The goal of BC Vote (http://www.bcvote.ca) is to provide timely information about the current state of political affairs in the province of British Columbia. Admittedly, news outlets and information sources often tend to have a bias towards a specific political party.

With BC Vote, we attempt to provide a pluralistic, non-partisan, and non-biased (as much as possible) panoramic view of the political landscape of the province of British Columbia as we near the 39th Provincial General Eelection (May 12th. 2009).

The project is funded by BC Heritage Law (http://www.bcheritagelaw.com) and the site is published by Nicole Garton-Jones, designed by Redwerks (http://redwerks.org) and edited by popular Vancouver blogger and academic researcher Raul Pacheco-Vega (http://hummingbird604.com).

In this video I film an Otocinclus: algae-eating catfish in an aquarium that is much bigger and longer then my cellphone – a Motorola Krzr (MOTOKRZR K1) which is 1.65 in width X 4.5 Inches length.

I estimate that the Octocinclus Algae – Eating Catfish is at least 3 X bigger than my phone! The rest of the goldfishes were surprisingly huge for mere aquarium fish!

The well fed goldfish were housed in a gigatic tank located at the Knight and Day Restaurant on Lougheed and Boundary in Vancouver.
