Thank you, Randy.
It only takes a few mintues of time to figure out the truth.
Roy (the impersonater "Tynk"/ trouble maker), purposely spammed up the
several boards with screen names, per a few different email addresses
to get around filters, so people would just filter out anything with
the name Tynk in it.
He's done this to people for many years, and I am simply the next in
line.
He babbles on about how "I want to take over, or control the
group"....I have no idea what the heck he's talking about.
This stuff with the other ladies, I barely talked to them, and barely
ever do now.
The things he comes up with are so crazy sometimes, that I have to
wonder if he's bi-polar or possibly a D.I.D. (multiple personality
disorder) headcase.
He literally went from posting friendly with me to attacking me with
these vulgar posts he so often makes.
I would like nothing than to keep on discussing *fish* in any of the
fish related news groups, but he has such a problem with the fact that
he couldn't run me off with his vulgar attacks, that he has gone
insane.
He was recently on a forced "time-out" and during this period the
group got back to normal.
We ALL discussed fish, nothing else.
Then he came back with a vengeance and hasn't stopped.
He also decided to impersonate my screen name (with more than one
email address), and post a nasty reply to somebody so that they would
it was me.
This is how childish this guy is.
The very fact that he thinks *I* need to apologize to him for
something shows how truly twisted his mind is.
He claimed he'd stop behaving this way if I did, but he has said the
verysame to others he harrasses, they apologized for something they
didn't do, just to make him stop....but he didn't. He continues his
vulgar harrassment of these people to this day.
I refuse to aoplogize for something he has made up in his head.
Besides, it wouldn't make any difference in his bahvior anyway. He's
proven that himself.

If this is a new set-up keep testing for ammonia. Don't add more fish until
you know your tank is cycled.

Online is better. Chain stores are not known for having knowledgeable
employees. They're well known for giving out terrible information and
advice.

The pet store recommended a

I only give my koi and goldfish oranges. The other fish have no interest in
fruit.

Before you get too far into this, and specifically before adding more
fish, I wonder if anyone has explained the nitrogen cycle to you, and/or
told you that specific types of bacteria must be given time to grow and
multiply in the tank and filter before you add too many fish, in order to
consume the deadly poisonous waste (ammonia compounds) that the fish will
produce. If not, you'll soon be complaining of dead fish and wondering
why... Do a Google search on "nitrogen cycle" and "tank cycling" or similar
keywords and read thoroughly. Fish produce ammonia (deadly poison) as waste
product; one type of bacteria converts ammonia to nitrite also deadly but
less so); another bacteria type then converts the nitrite to nitrate (note
differences in spelling) which is much less harmful and gets removed
(diluted) at regular partial water changes. This process is known as the
nitrogen cycle. I would not add so many fish in such a short time to a tank
that has been recently set up. It takes about six weeks usually to "cycle a
tank" (grow the bacteria) and many people prefer to do it without fish (the
fish much prefer this method also). Google "fishless cycling" for
information about this (even though you already got fish, it is good to
know).

Wow, thank you all.....excellent and very helpful information! I looked up
"recycling". I had no idea. This site is wonderful and you all are quite
knowledgable. Thank you again for helping me to have a safe and happy
environment for my fish............oh and keeping them alive!
