 cricket no team likes a player to be too much classic. I really wonder what the future of test cricket will be with lots of T20 matches played every year. I am sure that in the coming years of cricket we are unlikely to see too many classic cricketers.

PERFUMES CAN REALLY ACT FOR YOU



Perfumes always provide us great means to make ourselves attractive. I often use scents just to make myself feel fresh. When we use a perfume it’s important that the scent which it gives off is enjoyable rather than irritating. I like perfumes which retain its sweet scent even after sweating ourselves a lot. Recently while I was surfing through the net to buy perfumes I found a variety of exciting perfumes in the site www.scent.net .Their wide range of perfumes and colognes tempted me to buy some from them. Even during sexual relationship partners like to provide each other with a good scent. So I personally believe that using a good perfume can add quite a bit to our personality.

SMOKELESS TOBACCO IS NEVER SAFE

One of my friends stopped smoking recently and started using smokeless tobacco as a substitute. One reason he has for that is ‘smokeless tobacco is far less harmful than cigarettes’. Nowadays he is using one packet of tobacco pouches daily.Anyway,I never have the opinion that smokeless tobacco products are safe. They can also have other bad effects to our health even though they don’t damage our lungs. Am I right? It’s a pity that even school children are using these kinds of tobacco pouches in our country. There is an unfair advantage in using tobacco pouches and that is no one will recognize a man using tobacco pouches since it is completely hidden under the lips. I really want my friend to stop using this but he thinks that if any problem arises due to tobacco pouches his gum will show early signs like white spots and so by that time he can stop it. Isn’t it funny? To any youngster who has the misconception that smokeless tobacco is safe, my advice to you is that these products can also cause respiratory infections and may even cause mouth cancer with prolonged usage.

ALBINO RED EYE


It’s been a year since I had been breeding albino red eye guppies. One thing I understood about them is that they are not easy to raise as the other varieties of guppies. In my experience albinos take a much longer period to reach adulthood from their birth. Even after feeding them with worms which contain high fat content they are not growing so fast as the other guppies. Also a good percentage of them die during the first stages of their life. I don’t know whether other people who raise them are also experiencing this problem. I used to take special care by placing the females which are about to give birth separately in a planted tank so that I can get all the babies without being eaten. one fact I learned from the internet about albino guppies is that they are born blind which makes them easy to be eaten by their parents. Any way I don’t want to stop breeding them since they are very attractive and have comparatively high market value.

CHAMPIONS TROPHY CRICKET

It’s very sad that team India is really struggling to enter the semifinals in champions trophy cricket 2009.With the match against Australia being washed out because of the rain the chances are that the team is going out of champions trophy. Now the situation is that India need to beat west Indies in their coming match by a big margin and also Pakistan should beat Australia which seems rather unlikely to happen. I am a big fan of the stylish left hander yuvraj and India is really missing him in champions trophy. He is the greatest strength for the Indian middle order and without him I feel a little bored to watch champions trophy cricket.i feel that we miss a lot of action with the absence of the two magnificent strikers in world cricket,yuvraj and sehwag.ofcourse the injury to zaheer khan too had really affected the team. What will happen in the match against West Indies? We will wait and see.

BEAR ATTACK


This is what happens when wild animals attack. The man on the picture was attacked by a polar bear. He and his friends were sleeping in a tent when the bear entered the tent. I have many other pictures of this man inflicted by fatal wounds in his body parts. But I think it should not be shown here because it’s really horrible to watch. The bear really attacked his head tearing off the top portion of his head and his leg was really crushed. Some how his friends managed to kill the bear and save his life, but not before getting badly wounded. So whenever you are in a forest with any wildlife expedition beware that wild animals are never to be taken lightly. They are born with wild instincts and even if you try to keep one of them at your home giving it all your love, you are never safe. The animals can never be blamed for this because it’s their nature

FLOWERHORN


Flowerhorn cichlids are a special variety of cichlids known for the hump on their heads. They can be called as aquatic bulls with their aggressive nature and distinctively shaped head. Like many exciting varieties of aquatic fishes that we see to day flowerhorns are also man made hybrids. Their market value varies with the size of the hump, larger the hump; higher will be the price. They are territorial fishes and it’s not that easy to pair cichlids. They eat a large variety of foods and you won’t have any problems in making them eat. Even though young flowerhorn cichlids are much cheaper than adults, the problem is that you won’t know what type of color it will exhibit as it grows big.

AQUARIUM CARE

If you are keeping your aquarium outside your house, one thing you should take care is that your aquarium should have a proper covering. One of the main reasons for having a proper covering is due to dragon flies. Most dragon flies lay their eggs in water .You might have seen dragon flies jumping in and out of your aquarium touching the surface of the water, if you are having a fish pond outside. Actually these dragon flies are laying their eggs by doing so. When these eggs hatch there is every chance that the larvae attack the small baby fishes in the aquarium for their food. Baby fishes of guppies and swordtails are very small by birth which makes them ideal prey for these dragon fly larvae. So it’s always good to have a covering on top of your aquarium if you are having one outside. This will prevent dragon flies and other unwanted insects from interacting with the aquarium.
