45.  The easiest way to make a fish eat medicated peas, is to use Gerber peas and a pipette from Sally's.
46.  It costs more for groceries to sustain fish, worms, live cultures, foods than to sustain one person and 3 cats.
47.  It costs less for those groceries than to buy flake, frozen foods or live foods grown/sold by the lfs.
48.  Sally's beauty supply has large sponge hair rollers that make good sponge filters for fry tanks.
49.  If you tell Sally's staff that the hair net is to keep flies out of your worms, they'll think you're nuts.
50.  California blackworms need air.
51.  Dead California blackworms smell really, really bad.
52.  Nearly EVERYONE in my tanks loves Gerber peas.
