You will find that many discus owners will come to a stage were they decide its time to start breeding discus fish. Its not impossible however it can be hard work, but if done correctly can be rewarding. Like all cichlids, discus choose a spawning site then guard and rear the eggs and resulting fry. Here are some quick tips for you... Pairing: Discus fish really don't take well to arrange marriages, the best way to get a pair to gather is to buy a group of young unrelated fish of the same colour type and let them pair up themselves. This might happen from when the fish are half grown, spawning usually occurs when there ¾ of their adult size. The fish will usually remain a pair until the remainder of there lives. Spawning: Discus will choose a near vertical smooth site, which they clean a

Aquarium tank fish death is one of the common challenges faced by aquarists. There are number of factors that could be responsible for the deaths experienced. These are outlined briefly below: - The aquarist selection of fish. - The removal and packing of the fish from the pet shop - Transport time and period and the handling of the fish in transit - Quarantine procedure. - Adjustment and adaptation into the new community or environment by the new fish. When buying fish from the pet shop always spend some time at the place to inquire about the life history and habits of the new purchase. You can then make a selection from collection of the same species. Never buy the last specimen in reserve at any shop because if it had been a good specimen, you would not have met it there in the fi

Ik kan zeggen dat het met de kleintjes nu heel goed gaat. Ik heb ivoren, paarse en blauwe appelslakjes. Ook is er een nieuw trosjes uit gekomen en heb ik weer kleine appelslakjes.Wat mij wel op valt is dat de appelslakken bezig blijven. Helaas kan ik niet alles uit laten komen en moet ik dus trosjes weggooien. Dit lijkt zielig, maar anders heb ik straks 1000 appelslakjes in mijn aquarium van 72 liter zwemmen en dat is ook weer niet goed voor de waterwaardes.In mijn kleine bak gaat het ook goed, meneer en mevrouw honinggoerami voelen zich helemaal thuis en laten dat ook goed merken. Mijn vrouwelijke gup zwemt er vrolijk tussen en is altijd nieuwsgierig als je voor het aquarium zit. Ook de garnalen doen het goed, want ik vind ontzettend veel velletjes. Gelukkig worden ze dus met rust gelaten

How to condition water Fish of all sorts expect a pH measurement of acid and/or base water. The common pH level is typically 6.5 and no higher than 7.5. Water types include saltwater, alkalinity, hardness, soft water, and so on. Alkalinity water is measured buffers, which its capacity is based on test results conducted from water. Alkalinity is a choice for many fish, since it will regulate pH balance, thus preventing the balance to drop. With this in mind, you can add buffers to regulate alkalinity as well. Hard water is based on the amount of minerals, which is often unregulated. The reason is that soft water lacks the ability to produce dissolved minerals, while water softened by machines does not supply a variety of minerals. For this purpose, most aquarium and fish owners will purc

Before you even decide for certain that you want a saltwater aquarium in your living room, you need a clear understanding of the time, effort, and expense involved in maintaining it properly. Although emphasizes design over technique, once the design is executed, maintenance becomes all-important. Coral reefs shelter their diverse inhabitants in one of the most stable environments on Earth. In fact, environmental stability may well explain a substantial portion of that diversity. When you can count on tomorrow being pretty much like today for thousands of years at a stretch, adaptations necessary for coping with, or preparing for, environmental change can be redirected into specialization of lifestyle. In turn, most coral reef organisms have, as a result of that specialization, sacrificed

The overwhelming majority of aquarium owners simply find themselves attracted to the natural beauty of the underwater scene. The aquarium in this context becomes a living work of art, complementing the interior décor of the home. It makes a statement about the owner’s lifestyle, forges a connection to nature that is often absent from urban life, and, sometimes, boasts of success. Residences these days may be graced by installations of a size and level of sophistication that in years past were only found in museums and public aquariums. One company that specializes in custom designs recently introduced a “basic” system at around $15,000.

Ik vond het tijd worden voor een update. Ik heb sinds 3 dagen weer appelslakkeneitjes. Nu weet ik zeker dat ik genoeg heb voor de mensen die appelslakken wilt hebben. Ik heb sowieso 3 reserveringen en die met 2 weken ongeveer de slakken op komt halen. Maar dat is niet het enige wat er is gebeurd.Ik ging van de week naar de aquariumzaak en werd een beetje verliefd op de Colisa Chuna. Ik vind labyrinthvissen sowieso prachtig en geweldig, maar ik kan ze niet allemaal hebben. Toch twijfelde ik een beetje, want ja het is een beetje een grote vis, maar aan de andere kant? Nu zit er in mijn Aqua40 een koppel Chuna's en ben daar blij om. Ook zijn er genoeg schuilplaatsen en was het mannetje gisteren al bezig met een schuimnest.

An aquarium fish tank can bring the beauty and splendor of tropical or freshwater fish into your home or office, and if you follow sound fishkeeping principles when setting up your tank it will bring you years of enjoyment. Planning your aquarium A visit to your local pet store or specialist fish breeder will help you decide on the type of fish you'd like to have in your new aquarium fish tank. The staff at the store will also help you decide on the right size tank for the space available and supply all the necessary equipment and accessories that you will require. However, don't buy any fish, yet! You'll need to establish your tank before you introduce any fish into it. The first step is to thoroughly clean the tank. Don't skip this important step just because the glass of the aquarium lo

One of the important steps in setting up your new aquarium is selecting the correct fish tank stand. The stand not only has to adequately support the tank itself, it can also serve a wider variety of needs. You certainly do not want to place your new fish tank on a flimsy bookcase or even a table. Fish tank stands are designed and constructed to hold the immense amount of weight to which they are subjected. Many beginner aquarists do not realize that a gallon of water weighs about 10 pounds. A small fish tank with 10 gallon capacity will hold about nine gallons of water when filled. It will also include a layer of gravel, various items of tank equipment and decorations. This small 10 gallon tank will therefore weigh at least 100 pounds! Sourcing Your Fish Tank Stand There is a wide variety

So you want to keep tropical fish and have a stunning aquarium sitting in your living room or anywhere else in your house for that matter. If you want your fish to thrive like the Asian carps instead of quickly vanish like the Roman anemones, it is important that you take the time to learn the basics about maintaining fish and proper aquarium maintenance before you set up your first fish aquarium. The first decision you must make when you decide to start an aquarium is whether you plan to keep freshwater fish or saltwater fish. It's up to you whether you want to keep saltwater or freshwater, but if this is your first aquarium, then I suggest you start with a freshwater aquarium. As they are a bit easier to maintain and the results are easier to achieve. Before you go out and buy some trop

Het kan voorkomen dat je wel eens problemen hebt met je aquarium. Dit overkomt iedere aquariaan dus daar hoef je je geen zorgen over te maken. Wat wel het probleem kan zijn is als je er niets aan doet. Soms moet je aan heel veel dingen denken en uiteraard vragen stellen op een forum voor een oplossing van je probleem is uiteraard goed.Wel merk ik steeds meer op dat de leden steeds meer moeten vragen wat je doet met je aquarium, hoeveel vissen, wat de waterwaardes zijn. Door een soort conclusie te kunnen trekken wat je eventueel zou kunnen hebben, zou je de volgende vragen kunnen beantwoorden.1. Hoe groot is je aquarium? ( bakmaat )2. Hoe lang draait je bak al?3. Hoe lang brand het licht?4. Wat zijn je waterwaardes?5. Hoeveel vissen en wat voor soort vissen zwemmen erin?6. Welke soort plant

Je zult wel denken, waarom nou Co2 toevoegen in een aquarium? Dit is soms nodig voor je planten. Door de planten gezond te houden, houd je de bak ook in evenwicht.Wat gebeurd er als er een tekort aan CO2 in het aquarium is:Als er geen vrije CO2 meer in het aquarium aanwezig is kunnen een groot aantal aquariumplanten nog overleven door CO2 op te nemen uit de carbonaten in het aquarium. Het gevolg hiervan is echter dat de carbonaathardheid van het aquarium zal dalen en de PH waarde sterk zal stijgen. Ook zullen een aantal planten het steeds moeilijker krijgen. Zo kunnen vooral planten die van nature in zuur water leven vaak maar moeilijk CO2 opnemen uit de carbonaten in het aquarium, terwijl planten die van nature in alkalisch water leven vaak de CO2 opnemen uit de carbonaten in het aquarium

The Aquadom built on 2003, is the largest cylindrical aquarium in the world and it is a 25-meter-high acrylic glass cylinder, 238,000 gallons of sea water, 2,600 fish from 56 different species, and two divers. In addition to it, in its core there's an elevator that travels through a cylinder of glass. It is located in the atrium of the 5-star Radisson SAS Hotel in Berlin Mitte, the $18.8 million aquarium is 36 feet in diameter and sits on a 29.5-foot-tall concrete foundation. Without a doubt, the most impressive thing about the aquarium from an engineering point of view is the glass surface. Built by Reynolds Polymer Technology, it required 41 R-Cast pannels, 26 for the outside cylinder and 15 panels for the inside, plus 16 on-site bonds. The precision o

Nu zal je wel denken, alweer een forum? Hmja eigenlijk wel. Ik wil natuurlijk met deze blog veel dingen duidelijk maken, laten zien en mijn eigen ervaringen vertellen. Maar als er gereageerd wordt op een blog en daar dan ook weer op gereageerd wordt dan kan zo'n blog erg groot worden.Mijn conclusie is dan dat het niet meer overzichtelijk blijft. Daarom heb ik vanaf nu de berichtenbutton op mijn blog uitgezet en een link naar het forum toegevoegd. Ik heb ook een speciaal forumgedeelte gemaakt voor deze weblog en waar je kan reageren op artikelen van deze blog. Er is dan een veel ruimere discussie hierdoor mogelijk.Het forum zelf noem ik: Het AquaVissie Forum, omdat ik dit een meest gangbare naam vind en ook bij mijn weblog hoort.Ook kan je zelf hele verhalen vertellen over je aquariums, wat

Uiteraard na de aanschaf komt het opstarten van een aquarium. Het belangrijkste van het opstarten van een aquarium is dat je deze laat rijpen. Je laat dan je aquarium 2 á 3 weken indraaien met achterwand, bodem, water en plantjes. Het belangrijkste is om te weten wanneer de nitrietpiek is geweest, na deze piek kan je dan rustig beginnen met vissen inzetten.Wat je nodig hebt om de bak in te draaien: * Een goedwerkend filter * Verwarmingselement * Licht * ThermometerWaarom zet ik "een goedwerkend filter" neer? Het kan zijn dat een filter bij aankoop stuk is ( dit kan gebeuren ) of dat je een tweedehands filter aanschaft. Met een klein aquarium voldoet een binnenfilter uistekend. Wordt de aquarium wat groter ( 100 cm ) kan je kiezen om een buitenfilter te nemen. Dit scheelt ook qua zwemruimt

I just admire the aquarium of a neighbor friend of mine, a lover of exotic pet fish, as she proclaims she is. Albeit most of his fish are goldfish; all are really quite large in size already, about more or less the size of a closed fist. Some ten or so wonderful, funny pet goldfish she has actually; they have been swimming up and about for a good two years with not one of them getting sick (according to my friend), much less earning that trip to pet heaven. Her 25-liter aquarium is the opposite of what I want mine to be, simple, with real sea weeds and no fancy ceramic decorations. This way my aquarium is not cluttered and there is more room for my pet fish to swim about. Still, my neighbor's fish tank took my fancy, if only because it is well maintained. What matters most to me with an aquarium is the water. It must be clear, not cloudy because non-filtering of the water. Obviously, the water is clear of pet fish food, which means only the right amount of pet food is given to t

When nature calls at the beachside Mumin Papa Cafe in the city of Akashi (Hyogo prefecture), patrons have the luxury of using an underwater restroom built into the side of a giant aquarium filled with exotic fish and a sea turtle that likes to watch. According to the cafe owner, the 30-million-yen ($270,000) sub-aquatic restroom is designed to recreate the pleasant sensation of relieving yourself while swimming in the ocean. Unfortunately for male patrons, however, the submerged toilet is for women only. When asked about the voyeuristic turtle, the owner admits it is male and a bit of a letch. Video.

(Great Barrier Reef/Australien). Meine Sicht: Frühschicht: 7 Uhr Aufstehen – das ist schlimm. Wir fahren zum Hafen und erfahren, dass wir insgesamt 66 Leute auf dem Boot sind. Das ist natürlich Mist. Andererseits ist es auf dem eineinhalb stündigen Weg zum Riff so wellig, dass wir wirklich froh sind, dass dieses Boot einigermaßen groß ist. Schon auf unserem Kutter müssen einige Leute ziemlich ekelhaft kotzen. Wir beide bleiben sauber und genießen die Fahrt zum Great Barrier Reef auf dem Sonnendeck – ach so heute ist es bedeckt und relativ kühl. Egal, kurz vor dem Atoll sehen wir eine kleine Gruppe Delfine im Wasser tollen und die kleine Insel, auf der wir landen ist wirklich malerisch. Unsere Gruppe ist eben einfach nur zu groß.

There are two basic types of aquarium heater (and a sub type) Another term for the automatic heater is a Non-Preset Heaters, while the Thermostatic heater is also referred to as a Preset Heater. PRESET HEATERS: The Thermostatic or Preset heater has a built in thermostat (or a remote sensor as is common in many titanium aquarium heaters). These heaters may use a digital thermostat, usually monitoring the impedance of a thermistor (a resistor used to measure temperature changes in the aquarium, relying on the change in its resistance with changing temperatures), or the potential across a thermocouple (a temperature sensor used to measure electric potential difference). There are many models of aquarium heaters available today that come preset or with a temperature gauge on the side of the heater or on the control knob to help the aquarist set the temperature. The aquarist should allow the heater to adjust to water temperature for 30 minutes before plugging in this type of heater to allow

Question about Dropsy: I posted about a female Siamese fighting fish (Betta) that appeared to have dropsy a few weeks ago. I treated her twice with Maracyn. After the swelling didn't start to go down, but she is still as swollen as she was then, but has not got to the point were her scales have started to protrude? Do you know what else that it could be. She seems buoyant and the swollen cavity appears to be filled by either air, of a clear liquid, when she swims in front of the lights? Answer:Have you tried Kanacyn? Maracyn (Erythromycin) is usually not effective for most causes of Dropsy. And dropsy is generally a symptom of something else, sometimes digestive, often kidney related. Because of this, Dropsy can often be very difficult to treat, especially if caught in an advanced case in the fish. What the aquarist often observes is a "pinecone" swelling generally caused by fluid building inside the body cavity, for this reason, reducing this swelling is an important step in effectin

Have you got yourself a new aquarium? If so, you need to have a plan on how you are going to fill it with those beautiful fish. Before you work out exactly which fish you want, you need to work out have many inches (or centimetres) of fish you can accommodate in your new aquarium. The fish will obviously have more room to swim and set up their territories in a larger aquarium, but more important than the size of the aquarium is the shape and proportions of the tank. A long, shallow tank will hold more fish than a short deep tank, even if they have exactly the same amount of water in each. The reason for this is that the oxygen content of the water depends on how easily it can be supplied. The only place this can happen is where the air meets the water, which is at the surface of the tank, so the larger the surface, the more oxygen available. Similarly, the carbon dioxide that the fish exhale has to be expelled from the water, and this also happens at the surface. So, to work out the ca

The Osaka Aquarium is without a doubt one of the best aquariums I have ever seen. The location on Osaka Bay is stunning. Even without the aquarium it would be a great place to watch ships coming and going. Just next to the aquarium an antique looking ship named Santa Maria takes tourists on sightseeing trips around the bay. Also, there is another Ferris Wheel nearby. The Japanese must love Ferris Wheels. I have seen more of them around the bay when I am flying and one is under construction near my hotel. The aquarium itself was awesome. I spent quite awhile going through it. There was a lot to see, with marine life from around the world. I took a lot of good video and pictures with my camera. Check this one out. Share This

This swing does the job and does it in less space than the standard baby swing. It folds up nicely and as the name says, you can "Take Along" with you anywhere. For a short while my son would only sleep at his babysitters house in this swing. The batteries last a long time. My only complaint is that it is super low to the ground and if you had a c-section, it's hard to get down that low in the first couple of weeks. I also noticed that this is not very good for an infant. I had to prop up pillows and blankets so Baby would not slouch down into the chair. The Fisher Price Aquarium Take Along swing is designed for an older infant.RATING: ***COMMENTS: Easy to transport and plays acceptable music. The motor makes a lot of noise.

I had no idea what I was doing when choosing items for our baby registry. I did know that I needed a bouncer and went with the Fisher Price Papasan Bouncer based purely on looks. This ended up being a LOUSY choice. Baby did not like this and I could not understand why. So many other Moms recommend that I get a bouncer, so why did my baby not like this one? Well, the Papasan Bouncer is BORING. We went over to a friends house and they had the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Bouncer. I put my son in it just to see his reaction and he LOVED it! He actually started crying when I took him out of it! On our way home from our friend's house we stopped at the store and purchased the Ocean Wonders Aquarium Bouncer!RATING: *****COMMENTS: Has a bunch of different settings and actually stays on for longer than 5 minutes (Papasan Bouncer has a very short "on" time). The sounds are: nursery rhymes and ocean sounds. Baby looks at bubbles and has toys he can kick. Has good Bounce a

Some people want to maintain a fish tank or aquarium if only because of its soothing or relaxing effect on the one looking at it. Who would not be relaxed when you stare at colorful pet fish swimming and moving about gracefully in front of you? Other love to have an aquarium and buy pet fish of various sizes shapes and colors if only because it adds a whole lot of aesthetic appeal to your home or office. Expensive decorations, gravel and sea rocks, live plants are acquired just to make the fish tank as attractive as possible. Speaking of plants, it is really advisable to use the live ones instead of the plastic plants that are stuck to the sand. Live plants or weeds have important use such as the production of oxygen for the tropical fish. They also serve as habitat for the fish and contribute to a very natural look of aquatic environment. When maintaining live sea plants, you have to supply them with adequate lights in order to ensure the promotion of growth. You might notice your f

You chanced upon the aquarium of a friend, and you were simply amazed with its presentation as well as the colorful variety of pet fish swimming over, under and around the rocks and sea weeds as well as the small figurines decorating the aquarium. Immediately, you want to take care of your own pet fish as well. Okay, having some tropical fish as pet can be a very exciting and even therapeutic hobby for anyone. But first of all, you have to decide on which pet tropical fish you would want to have. When I was small, I just love to have black mollies, if only because they are easy to reproduce. I would be surprised one morning that my fish tank was filled with tiny young black mollies. I was just disappointed to know that black mollies eat their young – I knew when their number grew less as days went by. I had to save the rest by separating them to another tank. I also like orange swordtail fish as pets, because they are what I call hardy fish. I just love their strong color, and what

So a few more pictures from my Long Beach Aquarium trip a few weeks ago. I’ve always wanted to see a sea turtle and was excited to finally see one..except that when I saw it, it was laying on the floor facing away. Came back an hour later and he was finally facing me! And to make up for it, he started to wake up and swim around. I’ve posted pictures and then I was actually able to get a video of it also! Check it out!

There is another world which sings to ours. Look into the water and you will find a vast serenity. The rhthymic grace of gills reminds you to relax. Breath and let go of your troubles. The vivd colors are sweets for your tired eyes. Sleek fins, both small and large glide through life, tugging your fast paced view into submision. While the relentless circling of the predators of the deep bestows undertones of a primal fear. So that you will not forget, that although the world has dulled them, you still have instincts.

MOTE Marine Laboratory was really fun for the kids. They dissected a squid, pet local stingrays, oggled hammerheads, heard all about the giant squid while leaning on the sarcophagus where it's shrunken and alarmingly awful looking carcass lies in state. They did the stupid penny squishing thing. We bought badges. I'm going to make a field trip and activity pillow for each of them for this year's things.It was a four hour drive round trip. They played a dino card game. Baby mostly slept or ate. I was tired, but made it.I feel so jaded. My dominating thought was they should get over their apparent aversion to a proper renovation overseen by actual museum exhibit designers. It's the Aquarium's 50th anniversary and it shows. I say it's time to get some grants and corporate sponsors with deep pockets and overhaul the place. They've got tons of space, but it's so poorly used. They do such great work, but they're doing it in a place Jacques Cousteau would think was state-of-the art.T

Near the base of the Oriental TV Tower is the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium where we paid a visit. The Aquarium has a total built in area of 20,500 square meters. It is made up of 9 different thematic zones such as China, South America, Australia, Southeast Asia, Coldwater, Antartic, Sea & Shore and Ocean zone. It has a collection of more than 450 species of aquatic animals from all over the world.

Wiki says: Giant sea bass were once a relatively common inhabitant of Southern California waters, yet in the 1980s it was facing the threat of local extinction off the California coast. Beginning in the late 1800s, the species supported both a commercial fishery taking hundreds of thousands of kg annually, and a sport fishery that also landed hundreds of fish each year. Spear fishermen also exploited the giant sea bass, first as free divers, and then after the mid 1950s using scuba gear. Often the divers would target the species when they moved into shallow water during the summer months to spawn. By the late 1970s, biologists with the California State Department of Fish and Game, recognized that the local population of giant sea bass was in serious trouble. Actions were taken, resulting in protection from commercial and sport fishing that went into effect in 1982. Yet for almost two decades encounters with giant sea bass were scarce. The giant sea bass reproduces slowly with a populat

From Wikipedia… “The Japanese spider crab, Macrocheira kaempferi, is the largest living arthropod; fully grown it can reach a leg span of almost 4 m (13 feet), a body size of up to 37 cm (15 inches) and a weight of up to 20 kg (44 pounds). The crab’s natural habitat is on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean (some 300-400 m deep) around Japan, where it feeds on dead animals and shellfish. It is believed to have a life expectancy of up to 100 years”. One of the more impressive displays I saw while at the aquarium was the Spider Crab. They had a tank with a handful of them and it was amazing the size of these crabs. The pictures below don’t capture the enormous sizes of these crabs compare to the ones we usually see. I kept on thinking “Deadliest Catch” from the Discovery Channel for some reason. haha. They were somewhat active as one tried to climb the front part of the tank giving everyone a great look at how wide it can expand. The tank itself

I went to the Long Beach Aquarium this weekend. What a great place. I took over 300 pictures that I’ll be sharing for awhile. haha. Also, going on the weekend is complete chaos. so many kids running around and it was like a stroller convention there. more pictures to come soon….

==========Bear HuntingBob was excited about his new rifle and decided to try bear hunting. He traveled up to Alaska, spotted a small brown bear and shot it. Soon after there was a tap on his shoulder, and he turned around to see a big black bear.The black bear said, "That was a very bad mistake. That was my cousin. I'm going to give you two choices. Either I maul you to death or we have sex."After considering briefly, Bob decided to accept the latter alternative. So the black bear had his way with Bob. Even though he felt sore for two weeks, Bob soon recovered and vowed revenge. He headed out on another trip to Alaska where he found the black bear and shot it dead. Right after, there was another tap on his shoulder. This time a huge grizzly bear stood right next to him.The grizzly said, "That was a big mistake, Bob. That was my cousin and you've got two choices: Either I maul you to death or I have sex with you." Again, Bob thought it was better to cooperate with the grizzly bear tha

Aquarium lighting is often the last item a person is thinking about when buying an aquarium. The lighting of an aquarium, however, is very important. There are 4 different kinds of aquarium setups that may require different kinds of aquarium lighting: Freshwater - fish only. Freshwater - fish and plants. Salt water – fish only. Saltwater – fish and corals. The most light-sensitive aquarium set up is the aquarium with saltwater fish and corals.Corals are categorized as animals, not plants, and therefore they are feeding from the light. So the proper aquarium lighting is very crucial and will make the difference between growing beautiful and lustrous corals and having them die in your reef tank. Light is very important for all forms of life. It is no different for all the different forms of life in your aquarium. Corals and fresh water plants are especially in need of proper light conditions. When growing corals, it is of great importance to change light bulbs regularly. To have pr

I wanted to go on an adventure for my summer break so one day I took a trip to Adventure Aquarium. I felt happy about going to the waterfront. I had went inside to see the underwater animals. I wanted to see everything there.In the aquarium I saw sharks, jelly fish, penguins, needle fish, sea dragons. I was excited to see the sharks. I did a project about sharks a long time ago. The shark was bigger than a great white sharks. I think I saw thirty sharks. Some other sharks weighed over 100,000 pounds. I thought the sharks were cool. I wanted to see the sharks in person. I saw people swimming with the sharks in the shark realm. I didn't swim with them because I was too young. You have to be twelve years old or older to swim with the sharks. Most of the jelly fish were blue and they are called moon jelly fish. The pink jelly fish gave birth. I had a chance to touch them. I touched them with two fingers. They were squooshy. The penguins stood on a little island around water. They eat fish

THE Shanghai Ocean Aquarium plans to add three rare fish that have never been exhibited in the country before to its collection - the freshwater lionfish, sisorid catfish and sea apples. The freshwater lionfish has a big brown head that accounts for one-third of its total length. It has spines on its skin that can cause pain if brushed against, but they pose no other threat, aquarium officials said. The sisorid catfish is found in the mountain rivers of India, Myanmar and China and can grow to 12 centimeters in length. It has a flattened body with an adhesive organ on its stomach, which allows the fish to stick to rocks and maintain its position in turbulent water. Sea apples are a kind of sea cucumber that is yellow, orange and purple. When sensing extreme danger, they produce toxic compounds, which can be released after death as well. source: ShanghaiDaily.com

Placed at the lobby of the Radisson SAS Hotel in Berlin, the 25 meters high AquaDom is the largest cylindrical aquarium ever built. Filled with about 900,000 liters of seawater, it contains some 2600 fish of 56 species. Combined with a vast amount of sandblasted glass, the giant AquaDom gives a transparent-like feeling to the lobby. Guests and visitors are able to travel through the aquarium in a glass-enclosed elevator to reach a sightseeing point and restaurant under the glass roof. Two full-time divers are responsible for the care and feeding of the fish and maintenance of the aquarium. Some of the interior rooms and suites look out over the atrium, offering "ocean views" of the AquaDom.ConstructionThe AquaDom was opened in December 2003. It cost about 12.8 million euros. The acrylic glass cylinder was constructed by the U.S. company Reynolds Polymer Technology. The outside cylinder was manufactured on-site from four pieces; the inside cylinder for the elevator was delivered in one

ATLANTA- Two large trucks with police escorts flashing their lights rumbled up to the world’s largest aquarium early Friday with its newest residents—two whale sharks that had made an 8,000-mile journey from Taiwan. Veterinarians measured the new sharks and took blood samples before they were transferred by canvas harness from the trucks into their new home. The aquarium’s other whale sharks, Norton, Alice and Trixie, circled nearby, seemingly curious about the newcomers…… source:mercurynews.com

Arowana command a high price with some even being “tagged” with an ID chip to prove authenticity. I’ve seen arowana being sold for a few thousand to even to the price of a small car. But this one is the most expensive fish I have ever seen….and being a fish lover, it’s worth every penny…that i don’t have. One of the most photographed fish at Aquarama 2007 is also one of the show’s most expensive - a platinum arowana with a mortgage-inducing price tag. The fish is an Osteoglossum species from South America, rather than the usual Scleropages from Asia, and is owned by Singapore-based Dragon fish breeder Aro Dynasty. Unlike most Osteoglossum, this mutant is virtually white with virtually no other colours present, not even on the dorsal surface.It was recently offered for sale to prospective buyers by a UK arowana importer for more than £200,000.However, Aro Dynasty told Practical Fishkeeping Online that the fish is no longer on the mark
