Wasn't sure where to post on this? I have a small plastic pond with two goldfish to keep the skeeters down, anyone know what I can use to keep the algae under control without killing the fish?

In your local WalMart(Or farm supply store) there will be a pond section near the fish stuff. Look in there and there is a liquid there that will help clear up algae problems. (I can't remember the name of it right this second, tho) It will tell you how much to use for how many gallons and all, right on the bottle. Good luck to you with it! You should post pics!   |

Dang it Doug , I'm writing this reply to you from jail.  Although it was very thoughtful for you to mail me the Escargot , it was pretty rank by the time it got here.  The postal service was sure it was some type of biological mail attack and they blamed me.  You should have put your return address on the package. That way , you could be here instead of me !  When I get out you can be sure that I will return the favor in some way , shape , or fashion......  |

What cell U in? I'll come visit, minus the snails. Thanks CP ! Sorry I couldn't get back to ya sooner...... The situation got worse.  As I was trying to sneak out of the prison office where I had "borrowed" the puter , two jail guards caught me. Now I'm also facing chares of unauthorized use of a gubernment puter AND attempted escape.  I'm out on bail now since my wiphe stood on a corner with a cardboard sign for two days. So , now she's mad at me.   I think I'll go hide.  and plan my revenge for Doug.  |
