Kalypso, my Diva red capped oranda goldfish, is slightly aggressive.
I initially had a calico telescope goldfish, named Klyde, and he was beautiful, sweet and very responsive. So, I felt he needed a friend.
Therefore, I marched myself into the pet store and chose a beautiful fish, that looked like a girl, that could be Klyde’s girlfriend.
Within 5 minutes of being in the bowl with Klyde, Kalypso started nipping his tail. Not good…She took quite a chunk, and I had to quickly remove Klyde to his own tank again.
Actually, Klyde went downhill from that point on…He got ick and cotton on him…He [ ... ]

My fish is a Diva!
I’m not kidding either…
Let me tell you a story about what just happened in the past few days…
It has been an extremely busy week, and I didn’t feel like cleaning out Kalypso’s 10 gallon fish bowl. She has 2 filters with bubbles and a floaty fish toy that she loves snuggling and pushing around the bowl.
Kalypso has grown quite a bit in size since I got her in the spring. I’d say she’s more than doubled in size. So, I got this new 10 gallon bowl just for her as an upgrade from her 5 gallon [ ... ]

If you haven’t already heard, there is a brand spankin’ new Bigfoot sighting!
Two Georgia trackers claim they found the corpse of the notoriously mysterious Bigfoot in the northern woods and brought it home to stash it in a freezer for the past month.

As of yet, the trackers have not revealed much, except the photo and 3 DNA samples. So far, one sample was clearly human, one was of an opossum, and [ ... ]

Exotic Animal Newsflash:
I watched on TV tonight that the deadly “Red Tide” algae is toxic and killing animals of all sorts in the St. Lawrence River system in Canada.
Belugas, birds, porpoises, fish, mollusks…you name it, it’s affected.
It moves up the food chain, and in the case of whales, like belugas, they feel it affects their brain and makes them slower and confused, making them more likely to collide with boats.
The red tide algae are common in this area, but usually wash away by this point of the year, whereas this year, it is lingering too long!
Why?
Well, it is believed that [ ... ]

With so many supplements out on the market, it’s hard to decipher which are good, which are bad, and which ones even make any difference at all.
Colloidal silver is a supplement that I’ve been taking for years, since university in fact. I am unsure if this is what keeps me healthy, or if it’s a combination of the all the healthy things I do with my lifestyle, but I am very very rarely ever sick.
Colloidal silver touts itself to relieve spinal pain, osteoporosis, arthritis, nerves & stress, blood circulatory cleanser, eyes, conjunctivitis, ears (wash ear twice/day), canker, sinus, muscle & [ ... ]
