zoo, strolling up and down in front of thick sheets of glass – all that stands between you and an amazing underwater world. You observe schools of surgeonfish swimming gracefully among stands of coral and watch as colorful gobies pop in and out of their holes in the sand. A feeling of peace and tranquility comes over you as you pause to simply take in the beauty of such a wonderful sight. If you have ever had an experience like this, the home aquarium hobby should be perfect for you. Having an aquarium in your home can not only be a fun adventure and learning experience, but it can also add some aesthetic appeal to your home. Cultivating a healthy aquarium is an extremely rewarding experience and, if you do it correctly, it can become more than just a hobby – it can become a lifestyle. As is true of any hobby or lifestyle choice, cultivating a freshwater aquarium does require some effort. You cannot expect any pet you keep to thrive unless you are committed to providing for its basic needs. While aquarium fish do not require the same level of time and attention as some pets, like dogs or cats, there is still some work involved in keeping a fish tank. Before you decide to engage in this wonderful hobby you should educate yourself on some of the costs and commitments necessary for success. Many people follow the motto, “Anything worth doing is worth doing right,” and this is something you should keep in mind as you prepare to start your new life as an aquarium hobbyist. The more effort you put into maintaining your tank and caring for your fish, the greater your reward will be in the form of healthy, happy fish and a beautiful, thriving aquarium environment. One of the biggest questions aspiring aquarium hobbyists have is “how much will it cost?” This question is not easy to answer because the cost of an aquarium depends on the size as well as the quality of the equipment you select. While 10-gallon aquariums are relatively inexpensive, a twenty- or thirty-gallon tank could cost over $100. Many people who are just starting out in the hobby go the route of purchasing aquarium starter kits which include the tank itself as well as the basic equipment needed for lighting and filtration. Some kits also include an aquarium heater and various other supplies and equipment. These starter kits are a great option for beginners in the hobby because you can get the basics of what you need at an affordable price. As you gain experience you may want to move up to some higher quality equipment or a bigger tank but you probably do not want to spend a fortune on aquarium equipment until you know you are going to enjoy the hobby and plan to stick with it. Do not fall into the trap that many aspiring aquarium hobbyists fall into after learning about the costs associated with fishkeeping. Most of your costs are going to be start-up costs,

Spawning Method: Egg-layer Corydoras (AKA cory cats and cories) are very hardy and make good beginner fish for a community tank. For species tank, the dwarf cories do better. There are generally 2 types of cory, the dwarf cory and the normal cory. Brochis are not cories. The dwarf cory is great for nano tanks because it usually remains less than 3cm long ( about 1.3 inch). They do well in community tanks too and the only special care they require is not putting them together with aggressive fish like Cichlids. Dwarf Cichlids may do well with them occasionally but avoid them if you can.

  • Recent Developments in the Application of Live Feeds in the Freshwater Ornamental Fish Culture
    Available online atwww.sciencedirect.com s c i e n c e ^ d i r e c t . Aquaculture ELSEVIER Aquaculture 227 (2003) 319-331 www. elsevier. com/locate/aqua-online Recent developments in the application of live feeds in the freshwater ornamental fish culture Lian Chuan Lima’*, Philippe Dhertb, Patrick Sorgeloos0 a Freshwater Fisheries Centre, Agri-food and Veterinary Authority o f Singapore, Sembawang Research Station, Lorong Chencharu 769194, Singapore hINVE Technologies NV, Oeverstraat 7, B-9200 Baasrode, Belgium c Laboratory o f Aquaculture and Artemia Reference Centre, University o f Ghent, Rozier 44, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium Accepted 30 May 2003 Abstract The industrial development of freshwater ornamental fish culture has been hampered by the lack of suitable live feeds for feeding the fish at the various production stages. This paper reports the recent developments in the applications of the freshwater rotifers {Brachionus calyciflorus), Artemia nauplii, decapsulatedArtemia cysts and on-grown Artemia in the freshwater ornamental fish culture. Results demonstrate that the rotifers are an ideal starter feed for dwarf gourami {Colisa lalia), a typical freshwater ornamental fish species with larvae that are too small to ingest Artemia nauplii or Moina at its first feeding. Compared with the conventional yolk food, the use of rotifers as a starter feed significantly improves the growth and survival of the gourami larvae (Days 2-12), and the beneficial effects are extended to the subsequent Artemia-feeding phase (Days 13-32). The freshwater rotifers and Artemia nauplii are also useful in raising Discus larvae in the absence of their parents, which would eliminate the risk of larvae being eaten by the parent fish.

  • Experimental Transmission of Enteromyxum Leei to Freshwater Fish
    DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Vol. 72: 171–178, 2006 Published October 17 Dis Aquat Org Experimental transmission of Enteromyxum leei to freshwater fish A. Diamant1,*, S. Ram1, 2, I. Paperna2 1Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research, National Center for Mariculture, PO Box 1212, North Beach, Eilat 88112, Israel 2Department of Animal Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, PO Box 12, Rehovot, Israel 76100 ABSTRACT: The myxosporean Enteromyxum leei is known to infect a wide range of marine fish hosts. The objective of the present study was to determine whether freshwater fish species are also receptive hosts to this parasite. Seventeen species of freshwater fish were experimentally fed E. leei- infected gut tissue from donor gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata obtained from a commercial sea bream cage farm. Four of the tested species, tiger barb Puntius tetrazona, zebra danio Danio rerio, oscar Astronotus ocellatus and Mozambique tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus, were found to be sus- ceptible with prevalences ranging from 53 to 90%. The course of infection and pathology was limited to the gut mucosa epithelium and was similar to that observed in marine hosts. Little is known of the differences in physiological conditions encountered by a parasite in the alimentary tract of freshwater vs. marine teleost hosts, but we assume that a similar osmotic environment is maintained in both. Parasite infectivity may be influenced by differences in the presence or absence of a true stomach, acidic gastric pH and digestive enzyme activity both in the stomach and intestine. Variability in susceptibility among species may also stem from differences in innate immunity.
