Here's a useless fact for you to digest

[Wyld-Fyre]

Did you know that Planarians hate oxygenated water?

I've got a snailarium I've left to stand for a little while, to encourage them to breed, and noticed a breeding 'explosion' of Planarians (as well as snails). They were everywhere, until now that is. They're now sharing the tank with 100's of L.F. Leopard Danio fry. So, 'on' with the aeration, and they've all disappeared back into the substrate.

Has anyone else got an equally 'useless' fact they'd like to share?

Well here is my useless fact. If you took all the humans in the world and put them in a pile and then put all the ants in the world into a pile. The ants pile would be larger. Or so I heard on tv.

I wouldn't quite classify that as useless though - rather helpful, actually I hope you got things cleaned up okay! When I was really little I spilled red nail polish on my parents' (lime green) carpet!
