By Kevin M Yates Once you have successfully bred your fish's and your fry are at the free swimming stage they will be able to feed for themselves. Many species can take brineshrimp as a first food but it is best to start with Infusoria as well.

By Kevin M Yates When fishes, plants, and food are introduced into the aquarium a process known as nitrification occurs, this is referred to as the nitrogen cycle. This is not unique to aquaria; nitrification will occur in any body of water, or soil, where bacterial action breaks down decaying organic matter and converts it into ammonia. Ammonia compounds are then oxidized into nitrite and

By Kevin M Yates Although tap water is usually a suitable substitute for a fish's natural aquatic needs, it does require certain measures to taken before it can be used in the aquarium. Water from our mains supplies have been treated in such a way that makes it safe for humans to drink. Chlorine is used in our water systems, which kills off bacteria and disinfects the water.

By Richard Gilliland If you have a home aquarium, chances are you already have several filtration units taking care of the water. A UV sterilizer is a good addition to an aquarium, although it should be the last stage of the filtration process. It's important that aquarium water passes through the mechanical filter before moving through the UV unit. The mechanical or canister filter removes

By Richard Gilliland Fortunately, there are a few things you can look out for before making a purchase: Fins shouldn't be drooping, especially the dorsal fin. A collapsed fin is a bad sign for most fish, although for some species this tip doesn't apply. Puffers normally curl their tail against their body, while butterfly fish have erect dorsal fins only when they are afraid. In addition, fins

By RC Moore There is a new growing popularity in the reef keeping hobby called Nano Reefs. As the name implies, a nano reef is a reef aquarium on a small scale; 2.5 to 29 gallons. The price of a nano reef is also on a small scale, from the tank itself, the lighting, and it takes less live rock and corals to make a very dramatic reef display. It was often thought that the bigger the aquarium the

Goldfish growth really depends on certain factors that will influence how fast they grow. Some factors that directly influence goldfish growth are: 1. How clean is the water for your Goldfish? 2.

By Peter Ponzio Each year, as the days grow longer in the springtime, mature goldfish begin the process of producing eggs in the females, and milt in the males. Many of these changes are triggered by increasing daylight and warmer water temperatures. The availability of increased food production in the form of bloodworm and gnat larvae, if the goldfish live outdoors, adds to the changes in the

By John W Fletcher One of the most common reasons why people leave the marine aquarium hobby is due to nuisance algae. There is no doubt that it can become a real heart breaker after spending so much time and effort at this hobby only to be defeated by such a small organism as algae. Just about everyone who has ever set up a marine tank has to deal with nuisance algae at one time or another.

By Kathy Ferneau That lovely acrylic aquarium weighs a lot--about 10 pounds per gallon of material, so it definitely needs a structure to support it. Creativity can be applied to structural supports as freely as for the aquarium itself. The structural support itself should be... 1) Solid. Avoid individual legs as these tend to be weaker. 2) Even.

Dead fish will temporarily sink to the bottom of the aquarium, but then soon enough, they will begin floating in the tank in the infamous belly-up position. This is the time when the fish will begin releasing toxins into the water. When you see a fish in this manner, remove
