  • Hardy Tetra Community Aquarium
    Elmer’s Aquarium Community Tank Ideas Tank Size: 10 gal or more H ardy Tetra Community Aquarium Why Keep Them? This community is our most popular community tank for beginners with tanks of 10 to 30 gallons. Tetras represent a large group of fish, and many of them make great choices for a beginner’s community tank. Many tetras are active, colorful, hardy and get along well with other tank mates. Housing: This community tank is suitable for tanks of 10 gallon and up. Filtration can include an AquaClear power filter with a supplemental air pump and sponge filter. They like to swim in the middle water layers. Provide some bushy plants (live or plastic) toward the rear of the tank, and leave the front open for swimming. Water Conditions: Temperature 74-80. pH- (6.6-7.2) Use Seachem Neutral Regulator with each partial water change. Live Plants: Live plants are highly recommended for this community, but not required. Live plants will help bring out the best coloration and behavior in these fish as well as maintain optimal tank conditions. Feeding: Feed this community two to three small feedings per day. Feed flakes, small pellets, and some assorted frozen foods such as mysis shrimp for the most nutrition. How Many? Tetras, Danios, Rasboras, Barbs, Moons and Swordtails are schooling fish and should be bought in groups of at least 3 or more. Tank Mates: Choose other fish of similar size and temperament. Our staff can help you find them in our store. Tetras: Black Skirt Tetra, White Skirt Tetra, Serpae Tetra, Glowlight Tetra, Flame Von Rio Tetra, Bleeding Heart Tetra, Pristella Tetra, Black Phantom Tetra, Red Phantom Tetra, Silver Tip Tetra, Red Eye Tetra, Gold Tetra, Diamond Tetra, Emperor Tetra, GloFish Tetra, Bloodfin Tetra, Head & Tail Light Tetra, Rasboras: Harlequin Rasbora, Brilliant Rasbora, Scissortail Rasbora.

  • Celestial Pearl Danio", a New Genus and Species of Colourful Minute Cyprinid Fish from Myanmar (Pisces: Cypriniformes)
    THE RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY 2007 55(1): 131-140 Date of Publication: 28 Feb.2007 © National University of Singapore THE "CELESTIAL PEARL DANIO", A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF COLOURFUL MINUTE CYPRINID FISH FROM MYANMAR (PISCES: CYPRINIFORMES) Tyson R. Roberts Research Associate, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. - Celestichthys margaritatus, a new genus and species of Danioinae, is described from a rapidly developing locality in the Salween basin about 70-80 km northeast of Inle Lake in northern Myanmar. Males and females are strikingly colouful. It is apparently most closely related to two danioins endemic to Inle, Microrasbora rubescens and "Microrasbora" erythromicron. The latter species may be congeneric with the new species. The new genus is identified as a danioin by specializations on its lower jaw and its numerous anal fin rays. The colouration, while highly distinctive, seems also to be characteristically danioin. The danioin notch (Roberts, 1986; Fang, 2003) is reduced or absent, but the danioin mandibular flap and bony knob (defined herein) are present. The anal fin has iiiSVz-lOV: rays. In addition to its distinctive body spots and barred fins the new fish is distinguished from other species of danioins by the following combination of characters: snout and mouth extremely short; premaxillary with an elongate and very slender ascending process; mandible foreshortened; body deep, with rounded dorsal and anal fins; modal vertebral count 15+16=31; caudal fin moderately rather than deeply forked; principal caudal fin rays 9/8; scales vertically ovoid; and pharyngeal teeth conical, in three rows KEY WORDS. - Hopong; principal caudal fin rays; danioin mandibular notch, knob, and pad; captive breeding.

Abstract Two new species of Microrasbora are described, M. kubotai from the western (Andaman Sea) slope of Peninsular Thailand and M. nana from the lower Sittang basin in Myanmar. Microrasbora erythromicron is transferred to Danio sensu lato. Two new genera are described, Sundadanio (type species: Rasbora axelrodi) and Trigonostigma (type species: R. heteromorpha). Introduction The genus Microrasbora was created by Annandale aQuarium trade since a few years ago. The purpose (1918: 50) for two species of diminutive cyprinids of the present paper is to make names available for discovered in Inle Lake, Burma (now Myanmar), M. these two species and for two long-recognised but rubescens (the type species of the genus) (Fig. 1) and still unnamed genera of diminutive Southeast Asian M. erythromicron (Fig. 2).

    First report of morphological and molecular identification of greater scissortail Rasbora caudimaculata from Rokan Hulu District, Riau Province, Indonesia 1Arief A. Purnama, 1Jismi Mubarak, 2Ika Daruwati, 3Dewi I. Roslim, 3Roza Elvyra 1 Biology Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Pasir Pengaraian, Rokan Hulu District, Riau Province, Indonesia; 2 Physics Education Study Programme, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Pasir Pengaraian, Rokan Hulu Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia; 3 Biology Department, Faculty Mathematics and Science Riau University, Riau Province, Indonesia. Corresponding author: A. A. Purnama, [email protected] Abstract. The greater scissortail (Rasbora caudimaculata) is an appreciated food fish, widly distributed, and being subject of economical fishery in Indonesia. R. caudimaculata is commonly found in Indonesian rivers plenteously. In the villages of Riau Province many people use this species as daily food. R. caudimaculata in Indonesia is distributed in Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Natuna Besar, Lombok, Bali, Sumbawa and Nias. In Rokan Hulu district R. caudimaculata can be found in rivers around oil palm plantations and secondary forests. In addition to the morphological characters in fish there are genetic characters, which function to provide genetic information. Information on genetic diversity can be obtained by analyzing the gene encoding proteins from mitochondrial DNA. Among the protein coding genes that are often used to study genetic diversity are cytochrome genes b. Further analysis was made to access the utility of partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene to delineate the mullet specimens. PCR amplification was conducted using the universal primers and approximately 660-bp of partial CO1 gene was sequenced for all specimens.
