anybody that likes algae

[ThomasH]

This is what normal folks say about tarantulas and snakes. And look how much we all love them.

Cody just needs to learn some responsibility before he has any animals.

That is very different. With snakes and T's you can actually work with them, learn and watch them without your face to a magnifying glass. I think snake and arachnid popularity proves my point.
TBH

Oh and i forgot all my vps

 

[ThomasH]

um i do have animals cat,turttle,fish and some algae:}

Lesson one in algae school - Algae is NOT an animal. If you had done a second of research you would know that. This is what I'm talking about!

Not all living things are animals. Most living things aren't. Is grass an animal?

um yep lol no im just being dumb old me:8o

 

[bhoeschcod]

to be honest with you - algae is interesting
but only REALLY if you a) know it's biology and function and b) if you have a microscope
volvox for example is absolutely fascinating

Man this is one intresting thread....

 

[james.m]

LOLOLOL!! This is the most awesome thread I have ever seen. The concept of a "pet algea" is hillarious. Im all for it, keep up the good work! Heck, who knows....you might start a new trend or something on exotic pets.

What's so funny about it?

 

[Neuroticax]

So he's into algea.. who cares? If he kills it.. is there really a loss?

If people weren't interested in algea and mold, we wouldn't have things such as different foods and medications.

Please tell me how people can "find their passion" when they don't experiment with different hobbies? You're telling the kid to stick to one thing, then telling him to find something he can be interested in.

and that is why i keep them see if i keep spidies and they die and i keep on well keeping them one day ill wipe out spiders from existince and everyone would kill me:8o but if algae dies [which i doubht it i have a lot of info on them ]nobody would mind but also to learn about responsibility thats my main goal:clap:

 

[james.m]

Well you have my blessings. Keep you the good work. Keep us posted!

 

[bhoeschcod]

Thanx james oh and welcome to AB!!!!!

Dang guys whats the fuss? If a kid is interested in algae, so be it? It is pretty cool stuff. A pond I have here was FILLED with Volvox recently. It was trippin me out...at first I was hoping something had spawned...Alas it is gone now

Many of us have made lots of mistakes also. I'm sure he learns from his mistakes. I can't say that the tadpoles and crayfish I learned animal husbandry on when I was a kid were too grateful for me being their owner.

BTw, someone correct me if I am wrong but despite the major shakings of the kingdom system Animalia is still the most speciose. Even more than Plantae, which is a bit hard for laymen to believe! God must have loved beetles.

From the way he treated his wolf spiders I doubt his cat, turtle and fish are doing any better than they did. Dtknow: I don't think he has learned from any of his mistakes, at least with regards to keeping animals.

Phark, as much as it's irritated me in the past, I think that was a bit low.

I think that was stating the truth.

 

[Will Hunting]

I think that was stating the truth.

I agree with Phark, there's no reason to use euphemisms with this kid. Some people just lack enough responsibility to take an animal's life into their own hands.

 

[Neuroticax]

Well considering this thread is (supposed) to be about algae, don't you think everything else is getting a bit redundant?

Why not be a knob when the kid opens a thread about something that is considered a loss if it dies, instead of in a thread about something as stupid as algae?
