| Not to mention...if someone was hell bent against...well, trees for instance... and decided to start wiping them out.. the kind of chain reaction it would have on the environment.
Basically, your tank is a mini eco system. Now, you can keep the beneficial "bugs" in there, that will feed your fish, eat fish poop etc. or you can wipe them out. (I could tell you exactly how to do that...but I will not). If you wipe them out, that "niche" WILL be filled by another life form and that second "tennant" may not be as friendly.
A real example of this just happened to me this past Summer. I have TONS of chipmunks in my yard. I wanted them gone. They ate from my garden, they made holes everywhere. So... I did many things, and yes, reduced the population. However, I then had LOTS of problems with German Yellow Jacket wasps, and black water snakes, who, in turn, took up residence in their dens. I was better off with the cute lil' chipmunks.
I dunno...I may be one of those werido's but... yeah... that tang.. it's purdy... but that corner...filled with the swarm of bugs..and the wormies poking out...THAT has got my interest.
