woa. that's so weird. kinda disgusting to think about having a 7 foot worm in your reef system.

Makes you wonder how big they can grow.

There are these worms that live in craters in the ocean where heat from the earth's core comes in so its extremely hot and the pressure is really high and they recently found living createres down there, and up until now it was thought that everything living relyed on the sun. but everything down there relys on erm... uh i forget what it was but some of the critters they found down there was this like 8 foot long worm. and its pretty cool because if the sun exploded the earth would freeze over and everything would die, except for that little ecosystem down there would keep on living like nothing ever happened. it was this movie thing at a a muisam (sp?) and my science teacher was talking about it.

Those tubeworms as well as many others inhabit the hydrothermic vent region of the benthos zone. Down there their is a certian bacteria that live on minerals given off by the vents instead of light that is the basis of all life down there. You'll also find shrimp, fish, shellfish, craps, and even octopi. It was the topic of my science project last year

That worm you're talking about must be weird (i wouldn't know, my computer can't load the link)

I knew that in Australia you can find worms underground about 10 feet long, but fancy one living in an aquarium unoticed. __________________ If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded: Serrasalmus Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the exception). I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
