Experiment converting corals to freshwater

[Jib]

This is like telling Elon musk he can't put chips in our brains to stop disabilities

This would actually be for the common good though, you're just going to be killing animals for no greater purpose (YouTube views and Likes don't count).

You know, there were freshwater jellyfish discovered in a lake a few years back, so who’s to say there can’t be other freshwater/brackish cnidarians, perhaps microorganisms?

Sharkbait19, people are too used to doing the same old stuff. They don't want to try anything new. There not even giving it a chance just saying oh u can't do that. Prove me wrong by doing it yourself and post me the dead coral. If nobody has tried it how do u know it won't happen? Animals can adapt to verious different things.

Yeah I read about that I think pretty interesting huh

Do it yourself pal and tell me when they die. Again I'll keep you posted and It will stick In the back of my mind of one of those people who said it can't be done. So I'll prove you wrong

Hahaha man that made me laugh, give me your email and I'll happily send you weekly updates :)

Also since u think I'm "killing living things" I think your absolutely delusional. Go to a lab and see what they do to mice lol, look at the glow fish which is a completely fabrication of an animal. So yeah I'll be killing living things... Man get a grip go read all the messages before u get on your high horse dummy

I've read the entire thread. The fact is, you'll prob kill corals. Corals are living things. Just because you don't live the same way that they do, doesn't mean they aren't alive. Scientists kill living things yes, but they have restrictions on how they do things, they spend god knows how many hours theorizing, researching etc. You're doing it "because you want to prove" something. lol Scientists work with a team of people, they bounce ideas etc etc. Why do I have to explain this to you?? You're a scientist, you should know...

Probably doesn't mean that it will happen. I bet your skeptical to see what happs but u just don't want to believe it. I don't see the pig problem. I'm not dumb I know exactly what I'm doing so for you to judge me and know exactly what's gonna happen baffles me. I mean, unless you are a time traveller and went to the future to see what happens... Lol

Open your eyes mind and start thinking possible

Why would I do this? I know they'll die. This is not how biology works. Did you get to biology class yet?

 

[Hincapiej4]

Do you know the meaning of the word skeptical?

Wishing something, or having "Positive feelings" about something doesn't mean it's going to happen. Science doesn't work that way, LIFE doesn't work that way. This argument is dumb, and I'm done with it.

1. Zoanthids are exepsionaly good at adapting

This is a nonsense platitude.

Do you have evidence that Zoanthids have any adaptability as far as salinity goes? Are there zoanthids living in brackish estuaries?

If Zoanthids DO have the biochemistry to handle regulating their osmotic pressure, why haven't they moved up into rivers? Why aren't the zoanthids native to the gulf of mexico up in the mississipi river and the rio grande and up in lake Okeechobee?



This is no different than "I have a theory that dogs can right themselves like cats. I'm going to start throwing them off buildings. Dogs are really agile"

If you don't understand the difference between a cnidarian evolving to tolerate freshwater over millions of years, and this dude tap-watering zooanthids in a 10g tank for youtube views, I don't know what to tell you. One is just not relevant to the other at all.

Well I've had them in especially high salinity up to 1.030 no way I can prove it to you, just have to take my word for it.


I was away on holiday and the water evaporated to the point the salinity was at the amount I said above, I had to slowly bring it back to 1.026.

So if they can tolarate high salinity why can't they take lower?

For the same reason you "tolerate" being at 100+ degrees.. You can't do that for very long, but at a certain point temp, it'll kill you outright. Why the hell are we having to explain this? What is going on in the school system here?

How long does it take an organism to evolve?

I dont mean to be rude, but what are your thoughts on the effects on the nervous system, osmoregulation, enzymes, when taking a freshwater fish and attempting to move it to saltwater or vice versa for corals. Im just curious as to how you see it being able to adapt to the changing conditions.

 

[flampton]

Hey my man why don't you practice breathing underwater? You can do it over a one to five year period.
Despicable...

There's no point in telling me that it's not going to work and that it's wrong. I've already went ahead with it. Keep u updated

Many generations.

Are your corals breeding sexually?

Not doing anything with a live fish, was a comment for people to talk about.

Apparently, you also cannot read. let me help you " I dont mean to be rude, but what are your thoughts on the effects on the nervous system, osmoregulation, enzymes, when taking a freshwater fish and attempting to move it to saltwater or vice versa for corals. "
