I would have been willing to take it into my community tank. Piranhas like most fishes are already near blind as is. There is no way a blind piranha will be able to harm a community tank, especially when the red belly species has such a disc shape that prevents it from fitting under anything like caves.

If I had to remove that fish I would grow a plant over it or put it with the compost.

..... my question is, why fucking kill the thing at all just because it went blind??

And I say this because I have NO understanding of fish WHATSOEVER.

And Kino, even in Finding Nemo, the pipe didn't necessarily or even look like it went "to" the ocean. The pipe just went through the ocean - Nemo snuck out of a crack in the pipe. I found the whole thing still VERY plausible and accurate. ^_^ Sorry, I gotta defend my Pixar.

The fish say that it went to the ocean but uh... most of Gil's ideas were only half-baked anyway.

To appease the toilet snakes?

if a snake

1. is in australia

2. has a black head

you should never go near it

... XD

^_^;;

I shall name my next Protector/Paladin character in an RPG Maxine

No, I think you got me right in your Class of Heroes game. I'm the sorta person that runs in, gets in as many hits as possible to make it easier for her team mates - and then promptly dies. T-T

@Nemo

I wasn't attacking Pixar, it was a reference to the fact that the movie made Clown fish a popular pet and prompted children to set their goldfish free by flushing them down the toilet. There were hundreds of incidents of children mistakingly thinking that toilet = freedom.

@Snakes

We have rattlesnakes here. I have a very early memory of sitting on the swing-set as a child and my mother standing a little ways away with a scared look on her face. She was telling me to be very still, because a rattlesnake had come up behind me and was just hissing away underneath my swing.

Then I remember we cut the head off and, according to Okie folklore, stuck the head and the body underneath two separate ten gallon buckets with bricks on top. Since a snake will reattached its head and eat you in your sleep or some nonsense, I don't know. Anyway, the next day the two buckets were undisturbed but the body was just gone.


ooooOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOooo....

the severed head of a venomous snake could technically still bite you, but getting bitten by a severed head is pretty fail

killing a snake in modern america is pretty fail to begin with. Just call animal control or something

last time I was in the desert, a rattlesnake came around, and I just got it on a dry branch and took it to a spot where it wouldn't bother anybody

who the hell am I to kill a snake for trying to live in its own habitat? Reptiles have gotten a shitty deal since the K-T extiction, they just tryin to live their life, why humans gotta give them shit
