tropical aquarium fish part II.MP4

Sandra Bing — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 04:29:59 +0000

Never mix cold water fish, like the Gold Fish family types with warm water fish because they require very different water temperature in the Winter or cold room environments. The fish in my tank here, are mostly originally from South America in a community aquarium. Deep aquariums need a bubbleler or a power jet to circulate the water for more oxygen to keep all your creatures and plants healthy and alive. Weekly or biweekly partial (25 to 50 %) water changes with a siphon is necessary. Must siphon the gravel, careful not to siphon fish and plants. Use true aquatic plants, not house plants kept under water. Blue angel fish bred in Philippines (freshwater angels originated from South America), long finned and short finned yellow angels. Three different kinds of tetra fish, one julii corydora cat fish, and a dwarf powder blue gourami fish. I definitely have a julii corydora cat fish. Here is a info website link for your fish identification. www.aquaticcommunity.com/corydoras/juliicory.php.

Unique Aquariums: Popular Styles

Sandra Bing — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 17:59:04 +0000

Are you looking to update your aquarium? If you are, you may be thinking about purchasing a traditional acrylic aquarium, one that is in a rectangular shape, but you may also be interested in thinking outside of the box. What you may not know, when it comes to buying an aquarium, is that you literally have an unlimited number of choices. In fact, if you are looking for something unique, you should be able to find it, as a many fish tank suppliers carry a large selection of unique aquariums. Just a few of those aquariums are outlined below.

One of the most popular, yet unique types of aquariums are known as table aquariums. As the name implies, these unique aquariums serve as tables. When it comes to purchasing a unique table aquarium, you will also find that you have a number of options. For instance, there are numerous aquariums styles that are used for coffee tables, end tables, or even dining room tables. As you likely already known, unique aquariums, like table aquariums, can be fairly expensive, especially if they are large in size. While the prices that you will find will vary, it is not uncommon to see unique coffee table aquariums selling for five hundred to seven hundred dollars. Large dining room table aquariums can sell for much more money, but they tend to start retailing at around seven or eight hundred dollars.

In conjunction with the above table aquariums, there are also a number of other unique aquariums that can come in the form of other furniture pieces. In addition to traditional table-like structures, like coffee tables or dining room tables, furniture aquariums can also come in the form of headboards or wall units. If you are looking to spice up your bedroom, a unique aquarium headboard may be just what you are looking for. Unique wall unit aquariums are perfect for both homes and businesses. As with table aquariums, most unique aquarium pieces are expensive in price. Whether you are looking to purchase an aquarium headboard or an aquarium wall unit, you should be prepared to spend a couple of thousand dollars, if not more.

Another unique type of aquarium that is unique, but still highly sought after is aquariums that are in the shape of columns. Column aquariums are often thin in width, but tall in height. For instance, it is not uncommon to find unique column aquariums that are six or seven feet tall! It is also not uncommon to find column aquariums that have built in clocks towards the top of the aquarium. For this reason, column aquariums are highly sought after by business owners or by office decorators. Due to their beauty and their compact size, these unique column aquariums, however, can also be found inside many homes. Since column aquarium come in all different sizes, you should be prepared to spend anywhere from five hundred dollars to one thousands dollars.

If you have purchased an aquarium in the past, or at least researched all of your options, you are likely familiar with BiOrbs. BiOrbs are small, compact acrylic aquariums that are ideal for homes and offices; just about any place that is limited on space. If you enjoy the compact design and the beauty of most BiOrbs, you are also urged to examine SeaVision Orbs. SeaVision Orbs are unique aquariums that are rapidly increasing in popularity. One of the reasons for that is due to their design. While SeaVision Orbs are similar to BiOrbs, there is a small difference. That difference is a large bubble shape. That bubble shape actually acts as if it was a magnifying glass! What does that mean for you? It means that it is much easier to see the contents of your aquarium! How unique is that?

If you are interested in owning one of the above mentioned unique aquariums, you are urged to contact a reputable and well-known fish tank supplier, like FishTanksDirect.com. By visiting FishTanksDirect.com, you can examine a large selection of aquariums, including the previously summarized ones.

Bettas – The Most Exotic Fish For Freshwater Aquariums

Sandra Bing — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 12:52:56 +0000

If you compare the difference between the salt water or marine fish and freshwater fish, you know that the fish for freshwater aquariums can be a bit dull and boring compared to salt water fish. However, there is one fish for freshwater fish tanks that is so beautiful and exotic it can rival any of the marine fish.

This fish is the Betta or Japanese fighting fish. You’ve probably seen them sitting In tiny round bowls at your pet store. These are the beautifully colored fish with long flowing fins that come in a range of red, purple’s and aqua’s.

These fish exhibit a grace and beauty that compares to none other and you might just one of the lucky fish tank with a dozen of them. However, this wouldn’t be very good idea since male Bettas – the ones with the long fins – a very territorial and will fight to the death.

When buying Bettas for your fish tank you need to make sure that you only have one male aquarium. You can have more than one female, but the females are not as beautiful as the males having much shorter fins and in fact, the females can also fight but are not as aggressive as the males.

in addition to being beautiful, the Betta is also one of the few freshwater fish that can survive in water that has little in as they can actually take the oxygen from the air itself. But just because they can survive in a little tiny bowls doesn’t mean you should subject him to such a boring life. just like with any fish the bigger the aquarium and the better the water quality and healthier you fish will be.

If you do decide to keep your Betta are in a small fish bowl you’ll need to spend a lot of time doing water changes in making sure that the water quality is good enough for your fish to size. The water in a small bowl will soon become toxic due to decaying food and wastes and there is not enough room in a small bowl for enough bacteria to build up for sufficient biological filtration. You should probably change out half the water to three times a week in order to keep the ammonia nitrate levels at bay. Also be sure that your fish gets the appropriate heat and light necessary to survive.

Feeding your Betta the appropriate food will help keep him healthy and colorful. Bettas are carnivores and will need a meat-based feed food. They like food such as prime time, freeze dried blood worms and you can also buy food specifically formulated for the Betta fish. If you’re feeding him frozen brine shrimp, thaw it out so that your Betta can digest it properly. Don’t overfeed refresh, simply given up what he can eat in a minute or two as you want to avoid having food rot on the bottom of your tank which will reduce the water quality.

Bettas like a water temperature that is around 78 to 80°F and it is good to keep this temperature consistent. keep your tank away from windows so that algae does not build up and also keep it out of drafts or sunlight is the sunlight can heat the water up to much. Adding live plants suitable or aquarium can help filter the water and keep the quality at peak levels.

2006 discus fish breeding part 1

Sandra Bing — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 02:58:33 +0000

This pair of discuss has 3 attempts with all eggs eaten up, 1 times with few fry coming out but still eaten up at the end. this video is their 5th attempt. some things that I think it may help: – young pairs are less experienced, sometimes looks like they are not in harmony after laying eggs or frightened, then they eat up all eggs, if your pair only has 1 or 2 attempts, you can looking forward to their next attempt. – water change. I keep a 80% water change everyday when they are in a small 2 feet tank. (water is coming from the top-roof water reserve, which is kept for sometime, and singapore tap water is quite soft). but after they lay eggs, i keep 20% water change everyday. – I put 7 disuss with a clearer fish in the small 2 feet tank, with only on-top filters, not decorations at all(during the time I just moved to my new flat) tank is small but really clean. after the 2 lay eggs, I only remove the sucker fish out and the rest discuss is still in, so the competition is still on in the tank. the pair is still the king. but I remove the rest after the fry came out. just to release the stress level of the pair. – food: I feed them frozen blood worms, washed before feeding and some dry flaker food. they have enough food and looks healthy and strong. – no extra lighting, I put the tank near my rear balcony, there is no direct sun light on the tank, so the fish enjoy the nature day-night cycle. – a heater to keep the temp 28′C at night – some luck My 40+ young discus …

Fish That Clean Your Aquarium For You

Sandra Bing — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 09:49:08 +0000

Maintaining an aquarium can be an ongoing task but you can lighten the load of little bit by buying fish and other creatures that you part of the work for you. These fish are scavengers that feed on the any food on the bottom of the crater rim as well as the algae. When buying these kinds of fish you need to be careful of the kind that you buy us some can exist peacefully with your other fish while others will attack them.
One of the toughest problems In maintaining a tank is keeping the algae growth down. Luckily there are fish that actually eat the algae keeping the tank clean for you!
The Chinese algae eater can eat in a normal salon of algae and attach themselves to the flat surfaces of your tank and decorations scraping algae off. The Chinese algae eater can become aggressive when he becomes an adult and may even attack larger fish so they are great having a tank when they are young, but not so good when they’re adults.
The flying fox or trunk barb each LG and also will eat the leftover food at the bottom of the tank. They shouldn’t be put in with a similar species though as they can become territorial.
If you want a shy and peaceful fish that is a good community member and also each algea then you could try getting a catfish for your aquarium.
Snails are another fish tank creature that eats algae but they’ll go for the plants first so if you have live plants in your tank you might not want to add snails. Apple snails might be a good idea because they prefer the LG over the plants however you may find them feeding on sleeping fish! another thing to keep in mind is that snails reproduce pretty quickly so if you don’t want a tank full of snails by only one.
Sometimes live plants have snail eggs are ready on them. I once put a plant in my tank and low and behold all of a sudden I had tons of teeny tiny snails – and I mean tons! If this happens to you and you want to get rid of them think about buying a loach. Loaches eat snails and they also eat algae so you can kill two birds with one stone. Sucker loaches, however, made a bit of the fish when they grow to be adults.
cleaner shrimp can help with Tank maintenance. Bumblebee shrimp will eat leftover food enough help keep down algae growth In the tank but you have to be careful to provide them with other food as well. These shrimp are only about an Inch long and relatively harmless to your other fish. Ghost charm will eat both algae and the food at the bottom of the tank too but they also might eat small fresh and may get to the fish food before your fish can even eat it as collection point!
If you have any saltwater aquarium, then getting a couple of crowds might be a great way to cut down on algae. Hermit crabs who eat algae as well as the food that sells on the bottom of the aquarium. Keep in mind, however, that you must buy crabs that don’t grow larger than an inch as big crabs might kill your fish. Emerald green crabs and need Mithrax crabs might be good for saltwater tank. Sally Lightfoot crabs eat hair algae and bubble algae and are also very peaceful creatures.
So there you have it, some creatures to add interest to your tank as well as help you clean it!
