I have a guess on the fish question... not sure of the real name of it but how about one of those side sucking algae eaters (the ones used in aquariums)

Hypostomus Plecostomus. Yes, I had to google to find the first name and the correct spelling of Plecostomus.
But, I'll go with Gold Fish too.

And PAGES of cut and paste crap disputing the 'Correct' answer afterwards...
I've seen/read it all before over, and over, and over again.
The idea was to keep the 'Twins' busy for a while so we could discuss actual Jeep issues,
Stuff like MAP sensor problems, ect. without having pages and pages of spell checking, punctuation corrections, cut and paste articles that were WAY off topic...

Seen them (and more to the point SMELLED THEM) in the military, and I've read about them, Just not an 'Internet Expert' on the subject...
They smell so bad most other animals don't want anything to do with them,
BUT, I've seen them move as fast as a skunk does when it forages when on the jungle floor to avoid being eaten...
If you are down wind of one, especially in a rain forest/jungle, you can smell it for over 1/2 mile away!
And that's saying something in a Jungle because EVERYTHING stinks!
Having fast twitch muscle and USING fast twitch muscle are two different things...
I have it, but I'm as lazy as humanly possible!

the fish question is really bugging me... I want to know the answer
I knew it wasn't goldfish, give a gold fish enough food and room to grow and eventually you'll have a carp... but I have seen them not eat before so I knew it wasn't goldfish.
give us a hint TR

Since Thor has thrown himself in the ring with taz and dale as "Judge Of All Things",
I will accept an answer from him too on the rest of this,
------------------------------ Which mechanical patent has raked in the most money down through the years?
What color cloths are most likely to get you mosquito bit?
What Fish is ALWAYS hungry?

Atta boy TR, I read books also, especially the N.E.C. and keep current, but my second coice is firearms, reloading, being self sufficient. You're correct if it wasn't for giggle most wounldn't know the propaganda and dribble thats there, I personally don't use giggle, wahoo, or whats his name, books are the way to go, black and white, sometimes color but after the first couple of revisions they pretty much got it right, keep up the good work.

That's ME! Never ending quest to explain what I see happen!
If rifle cases split, I want to know why,
If brakes fail I want to know why,
If something isn't supposed to 'Work', I want to know why...
Don't really care what other people think about things,
And I'll take information from ANY source,
I'm actually partial to old text books that break things down to the basics,
And no scrap of Mechanical, Electrical or Chemical information is to arcane for me to pay attention to!
Might just explain something else when I'm trying to count to 21 with my pants on next time!
Many of our 'Experts' here can't keep up with the conversations in the areas they profess to be 'Experts' in...
There are 'Ignition' guys that can't figure out what diodes do, or how an ignition coil produces 40,000 volts from a 12 volt input...
Anyway, I try to keep it in Laymans terms,
(Pinch this, screw in that, test for this, check for that)
Instead of pages of 'Cut & Paste' crap that doesn't have much to do with the subject at hand!
I know just enough to get a small inkling of how much I DON'T KNOW!
If you want to trade messages about reloading or firearms, let me know and I'll direct you to an UNRESTRICTED site on such things...
Self sufficiency, alternative energy, firearms, ect.
LOVE my garden, LOVE my solar panels (Wish I had more!),
LOVE tinkering with alternative energy, windmills, micro-hydro, ect.
LOVE the idea of being self sufficient, although I probably never will come close,
But I do most of my trade locally, and I LOATHE 'Wally-World' and the other 'China-Mart' stores...
Horses go 'Clip-Clop',
Cows go 'Moo',
Garden grown food is good,
And Jeeps go 'SNAP!'
Just the way things SHOULD be!

Hey guys I am sorry to use this post as some half-arsed pis$ing match. It seems to have upset some of the audience way too much.
Go ahead Aaron, I have no answers to your questions.
