Have you got a filter? A filter and few algae eaters keeps the tank fresh.

Beware of rogue algae eaters, those fuckers can turn from cute wee things to complete psychos.

Its the chinese sucking loach you need to watch out for:

I bought 3 of these wee things from a pet shop to clean the tank, they started off great then things changed.

1 of them grew faster than the others and started harrassing the other 2, those 2 took to hiding mostly but whenever they came out he was on them in a flash.

He got even bigger, about 4 inches long, they stayed small and he began to chase them out of the hiding places. Fish dont tolerate stress well and it will kill them, those 2 wee guys turned up dead one day after each other.

I have a castle in my tank and this motherfucker moved in and guards it with his life, god forbid any other fish goes near it or he chases them round and round the tank.
I had 5 different types of goldfish, they were social and boisterous, it was a nice little community for a while.
I never really thought that him chasing the fish was that big a deal, over the course of a few years 2 died and I just assumed that was natural. But with less fish I noticed that he would go for them even when not near his castle. Another died last year, he was really old but I was still suprised to wake up and find him dead, he looked healthy beforehand  and the other seemed fine.

Then I had 2 goldfish left and this cunt in the castle, now 6 inches long and chunky.

I noticed that he seems to harrass one fish more than the other and he rarely left it alone. The last few months the goldfish started showing real signs of stress and damage to his scales and eyes. I isolated him and he seemed to recover after a while so I returned him to the tank and sure enough that fucker started harrassing him again.
I started googling it and discovered as these things grow the become more and more terratorial and aggressive and develop at taste for the protective slime coating on other fish, even a taste for flesh and eyes.

I have been trying to figure out what to do with this thing recently, and just the other night I was feeding the fish and there was only one goldfish, I looked around for the other and found it dead, inside the castle with a big wound on its side

All I fucking wanted one a wee algae eater to keep the tank tidy

  "  I haven't been involved much in any of our merch and the reasons are it's been a mess legally for years. Unbeknownst to most of you I was recently sued again by Duff and Slash for some murky Merckiness that I was unaware and not involved in. Fortunately that was resolved but it got ugly and took a while going into arbitration.

    Merck shifted our merch from some of our newer styles to incorporating more of the old with some scam that actually and surprisingly lost sales in comparison but that's old news.

    What I look forward to is incorporating the new artwork into our merch and getting some for myself. I think u'll like a lot of it. My vote's for the How Are You grenade and the Sorry automatic rifle artwork on shirts etc."

Do you think that means that the pistols and roses design used to promote the 06 tour could have infringed an agreement with the old Guns about the original logo?

Mabye they have agreed to allow continued use of the pistol and roses design, but would be entitled to a percentage of merchendise sales, thats why in 2001/2002 everything was redesigned. It was only in 2006 the old logo and font were "incorporated"  back into designs.

Axl also seems to acknowlege, slightly, that Duff and Slash suing had some justification and its now resolved.
Seems like this was Merck's idea and he fucked up, could be another reason he got the boot.

"Axl: There's a few reasons and none of them all that big and definitely not in spite or to slight anyone.

1st off obviously I knew people liked the song but the Brian appreciation really only showed up in force publicly after we had moved on in Guns. In fact Not many seemed to care and most comments were aimed at why Slash in their opinions should be here.

Brians solo itself is a personal fave of mine and I really couldn't understand as he's such a rock legend why it wasn't openly appreciated more at the time.

In actuality all that feel and emotion referred to now had a lot to do with Sean and I and the parts I chose out of Brian's different runs, versions, practice runs etc to make sure we had those elements in one version. It's entirely constructed from edits based around one specific note Brian hit in a throw away take. And though Brian seems to have warmed a bit to it at least publicly he was unfortunately none to pleased at the time with our handiwork.

I remember looking at Brian standing to my left and him staring at the big studio speakers a bit aghast saying "But that's not what I played."

Sean Beavan and I were not in any way tring to mess with Brian we just did what we do and then try and do our best to stand up for our decisions. "

I think its about liars and haters basically.

Axl never denied it was about the fans either, just not all fans. He used that buzz word in quotation marks "the fans", like Jarmo and co do - *cough "the fans" this, and the "so called" "fans" that blah blah.
