sapose to make it ok, but all my fish keep dying in there.

I think it may be the radiation coming from the Volcano. Even though the
volcano is *PUT OUT* maybe there is still radiation coming from it.

No, the COB is made to specifically neutralize the radiation.

Nope temp and radiation is not a factor in the fishes dying. The only thing
that I see that might kill the fish in the volcano is leaving the air hatch
to the swamp and garden area open. The fish will swim out of the flooded
area and die from lack of water. I tested this COB before with my Zummy and
gold fish. In all my runs, they thrive if left alone. They only way the
population decreases is when norns eat them to extinction :-)

Is the volcano for C1? If so, where can I get it? Thanks.

No, the volcano is only in C2.

Hi Jay! (and all)

Great COBs! Spent two days and nights this weekend with a flooded volcano and
two beautiful mernorns making guppies, er, babies.

Now here's the weird thing. I had set up the whole world to be a pleasure
dome for the mers - the flooded volcano and lots of Zummy fish and goldfish
dispensors everywhere. Well....those durn mers don't eat as many fish as I
expected and they sure like to "hit dispensor". I have several million
(zillion?) fish in the Eastern Ocean now (that's where the mers are living)
and the game is running like it's brain dead. (I moved the dispensors to
another spot.) No remover for the goldies and the zummies? Geez, sure am
getting Ecology 101 all over again here.

Is the amphibious Grendel still a danger to the mers? I've been afraid to put
them in the Volcano.

The Western Ocean is cool - BORLAND came by three times while I was watching
to gobble fishies and hole up in his burrow.

Think I can move the mers (they are 2.5 hours old or so) to the Western Ocean
and then open the air lock in the Eastern Ocean or something to kill off the
fish? I tried throwing them hahaha one at a time hahaha on to the pier hahaha.

(I have 45 minute old versions of the same mers in a back up directory -
Should I just start a new world?)

(I used to run a public aquarium and I tried to keep the fish ALIVE there -
but this is ridiculous. <G>)

Another obliquely related question - those pesky boing toys in the Western
ocean - nearly killed two mers with them getting sprung to land. I put the
electric (ugly) gates on them but didn't turn them on - the Norns seem to
hate getting hit by them (do they get hurt? angry?) so will they block the
spring toys just by being there? I HATE losing critters via suffocation.

And the dang porcupine fish - every time an alarm goes off the fish throws my
already freaking out mernorn up on the piers. Geez. Is it the alarm that does
that? Do you know what the porcupine fish is monitoring? All of a sudden the
mer will be floating up and there's the fish throwng it out of the water.

Say I flood the whole world - where do you raise the babies?

I hope that I've at least amused you with this and hope you and/or the rest of
you C2 geniuses can help me out here.

I forget where, but you can get a cob to get rid of the springs (there to help the
reg norms not to drown I think) As for the fish problem, I know this would be a
pain, but couldn't you export your mers, make sure you save a back up of all your
cobs, then uninstall and reinstall your C2, get it all set up again the way you
want, with out as many fish, and then import your mer's, at the same age they were
when you exported them? I have only had C2 for a week and never had C1, so I
don't know much, this is just a thought.

All my COBs have removers. Just go to the injector kit and click the remove
button for Zummy Fish Launcher, it removes both the fish and the launcher.
The Zummy Fish COB has a query routine that checks the population of the
Zummies in each ocean. If there are more than 6-8 fish in the oceans then
all new eggs will not hatch. In the Large Ocean, however, their is actually
two parts of the ocean and therefore the program checks each part
separately. The over population occurs when fish hatch in the lower section
and swim up to the high section, thus freeing the population for more zummy
fish to hatch.

As for the Goldfish and Porcupine fishes, I did not make them. You'll have
to check with the makers on them.

Hope this helps

JayD
