I have a tank, about 50 litres in volume, with a filter and have two medium goldfish, one celestrial fish, one medium fish I don't know the name of but its very colourful, two wether loaches and two small crayfish but am unsure how much to feed them?
I have had them for about three months and started feeding them about half a tea spoon twice a day, then a friend of mine said to feed them half a tea spoon once a day and I went to a pet specialist in town about a week ago because the water was very coloudy all the time and she said she feeds her fish about half a teaspooon three times a week maximum,
That seemed very little but I tried it and the water has cleared nicely but I am worried I am starving them?
Any one know the right ammount to feed them all?

Thankyou ! ! x x

I found a black bone-looking thing on the ground by a creek. Its really smooth, and looks kinda old. Somebody told me that it means that the bone is from the ice age. Does anybody know anything about this type of thing?

I'm starting my summer classes at college this friday and I'm hoping for the opportunity to befriend a pretty girl or two in hopes of taking her out and trying to seriously find a girlfriend. So I guess my question is how should I go about doing this? I want to talk to a pretty girl without drawing alot of attention to myself. Please give some advice.

Girls: How would you want a guy you barely knew or had never seen before to approach you in a collegiate setting such as the one described?

Guys: How would you go about doing what it is I want to do?

I have wondered why it is that Barack Obama has risen to the top tier of candidates so quickly and without an experienced past. Who decided that he was a strong candidate to begin with? When and how did that happen? Is it, perhaps, because it makes white people feel good to support a black candidate? Does it ease their conscience and help to expiate their perceived sins against black people? Do they look forward to the opportunity of saying in front of a black person that they are voting for Obama? Do they fear black people and want to appease them? Do they think Obama is the "safe" black candidate that they have been waiting for?

I understand in general how it is made. My question mainly is focused on how I could do the parts that seem difficult. Is there anywhere I could get a pattern or other help on a project like this?

How exactly is that fair? Why punish an entire race for the actions of two individuals? All humans are different. Thats like saying if a brown haired man commited a crime, all brown haired men should go to jail, and don't say that's different, because it's not.

I am an office manager for a company that owns 12 retail stores. I get a pay raise every year. This year my raise was only .60 cents. Does this sound like enough? I work every day, 40 hours a week. Has anyone else ever gotten a small raise like this or no raise at all? I know I should count myself lucky because everyone else here only get .25 to .50 cents, but I would like to know what you think.

First: please only post an answer if you know what you're talking about! Thanks!

Question: I have a Roth IRA that was opened in 1998 with an initial investment of $2000. I have not contributed or done anything with it since and it is now $6717. Due to a personal financial crisis that will not resolve itself any other way, I am seriously considering closing my Roth IRA. I'm in my 30's and my distribution would not qualify for any of the exemptions provided by the IRS. I know that I face a 10% penalty as well as taxes.

How much would I actually get of the $6700 if I close the account, and do I pay the 10% penalty fee & taxes on the distribution upfront or at tax time?

I'm only considering this drastic option because: 1) I really need the money, and 2) I have a 401K building at work...so there is some retirement planning already.

Thanks in advance!

How about :

Cougar Samuel Lynn

Or is Cougar too weird? Samuel is passed down so it's a must. Lynn is the last name. Sisters names are Madeline and Teagan. I'm not sure Cougar fits in. What do you think?

Aspirin is produced by the reaction of salicylic acid (M = 138.1 g/mol) and acetic anhydride (M = 102.1 g/mol).

C7H6O3(s) + C4H6O3(λ) → C9H8O4(s) + C2H4O2(λ)

If you mix 5.00 grams of each reactant, how many grams of aspirin (M = 180.2 g/mol) can theoretically by obtained?

a.2.83 g
b.3.83 g
c.6.52 g
d.10.0 g
e.8.82 g

I once had a long (12 hour) discussion with a brother in law about religion.

He started out by saying he was an atheist, but believed that Jesus was the son of god. He had thought that because he rejected organised religion, that made him an atheist.

Having sorted him out on that one, he went on to say believing in god was logical and then I must have some core belief, that it was impossible not to. It took about two hours to get him understand that no, I really didn't believe in god.

But then, getting him to acknowledge that it was faith, not logic that made him believe in god took around 9-10 hours.

Finally, after peeling back all the layers of his belief and why he held them, he had to admit to the seed of his belief being faith, which then undermined his whole argument about belief in god as being logical.

How many others confuse faith and logic?

Why did he have so much difficulty accepting someone could really not believe in god?

My son is 10 years old and is very pickey. He has been declining meat since he was 2. He really doesn't like beans either. We just had a family get together on Sunday with plenty of Barbeque ribs and chicken, there was also fried fish. He wouldn't touch any of it, he only ate baby carrots. I don't know how to make sure he's getting the nutricion and protiens he needs because I don't have contact with any vegetarians to ask what would be good to feed him. He did try vegetarian bacon the day before and liked it, but I can't give him that every morning. What are some other things a child might like that would supply his body with what it needs?
