Spiderguardnano Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 idk why but i imagine amphipod to look and talk like this dude Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 That's easy man. Post a picture of your face and your ID together.... just redact your address and stuff one of my internet rules is never post selfies or face pics. This has been implied many times in my posts. I think I need an adult... why what's wrong with a teen? idk why but i imagine amphipod to look and talk like this dude http://youtu.be/C3Yd7M3JNlw'>http://youtu.be/C3Yd7M3JNlw I look nothing like him, but my voice does actually sound very similar to his, but the grammar used is quite different. PS I could only watch a little because my data would be devoured by the length of the video. Link to comment
scottsdale454ss Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Dont you have a thread somewhere talking about taking wildlife out of florida waters? *edit* NM Found it Why do you have bones in an aiptasia tank? Is that how you're trying to dispose of your victims? Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 No it was my brothers idea and I had the bones sitting around so I went with it and it looks pretty cool Link to comment
yomon347 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Bones for the worms I'm guessing. A variety of species have been found feeding off whale bones in the ocean. I had plenty of weird projects/experiments when I was young, there just wasn't much of an internet available to publish it. Boys will be boys. Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 I have no bone devouring worms yet, but they can provide an awesome substrate for coraline algae, and other algae, and aiptasia. reminds me of egg shell aquarium, bryopsis algae is in there as a reservoir, its an attempt at growing coraline algae, not successful. Egg shells were crushed after having the membrane removed and spread on the bottom. Link to comment
scottsdale454ss Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 More pet/tank pictures please Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 if your looking for coraline growth up your salinity, just eyeball it, dont tongue it Link to comment
CrazyCarl Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 . Its not quite a god complex in my scenario, I like to see and marvel at the creatures, also keep them as one would other pets. Though I won't lie sometimes I like to see them fight, solve problems, and occasionally I do experiments. I also many times have dissected my dead pets, one time I had a millipede die and I had an electric sparker from some lighter and I was dissecting him and I put the wires at the base of the legs from the inside and they moved, it was weird. This is great... I am truly fascinated by the OP and this thread. Please tell us more about your dissecting and experiments... Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 This is great... I am truly fascinated by the OP and this thread. Please tell us more about your dissecting and experiments... we'd be talking about this so long, I've been doing this stuff for years. One that never gets old is wasp vs ant, in the summer I agitate my select ants colony, I find a wasp and place it in the nest, sometimes the wasp simply flies away but sometimes they stay and fight, they go on biting and trying to sting the ants. The escape is simply to go upwards but that occasional wasp decided to be aggressive, of course the wasp is killed and devoured. But it was weird to think even they, simple wasps have personalities, waspy aggressive personalities, still a personality. Link to comment
cju84 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 OK, gotta admit I am completely baffled. And leaning toward, if not outright convinced, that Amphipod isn't a troll. But I am seriously disturbed by that rabbit skull tank. Like "Wow, is this the next Ed Gein?" disturbed. Nothing personal dude, but wowzers. Oh, and the perpetually water logged hands too... cleaning up the viscera on a daily basis? lol. Sensing a god-complex. Its ok, I have one too. Most people in this hobby have it. This is what I meant by a deep rooted cause. Its a need to control, a need to create, a potentially unknown need to destroy. When we as a human learn to control; we become a creator, a godlike figure. If we can encapsulate a piece of the earth in a small container, and actually nurture the process of life; we feel power, fulfillment, pleasure. So basically a psychopath/sociopath. Link to comment
Steensj2004 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 lol. So basically a psychopath/sociopath. I'm not sure either of those fall under what LongDoggy was saying.... Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 I assume that Cju84 is speaking his opinions of me. Link to comment

Markburns43 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 :/.. there's a lot of weird out there in this world just so happens your sharing it on here which for what people are used to seeing is out of the ordinary, no one thinks about the people at the morgues embalming and preserving the dead.. or what about people who clean up murders and accidents dead people, or simply taxidermy, I say as long as your not truly hurting any one or going out of your way to hurt real living creatures ( besides Bugs) get on with your weird self lol Link to comment
Dryland Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just call the rabbit skull tank your "game of thrones tank" and everyone will be cool about it. Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Lol so true. Now do you all want to hear of the freshwater tanks also? I have only 2 salties left to show. Link to comment
cju84 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I assume that Cju84 is speaking his opinions of me. No no, not at all. What he was describing was basically one. I think nothing but good things of you and your threads always brighten my day! Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 here's my gorilla crab, I'm still thinking a name for it.

I think nothing but good things of you and your threads always brighten my day! I'm actually glad to hear that Link to comment
