There are snipes though!!
They live on the East Coast....a type of shore bird...seriously...look it up in a bird book and you will see! No joke!oh oh oh!!! anyone who has worked in a fish store has probably heard this if they sell saltwater stuff! "can i put a nemo and a dori fish in a goldfish bowl??" then i point the the foot long blue hippo tang in our display tank and say "this fish gets huge" and the response i get is "they only grow to the size of the container, right?".....people...oh man...

the term sniper originated from this bird
this bird is very illusive and hard to spot.
back in the day in england if you could stalk and kill one of these you where considered a true "sniper".
I can see it now. A bunch of guys out on a beach in camo trying to kill birds. haha!DeLgAdO said:

I have seen these elusive creatures! They are called "Waterfowl Hunters"
In MN, you go out in the freezing cold weather, eat beef jerky, and blast birds out of the sky. Sounds fun, but in that weather it can get boring and....COLD.
WyldFya said:I used to work for an Ace hardware, and we had a customer come in looking to make there own filter for an aquarium. The part they needed from me was the hosing and the pump itself. I took them over to the hose and they wanted the pretty stuff that was orange... Crude oil rubber gas line.Anyway half an hour later and a lot of talking, they ended up getting 1.5" vinyl tubing.
Next on to the pumps. They wanted to make sure that this "canister would have enough power to push the water through, and to keep a good water current. They wanted something that did at least 2500 gallons per hour!!! I showed them what we had that had that high a rating for minor load, and 4' lift, a 3/4 hp utility pump. I then decided I better inquire what size the tank was expecting some ungodly 300 gallon tank. nope 15 gallon tank. I don't know about any of you but with a light load at 2500 g/h seems a little high. I told them that the flow rate was a little high for that size tank, well that wasn't good enough for them, so they bought the pump.
The last inquiry I made before washing my hands of it was to find out what the canister was going to be made of. A freaking butter tub container. Good thing I got commissions. That poor tank probably ended up with no water in it, and the filter probably exploded, and the fish dead on the floor. Apparently no one decided to mention when DiYing that you have to have some form of common sense!
Some nerve
