Re: [GSAS-Member] L102 (Snowball) Pleco
I think the best way to reduce water use is by reducing intake of beef.
According to
Earthsave, it takes over 50 gallons of water per pound of beef produced as
I remember, mostly in washing
out all the manure in factory farms.
Actually, the number I found online was *2500* gallons of water per pund of
beef, which I find more believable than 50. Depends on your source. Another
comment there was that if the beef manufacturers water prices weren't
subsidized by taxpayers, beef would cost $89/lb.
But, we're digressing into eco-politics and I don't want to go there. I
still am convinced after keeping fish off and on for 40+ years that water
changes are key to happy fish and a successful breeding program. I, too,
have seen 3 year old killies in mason jars that never got water changes.
They didn't breed, and frankly didn't look too great, but they survived.
