Let's get Dorkhedeos a boat!

[[email protected]]

Since you don't want to use that stick radio that Dave gave you you need to take the radio out of your electric boat and bring it over. Yeah as for pictures were gonna take some the next time he comes over, right Dorkhedeos???? He wouldn't let me take pix of him so hopefully next time we can. It'll be really great to show these guys what we're doing!

Bill,
I tried e-mailing you. Sometimes they come back like this one did. Go ahead and send that great stuff for DH.

Thanks again Bill!

Rod, Will box stuff up and send them tomorrow, Tuesday.

Bill

 

[Dorkhedeos]

DH and Rodney,

I sent you guys a Prather 215 today to see how it works this weekend.

When I get more time I will do a X-437/3 for you. I'm really busy with

spring rush so when it slows down I will take care of you. The propeller

was a used one that I got in a trade, so it's not the best,but it is balanced.

Have Fun,

Mark Sholund

well, its true though, they use syringes to inject a dye into glass fish to make them more colorful. normal glass fish look like this

[Dorkhedeos]

after they inject them, the fish looks like this, and most of the fish die, only like 10% live

[Dorkhedeos]

they also inject parrot fish with the dye. please do not buy any dyed fish

edit* dont buy betta in a vase either, the people that sell them tell you that the fish will eat the plants roots and the plant will give it oxygen and clean up its crap, this is not true, betta are carnivores

dyed fish are sooooooo cool though. i used to have like 50 in my aqurium but slowly they all died, i think it was because of the koi i had

DarkH,

You put this knowledge you have about fish into rc boats and you'll be very succesful. Thanks for the information. I used to be a big aquriam guy but that died off years ago. Funny about the Betta's or Siamese fighting fish. I used to breed them for about 3 years.

My kids male betta just died, now the frog is lonely!

well your kinda right bettas are omnivores like humans they do eat plants from time to time, but they prefer bugs and larva that is found in stagnent water. most of the time they don't do good in vases because ppl use the wrong plants and the plants end up poisioning the fish. most ppl also don't change teh water enough, thus the plant drains teh water of essential elements and ends up starving the betta of minerals... lastly a mistake most make is they fill the water to the bottom of the tray the plant sits in. Betta's are found in bassically mud puttles in thier natrual habitat, they have a partially developed lounge. this is why you see them hanging at teh top with thier lips out of teh water. they are actually breathing. so what ends up happening when the watter is full up.. the fish drowns...

barefoot racing.... now who woulda tought a fish could drown?

 

[Dorkhedeos]

yup, betta are labyrinth fish. so are gouramis. i think betta will only eat plants if there isnt anything to eat or if you add it their food. i want to get a barracuda some day though. I LOVE GOLDFISH BECAUSE THEYRE SO DELICIOUS! GOLDFISHES! :lol:

Betta fish are ok in the vases with the plants, but you do have to feed them.

You mean Pepperidge Farm's goldfishes or goldfish goldfishh?

 

[CySlyde]

i want to get a barracuda some day though.

havn't had one of those yet... I have had a nurse shark, a sand shark, a bonnet shark, a hawaiian lion fish, a scorpion fish, and a couple triggers in my tanks before. all of these fish are now in others tanks cause i currently don't have a large enough tank. but i do think i'll try a mama ona (great barracuda) when i get my 210 back up

 

[SColby]

I would like ot see a pic of that 210 you have some day CySlyde. i have a 250 at home that is freshwater that will be salt water eventually.

 

[wswatzell]
