The biggest news to hit our hobby this month is the official publication of the International Aquatic Plant Layout Contest 2008 Results. There are some beautiful aquascapes entered into the competition that we will focus in future articles. At this time I would like to extend an invitation to anyone who would be interested in having their aquascape featured. If you’re interested just contact us. The aquascapes featured in the article about the contest offers a sample of the world class aquascapes entered into the competition. Let me redirect your attention to this month’s Aquascape in Focus. United States aquascaper, Sergio Canabal shows us how he grew massive Anubias islands from only a few plantlets to start. His beautiful aquascape, Down the River, is a difficult aquascape to complete, but having an automatic fertilizing doser and water changing system sure helps keep the maintenance time down. Last but not least, if you’re looking for something new to create, you might want to try your hand at the Wabi-Kusa Aquascaping Style. Steven Chong gives us a great overview on the style and describes how Wabi-Kusa is sweeping the aquascaping community. Happy a great month aquascaping!

Many countries have set up fish farms, also known as aquaculture facilities, in order to avoid depleting fish from their native habitat. It is more cost effective for fish stores to buy livestock from fish farms. Why Wild Caught Fish are Popular • Wild caught fish usually have brighter colors than farmed fish; therefore, they show very well in an aquarium. • Many aquarists are in search of exotic fish because it’s considered a status symbol among their peers. • Wild caught fish have a high re-sell value. For example, a rare Red Arrowana can sell for up to $5,000. • Breeding wild caught fish can be a money-maker for aquarists.

  • Common Fish Keeping Myths
    Common Fish Keeping Myths There are many common misconceptions and myths floating around about fish keeping and aquarium care, so we’re going to take a moment to address a few of the ones we frequently hear: I can put several fish in a small two gallon bowl. This mostly depends on the fish. With fish tanks, there is something we call the bio load - the number of fish you can have based on the size of the tank and the size of the fish. The general rule of thumb is one inch of fish per gallon. There are some ways to fudge this rule: adding a filter (or a more powerful filter) and more frequent water changes can allow you to keep a few more fish. Some of the cleaner and hardier species of fish can be in larger groups., and it all depends on the amount of work you want to put into your tank. Fish only grow to the size of their tank. There are some species that do suffer from "stunting" and stay small, but this is usually caused by ammonia poisoning, not the tank size. And while fish kept in this toxic environment will survive, it's for a limited time, and they won't thrive. Most species will grow to their adult sizes, regardless of the size of their homes. Bottom feeders and algae eaters will help keep my tank clean. This is the most common one we hear, and it's definitely not true. Most bottom feeders are members of the catfish family.

Shelly* Z. Ahmad** and M. R. Mirza** Department of Zoology, University of the Punjab, Lahore *Department of Fisheries, Government of Punjab, Munawan, Lahore. Department of Zoology, Government College University, Lahore Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Pakistan has introduced several alien exotic fish species e.g. grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), bighead carp, (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis), silver carp, (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), gold fish (Carassius auratus), and three species of tilapia (Oreochromis aureus, Oreochromis mossambicus, Oreochromis niloticus) in warm waters along with two trout species: the rainbow trout (Onchorynchus mykiss) and the brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) in colder regions for specific purposes like sport fishing, yield enhancement and biological control of aquatic weeds and mosquitoes. The exotic species are becoming invasive in the freshwater biomes of the Punjab and other provinces of Pakistan by reason of their potent reproductive potential and feeding competitions with the native freshwater fish fauna. Resultantly the native fish species viz; Channa marulius, Wallago attu, Rita rita, Sperata sarwari, Gibelion catla, Cirrhinus mrigala and Labeo rohita, which are of economic value are under threat. Key words: Exotic, invasions, freshwater, fish fauna, Pakistan. wild, 421 (35 %) are reported as not established and 177 INTRODUCTION (15 %) with unknown establishment (Fish base, 2003).

  • Aquacultue OPEN COURSE: NOTES PART 1
    OPEN COURSE AQ5 D01 ORNAMENTAL FISH CULTURE GENERAL INTRODUCTION An aquarium is a marvelous piece of nature in an enclosed space, gathering the attraction of every human being. It is an amazing window to the fascinating underwater world. The term ‘aquarium’is a derivative of two words in Latin, i.e aqua denoting ‘water’ and arium or orium indicating ‘compartment’. Philip Henry Gosse, an English naturalist, was the first person to actually use the word "aquarium", in 1854 in his book The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea. In this book, Gosse primarily discussed saltwater aquaria. Aquarium or ornamental fish keeping has grown from the status of a mere hobby to a global industry capable of generating international exchequer at considerable levels. History shows that Romans have kept aquaria (plural for ‘aquarium’) since 2500 B.C and Chinese in 1278-960 B.C. But they used aquaria primarily for rearing and fattening of food fishes. Chinese developed the art of selective breeding in carp and goldfish, probably the best known animal for an aquarium. Ancient Egyptians were probably the first to keep the fish for ornamental purpose. World’s first public aquarium was established in Regents Park in London in 1853. Earlier only coldwater fishes were kept as pets as there was no practical system of heating which is required for tropical freshwater fish. The invention of electricity opened a vast scope of development in aquarium keeping. The ease of quick transportation and facilities for carting in temperature controlled packaging has broadened the horizon for this hobby.
