| john.stone Banned Posts: 1600 Kudos: 2332 Votes: 18 Registered: 03-Apr-2003  | Yeah... They do it because their smarter then us... They do it because they have to, to make more fish... We need all kinds of rules and dating to get it done... And on top of that we always need to get something out of it... Which in it's self is modified instinct tricking us into procreating the species... We are slaves to instinct as well... The only difference is we don't think we are... The selfishness of man will always keep the population up. Last edited by john.stone at 22-Oct-2004 00:16 |

Just another thing that needs to be done, like eating and avoiding predators. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

| Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003 | Unless there is some oddball fish that somehow reproduces without breeding There is a unisex (all-female) species of livebearer, but even they have to "pretend" to mate in order to trigger the development of the embryos.

| Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003 | They mate, some internally, but they don't recieve any pleasure from this and it is purely instinctive. What a dirty little mind you have... I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |
