Gabe, have you had much experience with porcupines? Do they normally get sociable with humans?

I am not really interested in a pet that I need to wear gloves to play with. Sorry porcupine, back of the line.

Ok? It could happen to me in RI, it's not really random when it's your job. While I never met her
Many of my friends have at conferences and talked tiger behavior and training. This a tragic accident of someone who was a professional in what can be a very dangerous field with one tiny slip up.

Fox are very cool. The kids are so darn cute. I had a mom come have her kids under an old play house 10 yards from my house for a couple of years.
They never messed with any of the farm animals, they'd bark at the cat but she got to where she wouldn't even pay attention.

Crappy pic, but my first batch of cichlids are coloring up nicely.

Those are going to be some beautiful green terrors. I raised them before.

Tiger's aren't native to Florida, so it's not even possible for this to occur.

They produced really dull offspring. I only ended up breeding 2 generations then sold them off as feeders. I was getting slight tail deformities also.
That's the shitty part about cichlids, odds are they're inbred not to far back if you follow the lineage unless you get them from a reputable dealer. Easy breeders like SA's make it even worse.

The two I bred were carefully chosen from different stores in different cities. I went through several females before I found a good match. The babies came out beautiful.

Looks like yours have really nice color in your pic.

I bread some Pseudotropheus Flavus before, all bought at the same time and they had great color to them. Some of them had messy lines on the side though. I bred like 10 generations of them and they kept coming out nice even though they were inbred.

World Wide Corals is doing some crazy stuff. They've found a way in coral that can turn stony corals green.

We still do not know exactly what causes the transfer of fluorescent pigments from one coral to another, and we don’t believe there’s been any scientific investigation into it either.

Interestingly, the odd pattern of fluorescent pigments being found in aberrant ways is also seen in wild corals and plenty of species have demonstrated this in the wild. We’ve personally seen GFP infections in all manner of Acropora, Montipora, Stylocoeniella and several more.

Both started out red and the green took over one

It's nice to see them make a comeback. They kind of fell off the map for awhile.
I've found when breeding FW fish to sell to a pet store, color brightness is way more important than a crooked line. Clown fish were the exact opposite. The more fucked up the lines were and the more white they were, the more money they were worth.
 
I never had any success breeding cichlids except for convicts which are like rabbits anyway. Still cool watching how active they are as parents.

Damn good video. I need watch more of this. You deserves multiple likes for sharing this video.

I'm surprised the monkey even realised he/she is getting a different reward by sight. Or is it smell?
