Steve Irwin was a great person.

He understood animals better than most and cared for them.
He didn't turn animals into some profit game, he still took care of them.
And in the face of the public he didn't change his traditions even though it lost him money.

The whole world suffers from losing him.

Yeah one of the bumblebees died last night and the other one isn't doing as good either. Right before I bought them there was some tragicness in a ripped bag incident. And I believe and overdose in stress coat. The other problem {aside from it being dead} would be the fact thatI have never seen this ...

the tank they would be in would be ten gallon if they move away from the guppies
and I have had mollies before and I found them way too agressive
atleast the sailfin mollies
including I didn't like how little room they had in the twenty so I don't want to put them in the ten.

Okay thank you, would they manage better with the tank that has guppies and a bristlenose plec?
Cause if not I will either have to give them away, or make a new small tank for them.

I was in a local pet store that I don't usually use due to their treatment of the fish... But anyways, I saw something called a bumblebee goby and I asked how much they were and the guy didn't know so he said '3.99 each' so I got two cause that's all they had. They are tiny, and I am just wondering ...

You can barely tell it ...

I'm pretty sure you'll have a hard task blocking enough water-flow from the heater to "cut it off". If it starts to grow too wild, just pick some out and give it to a friend or something... I'm sure you'll be fine planting it around the back of the tank. Thankies.^^ I will see if I can order some ...
