Update on Pistachio

Well, I've finished the treatments. I gave them 6 doses of Jungle Parasite Clear, removing most of the meds inbetween each dose. I also soaked all their food in some concentrated PC for an hour before feeding. They are both still eating. I saw Garth purging dead worms from his anus last week, which is a very good sign. I don't know if Pistachio is any better though. But I figured I'd done it long enough, and no need to keep subjecting him to the meds if it wasn't doing anything. I guess for now I'll just keep an eye on him, and if he starts being reluctant to eat then I will take drastic actions.

It's so hard to see out fin babies sick.
Especially when we try everything we can to save them.

Come on Pistachio, you can do it!

True, the moon might fall into the earth if that were to happen! I'll tell him that you all command him to get better.

Pink Floyd is awesome. I also like Iron Maiden, Metallica, ACDC, Pantera, and a few others, Rock On.

Pink Floyd's my favorite, obviously, lol. The Maiden rocks. I like pre-Black Album Metallica alot, but hate the newer stuff. They totally sold out imo.
I have too many favorite bands to list here though. haha

:;io hahah, Ever heard the song "One-Metallica" ?? it's an older song, and I don't listen to albums, I get my music from my dad, he has an external hard drive with are 15 gigs of music.

"One-Metallica"? I know the song "One" by Metallica. It's great. And this probably won't mean much to you, but the best albums of theirs IMO are ...And Justice for All, Master of Puppets, and Ride the Lightning.
Newer stuff like St. Anger, Black Album, etc I find to be a disgrace for everything Metallica used to symbolize.

I have heard St. Anger songs and I must say it is the worst junk I have ever heard. Never heard black, but if it's anything like St. Anger then I won't go near it.



And when I said "one" - metallica, I did mean one by metallica lol, soz.

Rock on Kayin
Although the Black Album isn't as bad as St. Anger, it was the point where Metallica started to go downhill. The most famous song from that album is "Enter Sandman". Which although a pretty pathetic song, still makes St. Anger look riddiculous.

Lol, it's ok. That's from ...And Justice for All. That album's a great listen all the way through

Iron Maiden was the first Metal/Rock group that got me interested in the genre, and I listen to about 50% of there songs.

Enter Sandman was the very first metallica song I ever heard, I was amazed, and as my taste in music advanced in stages I now hate that song, it is an annoyance, and the action of thinking about it is ugly. A co-worker told me to listen to One, told me it was an older song that emerged in the 70's-80's and so I did, and I love that song, it is excellent, then I started listening to more and more songs by them, anything I can get my hands on I listen to, if I like it then it goes on a cd, if I don't it goes to the recycle bin lol.

Then pantera came around on my music list and I don't have too many songs by them but the few I have I really like, Hollow, 5 minutes alone, immortally insane, are all great songs. Hollow is a little like One, have you ever heard it?

ACDC was a band that my brother listened to a bit, and he got me interested in it, I have listened to and like a lot of there songs.

How about you?

Well, my first interest into the world of what I like to call "good music" was when I listened to my dad's Pink Floyd album Wish You Were Here. I was blown away. I'd been playing piano for many years, so when I discovered this I just couldn't get enough. It even inspired me to learn guitar. I've now switched to the bass guitar, and I love it! I started listening to many classic rock bands, which I found were leagues ahead musically of most bands nowadays. My interest in classic rock LED to Led Zeppelin which led (lol) directly into metal. I've discovered a passion for pretty much every musical genre. Emphasis on the musical. I cannot stand pop music, music made for dancing or just the heck of it (ie hip hop), and stuff like that.

I haven't heard Hollow, that I know of. I've heard a little Pantera, but not for a while.

Strangely I've never developed a taste for ACDC. I think it's probably their vocals that I don't care so much for and their not-so-impressing-to-me guitar work. Don't get me wrong, I respect what they've done.

I love Iron Maiden's gusto. Good songs, good effort. And of course I love Eddie. lol

My favorite spectrum of music is the progressive side. Like my dear Pink Floyd, Rush, Jethro Tull, and some crazy Prog-metal bands most people haven't heard of. Lol. I'm also addicted to the blues.

cool stuff,

yeah as far as ACDC goes, I probably like it so much because my brother always listened to it, so I was around it a lot. an acquired taste perhaps... and if you get a chance check out Hollow, it's a pretty cool song I think, lol.

I also like a lot of genres, jazz, blues are okay (my brother used to play that a bit on his guitar), some metal, lots of rock.

I dislike rap, hip hop, pop etc but am not totally opposed to it, you wouldn't find it on any of my cd's, but it's not all bad, my brother-in-law is a DJ and used to play techno at clubs all the time.

I have a few of those bands I like just because of the nostalgia of it.

I love jazz. Some of the best muscians ever are in jazz.
To name all the genres I like would take to long then I'd like at the moment, lol.

I think that dance clubs and techno/hip hop/rap are perfectly suited for each other. I personally like my music for the art side of it more than the entertainment side.

Hi Alexis
I'm glad you put an update on your little pistachio I was just thinking about the little girl today when I saw some more at death city(Wal-Mart) I'm so glad she is still with you. I hope she gets better real soon. I hope I remember correctly that she is a she. If not forgive me my memory is pretty bad.

Thanks Speedy
It's actually impossible to sex them, so I just guess. Usually I can Stachi a he, but it's just as likely he's a she!

well there is one way to figure out which sex they are, but the fish has to be dead, and it involves a scalpel.
