Tips on Blue Spot Butterflyfish Care
The blue spot butterflyfish or Chaetodon plebius is a member of the family Chaetodontidae. They are indigenous to the coral reef systems found in the shallower regions of the Indo-Pacific. This fish has a bright yellow disk shaped body with slightly darker horizontal markings and a patch of sky blue on the upper mid-section of its body. It has a single vertical stripe that runs down through its eyes toward the lower part of its body. It also has an "eye spot" where the caudal attaches to its body. This eye-spot is meant to confuse predators. Its real eye is almost camouflaged in the vertical stripe. The blue spot will grow to a length of approximately six inches long. The blue spot butterflyfish is...
Fishes are delicate creatures and need the appropriate environment to grow. You owe it to the fish and yourself to do some research before setting an aquarium. Searching on the internet would reveal a plethora of information and guidance on fish keeping and aquarium maintenance. Most people make the selection for the kind of fish on the basis of how beautiful a fish looks to them. Though, this seems cute enough but this can be dangerous. Most saltwater fishes are the ones that are beautiful but here you should also note that saltwater fish cannot live in freshwater. And strangely most beautiful looking fishes are poisonous too. Having said this, there are freshwater fishes that don't go together...
How to Test For PH in Your Aquarium
An important part of maintaining an aquarium is keeping track of its pH levels. This amount denotes the acidity or basicity of the tank water. As an aquarist, it is important to know the importance of tank water pH levels to the health of the whole aquarium itself. In fish only setups, pH levels may be of lesser importance as long as it does not fluctuate or drop below 7.8 but in reef aquariums, it can be a make or break factor. The pH of a substance generally denotes the capacity of hydrogen (H+) ions to react. Lower pH readings mean greater concentrations of H+ in a substance. This amount is often associated with levels of hydronium (H3O+) ions in a substance. In pH readings greater than 7, most...
A Complete Guide to Marine Fish Keeping
Marine Aquarium System INTRODUCTION Setting up aquariums at home as a piece of decoration has been a very common practice. This, not only enhances the beauty of our room, but adds life to our room also. If you think more in depth, this small piece of decoration can be categorized into a number of types depending on the differences in set-up and constitution. A 'Marine Aquarium' is a type which has to be decorated with marine plants and animals.

Basic Criteria for Fishkeeping Purchasing a new fish tank is exciting and fun. If you starting up and bringing home a fish for the kids, or even for your own aquarium, be sure to place your fish in it's new home pronto. Don't delay it's imperative to get your fish home or it may overheat to room temp and die. Make sure your aquarium is completely set up and ready to go before you place your fish in it's new home. It's not a good idea to plop your fish into the aquarium because it needs time to adjust to the temperature of the water. So I recommend placing the bag from the pet store into the aquarium and let it float so the fish can slowly adjust to the temperature of the water. This should take...
Catfish in a 10 Gallon Aquarium
When you are dealing with a smaller tank, the choice of a bottom fish depends, to a great extent, on the tank's present and planned inhabitants. Not necessarily in fish alone, but in live plants as well. When there are no plants in the planned aquascape, there is little chance you may be bringing in pests such as snails, so that problem is not a factor for consideration. For my most recent aquarium set-up, the Fluval Edge, which holds only 6 U.S. gallons when filled right to the top, I added a juvenile Botia lohachata as the scavenger. The tank is well planted and bringing snails into the ecosystem with the live plants, even well rinsed posed a distinct possibility. As a matter of fact, I found an...
Water conditions can be greatly improved by fully planting a tank, as nitrite ammonia, and nitrate are some of the nutrients that plants consume. This helps balance the beneficial bacteria levels, so if there will always be a buffer to make sure things do not get too out of control. A fully planted tank will also induce spawning as it will replicate their natural environment and also allow for hiding and spawning locations. If you do decide to keep plants I would start with an easy to keep low light plant such as Water Sprite, which grow like a weed pretty much regardless of your setup (it will literally grow out of my tank if I don't prune it). A stock fluorescent light fixture left on 8-12 hours a...
Tips on Labidochromis Care
Labidochromis caeruleus is a member Cichlidae to the family morer commonly known as a cihclid. The Labidochromis is native to Lake Malawi in Africa. Lake Malawi is situated between Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania. It is the third largest lake on the continent of Africa and the eight largest in the world. The Labidochromis is part of a group of fish collectively referred to as African cichlids or Malawi cichlids. The Labidochromis is commonly called an electric yellow cichlid due to it vibrant yellow palette. Its colors are almost as brilliant as that of the saltwater faring yellow tang. Labidochromis are referred to as a mbuna. Mbuna means rockfish in the native tongue of the Tonga people from...
Tips on Kribensis Care and Spawning
Kribensis or Pelvicachromis pulcher are of the family Cichlidae more commonly referred to as cichlids. They are native to the waters of West Africa, primarily found in Nigeria. They can be found in anywhere from free flowing to brakish water. Kribensis are also referred to as dwarf African cichlids, purple cichlids, and kribs an abbreviation of their species name. Cichlids are among the most numerous and varied species on Earth. Over 1,300 species have thus far been identified and classified. Kribs are very popular among freshwater aquarists because of their almost saltwater quality coloration. Unlike most African cichlids, kribs have a temperament conducive to community living. They will adapt...
AQUARIUM: Start with as large an aquarium as you can afford. There is a very BASIC priciple (this only applies to beginners), that is to have 1-2 inches of NARROW bodied fish per FILTERED aquarium gallon. Goldfish are dirty and fatter, so I would triple this with them (3"). This also only applies to a standard rectangular aquarium. Obviously longer fish need more tank width and length. I would decrease the amount of fish proportional to the gallons in a tall aquarium or hexagon aquarium. Remember, many fish purchased can grow much larger than your original purchase size (ex: goldfish), so keep this in mind too. FILTERS: I always recommend two filters minimum per aquarium for redundancy and for...
The Importance of Calcium, Kh, and Magnesium in...
Many aquarists overlook the need for calcium, electrolytes, magnesium and the effect of a proper KH (Carbonate hardness) in their freshwater aquarium. KH is basically the buffering capacity of your aquarium, a Kh above 80 ppm helps prevent sudden drops in ph (You can convert dH [German hardness] ppm by multiplying your dH by 17.9). This is especially important with livebearers, goldfish, African cichlids, brackish and many other freshwater fish. The production of Nitrates (nitric acid) will slowly reduce your ph, but a proper KH will keep a more stable ph. This is important to note, if your KH is low and your ph has been dropping, a large water change (don't get me wrong, water changes are VERY...
Learn How to Breed Cichlids
I like to say breeding African Cichlids is all about preparing the right kind of environment for them. The closer your aquarium comes to representing the natural habitat of African Cichlids (which consists of 2 warm lakes in Africa; Malawi and Tanganyika) Well how do you create similar conditions as in a warm African lake in your aquarium? First of all you need a water heater. You should have one anyways even if you don't want your Cichlids to breed. Unless the temperature in your house is around 79F what I doubt. Temperature of water sets the mood of your Cichlids. The warmer the water the more active and aggressive they are but they also have higher desire to mate and breed. If your water is too...
African Tropical Fish
Have you been searching for premium African tropical fish? There is a huge collection of beautiful tropical fish from this freshwater zone. Below mentioned are some models of the various kinds obtainable which can add to the grace of any aquarium. A very popular African tropical fish is known as cichlids. This contains African Butterfly cichlids, Congo dwarf cichlids and jewel cichlids. In addition to these, there are numerous cichlids like Fuelleborn cichlid, Peacock cichlid and many more from the Rift Valley. These sorts of fish are popular for having diverse colors and their pugnacity. Usually these fish do not endure others of the same type in their tank but they even assault the fish which...
African Cichlid Water Changes
Water quality and diet are the two keys to keeping healthy African cichlids. Weather your aquarium is replicating the waters of Lake Malawi, Tanganyika or Victoria; you must maintain the proper pH and hardness over time. If the water changes are not done properly, these can migrate to dangerous levels over time. I have always changed 20% or more of the tanks water on a weekly basis. This may be a little more than is needed. I have found that to properly clean the crushed coral in my 55 gallon tanks, this is how much is removed by the gravel vacuum. I generally keep my cichlids in 55 gallon tanks and do water changes in increments of 5 gallons. I do the water changes in increments of 5 gallons...
If you have decided to set up an African cichlid tank, odds are that this is not your first aquarium. I first decided to keep African cichlids after seeing some red zebras and yellow labs in a pet shop and wondering why these colorful fish were not in the salt water section. I had never seen such colorful fish that were not saltwater fish. African cichlids are also a very interesting to watch. They are a territorial fish with a bit of an attitude. This can be handled by proper stocking of your aquarium. First you must decide on which of the three lakes you want to set your aquarium up to imitate. African cichlids come from Lake Tanganyika, Lake Victoria and Lake Malawi. All three of these lakes have...
Freshwater Discus fish are beautiful and unique aquarium fish. They come in a variety of wonderful colors and have personality to boot! Many people think that aquarium fish are unaware of what goes on outside the tank. When you start your discus tank you will soon learn that this is not true! Discus fish are very reactive to people and will follow your movements around the room. They are very energetic and will even eat out of your hand. Despite what you may have heard, Discus fish are not difficult to take care of as long as you follow a few basic rules.

What Happens When You Get Too Much Omega 6?
Omega 3 and omega 6 are two essential fatty acids needed by the body. However, did you know that too much omega 6 is actually bad for the body? These fatty acids are not produced by the body so we need to get them through our diet. While omega 3 is abundantly found in fatty fish like tuna, salmon, hoki, and herring and in fish oil supplements, omega 6 can be found in poultry, eggs, baked products, vegetable oils, cereals, nuts, and whole grain breads. With today's lifestyle and diet, most people are actually getting too much omega 6 while not getting enough omega 3 fatty acids. The thing about omega 3 and omega 6 is there needs to be a balance between these two. Omega 3 fatty acids are known for...

It is therefore essential to know what to look for when you buy Omega3 supplements. Omega-3 capsules are essentially...
An increasing global environmental problem, overfishing is defined by the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996 as "a rate or level of fishing mortality that jeopardizes a fishery's capacity to produce." In other words, it is what happens when so many fish are caught that the population can't reproduce enough to replace them. As a result of overfishing, entire species can be exhausted to the brink of extinction. The threat is amplified in cases of subsidized fishing, when overfishing can result in resource depletion, low biological birth rates, and critically low biomass levels. Overfishing of one species can upset the balance of an entire ecosystem, making it nearly impossible for the nearly depleted...

Fish Oil Vs Flax Seed Oil
Omega 3 offers great benefits to the human body: it protects the heart, the brain, the skin and the immune system. The main problem is that the human body cannot naturally produce the necessary omega 3 fatty acids and you have to acquire them from various sources, mostly from aliments.

Fish Oil and Acne - Is There Any Connection...
Hormonal disturbance in our body causes many health conditions and one of these is acne. Fish oil and acne are related to each other because of the presence of fatty acids in fish oil which can be helpful in the prevention as well as cure of acne. Two essential fatty acids - DHA and EPA - are broken down in the body to make other substances, such as prostaglandins. These substances prevent the formation of excess sebum in the hair follicles present throughout the human body, and as a result prevent acne from being emerging out. Doctors and dermatologists recommend increasing the intake of fish oil with acne. Although eating fish directly can also help prevent acne, but this is not usually advised by...

There are numerous benefits to owning a freshwater aquarium - both physical and psychological. If you have read previous my articles, you are now familiar with those benefits. You may be surprised to hear that aquariums offer benefits for the environment as well. Unfortunately the benefits, though helpful, do not outnumber the potentially negative impacts aquariums have on the environment. Freshwater aquariums do benefit environments to an extent. Removal of some species can actually regulate natural habitats. For example, if some predators of smaller fish are removed from a natural environment to be sold for aquariums, the smaller fish population will increase. However there is a difference between...

A Really Good Healthy Fish to Eat Would Have to...
Some of you re asking just what are the healthy fish to eat. There are several, including trout, salmon, sardines and mackerel, and as I mentioned Hoki. These fish swim in the deep cold waters of the ocean, and they eat the plankton which makes them rich in the Omega 3 fatty acids. They are indeed the healthiest fish to eat. However having said that, the impurities such as the heavy metals and the toxins build up in the flesh of these fish and it is not recommended that you eat them more than once a month. To obtain the Omega 3 fatty acids that we need on a daily basis, it is recommended that you take a molecularly distilled Omega 3 fish oil supplement each day. Another healthy fish to eat would be...
If you have been reading basic scientific literature, or if you have been watching advertisements on Internet sites recently, then you might have come across invitations to try fish oil. Fish oil is not simply oil extracted from any fish. It is the deep ocean fish that are used to get omega-3 fatty acids, which come in the form of docosaheaenoic acid, or DHA, and eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA. Many plant sources such as oil seeds can give the body omega-3 fatty acids, but these fatty acids have to be processed into DHA and EPA, a process that can be slow and difficult in some people who lack the necessary enzymes, or in the elderly. Because DHA and EPA are already available in utilizable form in...

Aquarium keeping does not have to be a hobby that endangers the environment. There are steps you can take to ensure that your aquarium will not have a negative impact on natural ecosystems. Firstly when you go to a pet store to buy fish or plants, ask the retailer where the specimens came from. If they say they do not know, do not buy anything. You will want to know whether the specimens were bred in captivity to sell specifically for aquariums or if they were captured from the wild. Always go for the plants and fish that were bred in captivity. The less that aquarists buy organisms that were captured in the wild, the less the demand will be for wild fish and plants, and the less they will be...
