South American cichlids are less aggressive than African cichlids, so they might do better in 60 gallon tank. And don't get Oscars, because they grow too big, too fast (so do most cichlids, for that matter). I don't know if that's helpful, or if you know it all already, but keep that kind of thing in mind.

This doesn't happen until sometime in the toddler stage, usually around the time the baby is on solid food and can make very basic gestures indicating preference.

 And how would you decide what constitutes a preference and what a gesture indicating that is? My baby brother, ever since he was about two months old (at least), has preferred lying on his right side as opposed to his left, and would sometimes cry when lain on the wrong side. Why is that type of preference different than a toddler pushing away food he doesn't like, or complaining about it?

     ^ ^Um...Most all observant Christians strongly support contraception. This includes most all Catholics. It's just a few ultraconservatives egged on by Jesuit dominated clergy (seeking to create social and political HAVOC in their host countries) who are a problem.

 The first statement is true, but since most Catholics are only nominally so, that's meaningless. And no, it isn't just a few ultraconservatives, it's most practicing Catholics who are  against it.

LOL, I've written characters like that too. Maybe you could use the Christian idea of a glorified body (which can pass through physical objects, but can also make contact with physical objects, and exists in both a physical and spiritual plane). Perhaps she's already died and rather than becoming a Force ghost, strictly speaking, she's adopted a new form of body (perhaps Force ghosts are able to form bodies if they wish). Or maybe she is a Force ghost, and Force ghosts can interact with their surroundings, like how we saw Obi-Wan sit on a log in ROTJ. That could explain a lot about her, as well as providing an explanation for Obi-Wan's "more powerful than you can possibly imagine" and his sitting on a log.

LOL, I love how you Americans need chillers in tropical tanks. Canadians would never dream of using them. :P

I love that snail in the second video that looks like it's trying to jump over the rock. Those guys are a lot more entertaining than Nerite snails.

It's too bad about your tank though. My grandpa has also had disasters with his fish hobby. One time, he introduced a wild fish, not thinking that it might be diseased. All 3000 or so of the guppies he had in that tank were dead the next morning.
