Misleading titleBy Laura I.With most books targeting a particular species of animal, information is given on the animal's native habitat, its care in captivity, physical characteristics, sexual dimorphism, and reproduction. Not so in this book. I was treated to three paragraphs about the physical characteristics, one of which just repeating the best points of the other two, in large font. The remaining 35 pages are filled with a relatively decent guide on setting up an aquarium, albeit riddled with spelling mistakes. The last five pages are blank.As a guide to the delightful kuhli loach, this book is a disaster. I highly regret paying $8 for what is essentially two paragraphs of information that could be gleaned from a cursory Google search. As an aquarium set up guide, this would be a very good booklet to include with any aquarium starter kit, and I highly advise the author to consider contacting a company to do so. I still would not pay $8 for it, but I'd pay as much as $4 extra on a starter kit for it.I had been hoping for a book of all the information on my favorite fish in one place. What I got was two paragraphs and a how to for something I've done half a dozen times before.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. More covers general fishkeeping than Kuhli loachesBy Michael WilliamsWhile the info was good it was very general fish care stuff. Still it was well written and great for a beginner.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy CustomerGood guide. All i needed to know Kuhli Loach Care: The Complete Guide to Caring for and Keeping Kuhli Loach as Pet Fish The Kuhli Loach (scientifically known as Pangio Kuhli) is a relatively small eel-like freshwater fish that belongs to the Loach family (scientifically known as Cobitidae). The Kuhli Loach is characterized by its small fins, four barbels around its mouth, a dorsal fin that starts well behind the middle of its body and slightly compressed sides. It also has a thin film of transparent skin that covers its eyes. A Kuhli Loach will normally have between 10 and 15 black vertical stripes that run down the length of its body with the remainder of its body being a pale salmon pink color. The Kuhli Loach originates from Indonesia and the Malay Peninsula. It is a nocturnal fish and very easy to startle ndash; it will hide under tank ornaments or bury itself into the tanks substrate if it is scared.Here at Fish Care Manuals we are passionate about fish care. As a brand we have a strong idea of what makes up a good fish care book. We have consulted with multiple experts in the field of fish caring to allow us to create a book filled with cumulative opinions and best practices. The experts we consult range from veterinarians to every day fish keepers who have had years of experience caring for the specific fish each book is on. Our aim, and mission, is to produce the best possible fish care books that are a great value for money.

  • September 11, 2018 London Aquaria Society This Month, We Will Be Watching 2 Videos, One on the Lionfish and One About Bettas
    Volume 62, Issue 1 September 11, 2018 London Aquaria Society www.londonaquariasociety.com This month, we will be watching 2 videos, one on the Lionfish and one about Bettas. Wingless Fruit Flies www.aquaticcommunity.com/fishfood/winglessfruitflies.php Wingless fruit flies are appreciated by a wide range of fish, especially those who would feed on small in- sects on the water’s surface in their natural environment. Fruit fly is for instance an ideal food for pencilfish and hatchetfish. Growing your wingless fruit flies at home is not very complicated and you will always have suitable live food ready for your fish devour. To being with, you naturally have to obtain wingless fruit flies. You can for instance purchase them from an aquarium shop or ask your local fish club if anyone is willing to sell or donate flies. You will also need some type of ventilated container to house your fruit fly culture. A one quart (or 1 li- tre) fruit jar or sealer is handy, but virtually any type of container will work, as long as it has a fitting ring. A glass container is recommended since glass can be boiled prior to use, thereby ensuring clean conditions. You will also need a piece of clean cloth. The next step is a create something that allows your wingless fruit flies to get out of the culture medium. You can for instance use Popsicle sticks or a peace of cardboard or even better use a peace of that plastic mesh sold in needlework shops. What ever you decide to use, it should go from the bottom of your container up to near the top.

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.

ABSTRACT Hummingbirds in flight exhibit the highest metabolic rate of all vertebrates. The bioenergetic requirements associated with sustained hovering flight raise the possibility of unique amino acid substitutions that would enhance aerobic metabolism. Here, we have identified a non- conservative substitution within the mitochondria-encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) that is fixed within hummingbirds, but not among other vertebrates. This unusual change is also rare among metazoans, but can be identified in several clades with diverse life histories.

  • Common Molly
    “Gilliis”, Molly ( Poecilia gillii ) Order: Cyprinodontiformes - Family: Poeciliidae Also known as: Type: Tropical/ Brackish Water- Livebearer Origin / Distribution: Central and South America: Atlantic drainage from Guate- mala to the Río Térraba, Costa Rica. Río Grande, Coclé Province to the Río Bayano, Panama. Description: “Gilliis”, Poecilia gillii (Kner & Steindachner, 1863), a small algae- and detritus-feeding fish, inhabiting sixteen isolated, residual pools of a high- gradient, intermittent stream in Costa Rica following floods which severely re- duced the number of fish in the stream. Immediately after the floods, population sizes averaged 20% and pool surface areas 130% of their pre-flood values, periphyton production was relatively low and dissolved oxygen was relatively high. Physical Characteristics: Size / Weight / Age: Max length : 6.0 cm TL male/unsexed; 10.5 cm TL (female) Color Form: Sexual dimorphism: Spatial variation in environmental characteristics which control periphyton, detritus and oxygen availability may produce characteristic population densities in different pools. An increase in the proportion of males and a decrease in their size after the floods suggest social inhibition of sexual matura- tion during the late dry season. Male has a gonopodium , smaller but larger fins. Lifespan: Livebearing fish such as Mollies, Platys, and Swordtails, generally live less than 5 years. Behavior: In the past they have been exposed in many areas of the world to combat malaria. Like all of Molly's, they are very productive under favorable conditions and can easily be multiplied. Because of the constant bustle, one should keep groups of one male to three females together. Several males are kept together, developed the most dominant males, the most intense colors.
