I wonder if the bubonic plague comes and goes with the warming of the climate as well? Maybe an extension can be made to coral reefs, they like humans suffer dieseases more in the peaks of "global warming", which is just a natural phenomenon.

I still think that it is kind of sad when a spieces goes extinct even though extinction is a part of life. I believe extinction is viewed through the eyes of a biologist as neither good or bad, just a animal that could not deal with the coming change. I have also heard that all the animals in...

Well it happened in the past, right? The corals lived through that! I think most people have a short term outlook on weather, that is you are looking at a tree, but you are not seeing the whole forest. I fear that "global warming" is more of a political issue, and not an issue about the earth...

Congratulations on your new shrimp Thales, now you can give up that silly preoccupation with cephalopods and go straight to crustacean breeding.

I feed a variety of foods as well, but as far as dried foods go Ocean Nutrition and OSI are my favorite. My "bristleworms" love Ocean Nutrition formula one small pellet and it is the perfect size to fit in there mouths. If you happen to hate worms, which by the way are very good for your...

Perhaps you have a pistol shrimp yet to be discovered? I know that there is alot of false information out there that serves the best interest of whom ever placed it. I trust Dr. Shimek, an Invertebrate Zoologist, he writes " It is worth noting at this juncture that NO crustacean has ever been...
