My hobby is their fish guppies, so I will share tips and ways to tip the fish breed guppies, to want to start a new interest in martial fish guppies. Fish guppies are the easiest fish for breeding and can reproduce in a short time only. The most important thing here is to keep the pH of the water and be where the fish breed and how to feed the fish.

Water suitable for fish guppiesSome people think just the fish alone, the only water park in her will to live. Fish must have water, but water pH she was there. I always use anti chlorine according to a given measure. Fish can not live in chlorinated water or tap water.

If you want to use tap water, to keep down for 2 or 3 days, so that the chlorine is gone. Another way is dependent on rain water shall be well. For me, I did not measure pH with a pH measuring instrument, but adequate follow the syllabus of anti chlorine or use only rain water or filtered water.

Fighting Fish Promised Returns

Fish breed Laga (Betta species Splenden) Give Fair Return

REALLY strange to know that there are women who are so interested in ornamental fish is much less fish is the Betta species Splenden or better known as a fighting fish. But for Mariyati Abdullah, 54, world of ornamental fish is not the right man but he just proves even further the interest in converting it into a profitable business.

Opening the story while visiting his home that has made ​​fighting fish breeding areas, Mariyati said, everything started from a hobby to enjoy their fish matches at home like most people. Hobby that has prompted him to buy five pairs of fighting fish from Thailand which in turn paved the way for him to enter the business world more seriously. Breeds of fish are bought when they consist of varieties halfmoon, crown tail, short tail, double tail fighting fish and other species of wild fighting fish. Unexpectedly fighting fish he bought it to reproduce rapidly in a short enough time forcing him to build a separate breeding areas and larger in the home.

Looking at the response the public and through the help of a friend who is willing to become a distributor, then Mariyati determination to convert his hobby of business and working hard until the animal had reached 10.000 pieces in any one time. "Interestingly the breeding fighting fish is, it is always well received among the people apart, not many entrepreneurs who are really working on it for the market,''he said.

But he admitted that fighting fish care is rather complicated and fussy, especially in terms of maintenance of water and food are two important aspects in ensuring that the percentage of living children a high fighting fish. Water for example, need to be replaced two days, while food will be given twice daily. In addition to certain content that is not too much water, it must also be free of chlorine either by technology or anti chlorine filters are available in the market. If using regular tap water, it should be allowed to advance at least 2 to 3 days before they can be used.

Food was given in the morning and evening either worm or red wiggler and he himself has produced its own red worms using the method learned from a friend. "red worms can also be found in any ornamental fish shop in tablet form and should be wet before given to fighting fish. "However, I do not encourage fighting fish fed pallet as it affects water quality,''he said. Add Mariyati fighting fish, can grow to five inches with a life lived for about two years.

Male fighting fish is more beautiful and larger than females and the mating process typically will occur after fighting fish reach the age of about three months. For the purpose of mating, the male and female fighting fish will be placed in the same container for about two to three days and confirmed the mating process occurs when the female fighting fish fighting fish away from the male. Currently, female fighting fish fighting fish will be isolated and left to take care of the male fish eggs until they hatch in buihnya which is about a few days later. Once hatched the fry, which amounted to hundreds of fish are caught to prevent it in the food by adult males and placed in a larger container.

According Mariyati, fighting fish received encouraging response due to its beauty and unique colors and patterns are painted on the wings and the price is higher if both factors are increasingly evident. The wing is also fighting fish are within a half months is like a beautiful fan at the age of two and a half months to four months of the most beautiful and awaited by fans.

New Polychaete Derived AquaThrive Food is Fish Approved

AquaThrive is a new dry aquarium feed unlike any other. Using a patented process, the pellets are made from fresh cultured (Terebellid) Polychaete worms. This is a sustainable alternative to fish meal which dominates the fish food industry. It also may prove more valuable to specialized Polychaete feeders such as some Butterflyfish species… hence I.



AquaThrive is a new dry aquarium feed unlike any other. Using a patented process, the pellets are made from fresh cultured (Terebellid) Polychaete worms. This is a sustainable alternative to fish meal which dominates the fish food industry. It also may prove more valuable to specialized Polychaete feeders such as some Butterflyfish species… hence I had to try them out.

Ingredients:


* Fishmeal
* Polychaetes
* Cereal
* Squid
* Seaweed
* Brewers Yeast
* Mussel
* Fish Oil
* Lecithin
* Spirulina

Besides the inclusion of farmed Polychaetes, what really separates this pellet food is the fat content. It is a staggering 11%! This is more then double the amount found in Hikari Marine-A (5%). This can be a good thing, particularly for juvenile marine fish with fast metabolisms, but must be used wisely. AquaThrive’s protein numbers hit 45% which put them in range with the leaders, while its listed ash and phosphorus properities are a percentage point or two lower than other popular brands.



The overall scent is not as strong as its competitors such as Hikari and Spectrum. However, it is interesting that the AquaThrive food illicits a much stronger coral response than other dry pellets. Even Azooxanthellate corals quickly open when this hits the water.

To test this new food I used it to condition this juvenile Prognathodes marcellae. (Reason being, my other acclimated fish will eat anything and everything!) Three weeks on a diet of Aquathrive and mysis and this fish gained significant bodymass–enough that this 2″ specimen could easily hold its own with larger 5″ Chaetodonts. While not a controlled application, I do believe the fish gained this mass quicker. I currently use Aquathrive weekly to vary the diet of the fishes, but feed it heavier when receiving fish to increase energy stores quickly. In my experience thus far, all fish have readilly accepted AquaThrive, but the 1mm oblong size can be difficult for larger fish. AquaThrive does offer a 1.5mm pellet, but I would not mind seeing larger 2mm and 3mm sizes come to fruition.



For our beloved finned friends, variety is indeed the spice of life. Overall, AquaThrive appears to be a clean, palatable food for ornamental marine fish that adds another food option for aquarists.
