first thing that came to mind

chicken lips

but I think Travis nailed it... bad translations.

Shagsbeard · 06/23/2007, 09:01 AM

The moderators need to make policy against using babblefish to "translate" articles. I use the term "translate" in the losest possible meaning. There's a place for babblefish, but this forum isn't one of them.

Nano Chris · 06/23/2007, 09:12 AM

I did a search on Google, and found another site with his user name, and i think hes from Taiwan.

UntamedBreez · 06/23/2007, 10:24 AM

Could it be....
my fish has ick? he is swimming on his side all the time.
Help!

UntamedBreez · 06/23/2007, 10:33 AM

Pelyu...I hope this translates right for you.

Take the fish with ick...looks like white spots/dots all over body/fins
out of your big tank and put into little tank, use same water from big tank
give the water copper drops that you buy from fish store
follow directions from the bottle dont give to much
.30 ppm is enough, not more
take all carbon the black pellets out of filter when using carbon
garlic liquid can help the fish too, makes immune system stronger

blot60 · 06/23/2007, 01:38 PM

Maybe he said that his fish is constantly listening in on their conversations and wont mind its own bussines. It always follows them around and wont leave them alone.

bues0022 · 06/23/2007, 02:07 PM

What I got out of the gibberish was he was having a debate with his family about the aisan carp. When you boat around on the lower mississippi (though it's spreading fast) near dusk, the aisan carp will jump out of the water, sometimes into boats and hit people. He's trying to figure out why. The reason why is because the fish become agitated with the sound from the boat (pressure waves if you will) and jump out of the water to try to avoid what they think is a predator. There is no large eating demand for the fish, and they are destroying native fish habitat. His english is something aweful, or his translating program is bad.

I went home for the weekend. I can't be at work all the time

I thought that I would check in on our English-Challenged friend to make sure he/she is getting the help he/she needs, and I found this thread.

Translates back into Traditional Chinese/Taiwanese

Which translates to...... I'm not sure. It's not a latin based language. On the other hand, I think someone has already translated the best I could do. If I had to guess a translation, it would be:

My fish has an infection, and is flashing his sides. Please respond

Thanks goes out to the person who found out that Pelyu was Taiwanese.

Peylu

English
This seems like your fish has an infection of Cryptocaryon irritans; also named Marine Ich. You will want to seperate the fish in to a different aquarium and proceed by treating the aquarium and fish with copper, hyposalinity (water with little salt [1.009]), or any other methods you can find locally. Good luck.

Well, I guess the translations didn't translate through Reef Central

Hopefully it will read on Pelyu's computer.

If you're flying down the highway, and your wings fall off your boat how many pancakes can you stack on top of a green doghouse?
