Why do I keep getting hives?

Posted on May 1, 2012 by admin| 15 Comments

I just moved from a small town in kentucky to south carolina on the beach. I have been getting a decent amount of sun and using sunscreen. I also began work in a seafood restaurant where I often handle and eat various seafood. I have also been using baby powder to avoid chaffing. I also have been drinking about every night but not a whole lot.

The first time I got them was when i was drinking on the beach. I wass out there for only 2 or so hours and when i got went home i realised i had hives all over my body. Since then I have gotten them about 4 more times, mostly at night when I am at the bar. I am not sure if it is the baby powder but that is what I feel is may be causing it since I have been a drinker for years and have had no problems. But i also feel that it could be an allergy i never knew i had, like to shrimp, shellfish, or some type of pollen or tree down here. I have no history of having any type of food allergy, so i’m unsure what it could be. I also don’t fe

Can saltwater fishing lures work for freshwater fishing?

Hey, I just bought “Gulp, New Penny” shrimp lures thinking they would be good for freshwater fishing. Little did I know but they are used for saltwater. Will they work when I go freshwater fishing?

Could this tropical freshwater community work?

Posted on September 4, 2011 by admin| 5 Comments

For a 20 gallon aquarium, I want:
1 Dwarf or Pea Puffer
2 Male Guppies
4 Female Guppies
5 Platies
4 Ghost Shrimp
8 Neon Tetras
3 Panda Cory Cats
Are there any fish I shouldn’t get? I know this tank will be way overstocked, I am going to moniter my Ammonia very closely and stay on top of the water changes. I have made a shopping cart at an online aquarium supply store and just to let you know how well set up this tank will be, I even bought a refugium for the livebearer fry, of which I plan to give almost all away to a pet store nearby. It will be a planted tank with a piece of driftwood and a big rock. Will this tank work? Please answer!
Pea Puffers are the only freshwater puffers. They also need to eat snails to keep their teeth ground down so they don’t get too long.
Oh, and my mom and I order our fish from liveaquaria.com. great site, we have never had an order we weren’t happy with. And there’s no way they would label a fish incorrectly.
The pleco would eat the leaves off the plants.
