Betta schalleri Kottelat & Ng 1994 www.ibcbettas.org/about-betta-splendens/smp/species/schalleri/ Keeping Betta schalleri from an Aquarist View Housin g: Betta schalleri can be housed in pairs, species tanks, and community tanks. Pairs can be housed in a 10 gallon tank, groups should be housed in a 30 gallon tank or larger. Pairs should be given cover such as caves and plants. In a pair or species situation it is possible that fry could be discovered in the tanks. For best results remove a brooding male. Water Conditions: Not critical, schalleri is very tolerant of water chemistry and thrives in almost any type of water as long as it is clean and well filtered. They should be kept at cool to mid 70s F. Sexing: Males have a broader head then females and have a caudal spike typical of pugnax complex and longer pelvic fins. Females ovaries might be visible via spotlighting. Reproduction: Schalleri is a paternal mouthbrooder and the male incubates from 8 to 10 days. Incubation time can vary with water temperature. Females normally initiate spawning. Similar Species: Similar species would be pugnax complex members. Identification: ? Original Citation: Ng, P. K. L. 1994. [68] Ng, P. K. L. 1994.

I hope everyone is keeping healthy and safe! Due to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Executive of the London Aquaria Society have decided to cancel the meetings scheduled for May and June, as well as our Spring Auction, that was scheduled for May 31st. This is done, following the current guidelines set by our governments and health professionals. The uncertainty of when the restrictions will be lifted, made it necessary to plan ahead for the balance of this season and we are hoping to resume our meetings in September. Please watch our Facebook page and website for future updates in the coming months. Please take care of yourselves and your families, so that we all stay safe and healthy throughout this ordeal. Check on your senior friends and neighbours to see if they are safe and healthy or in need of anything, by means of a quick call, and show your appreciation to the health care workers and emergency response workers that are all dedicated to helping us stay healthy and safe.

She didn't realize he meant plural. 8 big fish tanks later, she knows too much about fish. https://pethelpful.com/fish-aquariums/Why-do-goldfish -change-color If you bought your goldfish for its colour, you may be disappointed. Updated on May 25, 2019 Goldfish are a common household pet. Although less popular than dogs or cats, fish come in a close third because they are relatively easy to care for and don't require a lot of attention, space, exercise or training. Because they don't leave their aquarium, they don't create a mass of housework, and they are also allergy-friendly for people who can't have a hairy pet. However, something unusual can happen to goldfish. Over time, you may notice a change of colour. The most common change in color is from gold to white, although other changes can occur as well. Read on to learn what may be causing the change. Goldfish, like koi, are a type of carp. And just like wild carp, wild goldfish are usually olive green. Red, black, orange, white, yellow and brown goldfish have all been created through selective breeding. Because of the selective breeding process as well as environmental factors, it's not uncommon for a goldfish to change colour. The change Goldfish haven’t can be to a similar color, a different shade or even a pattern. always been orange. Goldfish were one of the first domesticated fish. However, they did not always have the bright orange and red scales that we are familiar with today. There are plenty of reasons that goldfish can change colour. Here are a few of them: Change in environment. * Change in water type. Water temperature. * Amount of light. Introduction of other fish or goldfish into the aquarium. Newborn transitioning into adult colouration. * Old age. Goldfish have pigment in their skin that reacts to light. When their skin is deprived of light or they have less exposure, this impacts on their skin. Over time, they can lose their colour and turn white. Think of it this way: When people go outside a lot, they get a tan. If instead, they stay inside, they become paler. Sunlight works in a similar way on goldfish. London Aquaria Society 4 Bichir Care and Breeding Guide www.theaquariumguide.com/articles/bichir By Adam Edmond Bichir fish is a family of fresh water fishes with ray fins that are native to the continent of Africa where they are well spread out in different parts. There are up to 14 genuses of the fish that are known currently all of which are evenly spread out in Africa. The fish are known to inhabit freshwater basins in Africa and parts of the Indian sub-continent. The fish in the wild prefers muddy water with a bottom that is silted but sometimes it even lives in bogs. There are just various species of bichir that will survive in tank conditions such as the ornate bichir, Senegal bichir, barred bichir, and marbled bichir. The fish has rather poor eyesight but a very strong sense of smell that it uses to navigate the waters that it inhabits in the wild. Appearance of Bichir Fish: The body of the fish is long looking almost similar to that of an eel and it has unique dorsal finlets. The scales of the fish are diamond shaped and a close look at them reveals to you that they are flexibly joined together. The body of the fish is very strong and it is interesting that the fish can still breathe even when out of the water. Keeping the fish in tank: Keeping Bichir in a tank is not complicated and even an aquarium beginner can still set up a tank for keeping the fish successfully. The species of this fish are not demanding at all and as long as the basic tank conditions are maintained it will just do well in captivity. Even in the wild the fish are capable of inhabiting muddy dirty water due to their enduring nature. It must be noted that the fish is a predator and if you wish to keep it in a community tank better keep it with large fish. Another thing to keep in mind if you are planning to keep the fish in a community tank with other fishes is that it is rather slow in finding it food. This means that if it is housed together with other fish that are fast and swift at eating available food, it might find difficulty feeding well. This therefore calls on the aquarist to be keen when administering food to the fish when in a community tank.
