Jim will fight with his last dying breath to keep novelty items out of the Aquarium.

Dried brine-shrimp eggs. Put them in water and they magically come to life. Popular in the '50s when I was a kid.

I remember those, I had some when I was a kid also. It was one of those things that never worked very well, or lasted very long, but was interesting to see when you are little.
That diver must be a smurf to fit in an aquarium ![]()

Bat rays? We don't need no stinking bat rays!

I remeber I dis some little trick to make them jump over rubber ring...to impress some adult........ sadly.....my dad put them all in to one of my saltwater fish tank when I captured pufferfish, little octopus, hermit crab, starfish, red anemone and sea-gall from beach.......they've being killed....... ![]() but live in my memory. ![]() Lightfeather ur http://www.sea-monkeys.com/ link is very interesting... I did actually go into it and browse for a while ![]() Jim when u done the feeding ability of fishes.....will u put those brine shrimp as food....this might be interesting....watching fishes chasing these little things.... ![]()

actually I think stores like spencers still sell em with the fancy tank that has view ports on it or you can just go to local pet shop and buy a Tube with enough eggs to give you fresh pets for a real long time. Ill have to go look now and see if I can find my old tank if so Ill post its pic hehe it was kinda cute for a gimmick. I remember the "Train them to do tricks" stuff using a penlight flashlight too.

Jim is right to keep toys out of the aquarium. I know it's a common thing to do in freshwater tanks, and that's what most people are used to, but they just don't belong in marine aquariums. No self-respecting marine aquarium hobbyist would *ever* consider putting a toy in their tank. I know that sounds strict, but the goal of every marine aquarium is to replicate the natural environment as much as possible. That's what makes them so beautiful.
