plz help i dont know what to do

No…. not long-term.No room for 1… let alone all 3… in a 50g.
It would be a risky proposition to even do it when they are small.

Really no solution … bigger tank or give away/store credit..

You didn’t say which Peacock Bass.Even the smallest species needs 150-180g for 1.The Arowana? …guessing it’s the Silver Arowana,you’d need a 150-180g minimum there too.
Tank required to PROPERLY keep these together? …. 500g

If you knew that tourism could help save the rainforest from destruction,?

would you personally travel to the Amazon every five years, and encourage all of your friends and family to do the same?

If I had the money to do so…then absolutely. My parents have been there on a couple mission trips and love it. We have a beautiful picture of Igwasu (SP?) Falls in our living room.

Which is worst, to be lost in the jungle(Amazon) or stuck on top of the mountain(K2)?

I’ve been in both, and I can certainly say that being lost in the Amazon jungle is the worst. Eventually people will gather and get you from the mountain, or very slowly you’ll go down, even if it takes days but you will. Meanwhile in a mountain you could seek for shelter on a ledger or in a cave, dig for fresh roots for water and food…
Lost in the jungle you’re at the mercy of everything around you: Dangerous animals and insects, yes, dangerous insects; dangerous plants, deep and terrible waters infected with all types of creatures and a bottom full of mud and holes. And a very long list that will make you shriek. Being lost in the jungle also means there’s no human contact. No one could help you if you had a bite or an infection or a simple twisted ankle that will be infected with time because in a jungle You Cannot Stop and Camp or Sit and Wait, you just cannot unless you want to perish without "anyone" noticing it…

Inca Historical Tour - The amazing development in Puruchuco architecture

August 28, 2009 - 7:19 pm No Comments

Puruchuco took its building tradition from the Ychsmas culture that developed in the Rimac and Lurin river valleys during the late Intermediate Period from 900 to 1450 AD.

From the Ychmas the builders took materials and construction techniques, adapting them to produce their own designs, like Pyramids with Ramps.

Mud was used as the main building material.
The technique used to build the walls was called tapial or adobon and required the use of large molds or formwork, which were filled with mud. Once it dried the mold was removed, leaving behind a large mud block.

Repeating this process on each side, or on top of another block, the builders could form long, high and very strong walls, reaching heights of up to 7 meters.or 23 feet.
This technique is similar to the way todays builders work with concrete.
