any biologists handy???

[chong2]

me and my wife were looking closly at our fish tank today and found these, all over throughout the gravel. we have had the tank running about 1 1/2 years now. im wondering if these are pests or part of the bio system. do you know what these are, are they parasites or are they a important part of the fish tank process? i tried getting the best shots i could. its hard with the glass. they are only in the gravel, there must be thousands of them. they are kinda quick, they remind me of sand fleas from the ocean.

I always laugh when I see this topic heading. It reminds me of Seinfeld when George tells a girl he is dating that he is a marine biologist. They are walking the beach and a whale is in the surf and they are yelling, "is there a marine biologist, is anyone a marine biologist?".......sorry, I thought it was funny.

STEAMED Ostarcods

4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, diced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
4-5 lbs.Ostarcods , cleaned and de-bearded
1 cup white wine
couple pinches of pepper
couple pinches of salt

Heat a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add oil. Wait until oil starts to smoke and add the onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, mussels, wine, parsley, salt and pepper. Cover pan immediately.
Give pan a good shake, and let steam for about 2 minutes. Check to see if the Ostarcods have opened; if not, let steam for another minute.

If some Ostarcods have not opened, discard them. Don't cook any longer then 3 minutes because Ostarcods are very easy to overcook and they become rubbery.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately

I think you need a high powered microscope, some micro-tweezers and a heck of alot of spare time to clean and debeard those little buggers!!

LOL, I'm still laughing over that one..... And a great response too!!!
