My gf only filled that much up because of fear of jumping, and I went over there and changed the water and filled it up for her... I took some screen door material and affixed it to the top... and filled the tank up.
But seriously y'all... we live in Florida. (see that little note next to every post I make under my user name?) That means it's warm here. That means the water is warm. Both our tanks have thermometers in them. I have kept and bred Oscars and Red Devils for years, and I currently still have a 120 gallon tank with a red devil named p**sy (former roommate named it) - I know how to keep fish.
You people do realize where these fish live in the wild, correct? Crappy, little, tiny, minuscule holes, generally in rice marshes. This is a freakin' mansion for these guys! Most of you know - the only reason they evolved into the smaller fins they have is, along with saving energy, to move around in confined environments!
Also, you wanna know what else I (and most everyone else here) provides these fish? An environment free of parasites, bacterial infections, predators, and the like. Basically giving these little guys (and girls) a much healthier, happier life than they would conceivably get in the wild.
Let's see... what else do I do. I have in the recent past bred a number of colubrids (rat snakes, corn snakes, and king snakes.) I currently own a female Green Tree Python, who has been mated and whose eggs will be hatching any day now. Ever tried to get a Green Tree Python baby to eat something that you defrosted from the freezer? Not an easy job by any means.
So yes, I do appreciate the answer to the question I asked - is it a female. Thank you squiremaster, sailor, and azuel. It is appreciated.
The rest of you, don't just assume we're all idiots before going and jumping on the PETA bandwagon.
PETA... yum.... People Eating Tasty Animals
