Now that I would like to go back on birth control, which have you heard causes the least amount of weight gain/water retention. Seems every one I look into someone has gained 50 pounds from!

Also, I don't believe I lost all the weight from quitting BC, I hadn't really tried hard to diet beforehand. I can't blame my weight gain on my BC pills either, I was pathetic about eating and not working out. I DO feel that the BC I was on limited how much weight I was able to lose. I was on Desogen. Any help is MUCH appreciated, condoms are way too irritating for me!

was feeding the oscars a frozen bloodworm chunk, and while watching them noticed some parasites of some sort flourishing along the bottom sides of my tank. The are very small, about the size of a mechanical pencil's point of lead and white. They swim all around on the sides and bottom of the tank under a plant. What are these, are they dangerous to my fish, and what can I do to rid my tank of them?

They are about the size of a grain of salt, some smaller, and when magnified appear to have the same shape as a baby tadpole. They stay within an inch of the gravel on the bottom of the tank.

They are having nothing to do with my fish also. In fact, the catfish appears to eat them.

After a few minutes after dying, it will start again. I think it may be a problem related to it flooding with gas, because the smell of gas will be very strong. The further I drive it after dying, the more and more frequent the stalling becomes. Any idea's on what's wrong with my pup??
