My Experience-Curled Tendrils

red crowntail betta fish

Melba wrote: I bought a beautiful red crowntail who was prancing and flaring while at the store. I brought him home, put him in a one gallon footed bowl with pretty colored glass and his own little house for hiding and resting. I used tap water with a proper water conditioner. Within a couple of weeks his lovely tendrils began to curl up. A week or so later his appetite … [Read more...] about My Experience-Curled Tendrils

What’s Wrong with my Betta?

What's Wrong with my Betta?

Wouldn't it be nice if our bettas could talk to us and simply tell us that something was wrong? A silly thought of course. Although not through the use of vocabulary, our bettas do communicate to us when something is wrong. It is up to us, the betta owners, to pay close attention to the habits and routines of our little finned friends. We need to look them over, study them … [Read more...] about What’s Wrong with my Betta?

Azoo Palm Aquariums

Palm Aquarium Ease

What another wonderful little death trap for bettas. And the only thing the azoo website has to say is this: The AZOO Palm Aquarium is designed to be small and decorative. Aside from traditional glass bowls, the Palm Aquarium gives uniqueness and beauty like no other. Small and decorative it is. The shapes are lovely and the colors are superb-but these little creations … [Read more...] about Azoo Palm Aquariums

Breeding Microrasbora sp. “Galaxy”

This is a newly discovered fish from Myanmar in August, 2006. It has gotten a lot of attention in the aquarium trade and fish keepers around the globe. It has quite a few common trade names. They are sold under the Galaxy rasbora, Fireworks rasbora, Rasbora toei, Celestial pearl danio and of course the Microrasbora sp. "Galaxy". However the scientific name is now known as … [Read more...] about Breeding Microrasbora sp. “Galaxy”

Tropheus brichardi ‘Mpimbwe’

I bought 20 Tropheus brichardi 'mpimbwe' from Jeff Black in April 1997. Actually, I had wanted T. dubosi, but he didn't have any. I had a 75 gal just bubbling away, cycled and waiting for some fish, and Jeff showed me these little (2cm) striped guys and, well, you know the story, the next thing I know, I'm driving home with these fish in a bag. I thought I had … [Read more...] about Tropheus brichardi ‘Mpimbwe’

Tropheus? No and Yes

Lets start with the "no" which began about three years ago. Although Im not a fan of African cichlids, I am a fan of West African cichlids, and one of the few source books on this group is "Cichlids from West Africa", by Linke and Staeck. This book created a desire for many fish rarely seen in the hobby and started my West African wish list. The last fish on my list was "The … [Read more...] about Tropheus? No and Yes

Neolamprologus leleupi

I have always admired this fish but had not had any success in keeping it in my tanks. I found myself in a local pet shop looking at the most brilliant yellow leleupi I had seen in many years. The store clerk must have picked up on my interest, maybe I had lingered too long, and joined me to watch these young fish swim around the tank. After a short discussion I was the owner … [Read more...] about Neolamprologus leleupi

Chalinochromis sp. “Ndobnoi”

In the hobby, the genus Chalinochromis takes a back seat to Julidochromis in popularity. It’s hard to see why after keeping and spawning these small, relatively peaceful fish. Fish of the genus Chalinochromis are very similar to Julidochromis in body type, with long, thin bodies. They tend to have a white background color over which dark markings may be present depending on the … [Read more...] about Chalinochromis sp. “Ndobnoi”

The Columbian Tetra

The Columbian Tetra or Blue-Red Columbian Tetra is a fish with a very chequered past, considering its relatively short life within the hobby. Only available for the past few years, the fish was first collected in a small stream upstream from Acandi, in the Rio Acandi drainage system near the Atlantic coast of Colombia. It was described as being "close to" Hyphessobrycon … [Read more...] about The Columbian Tetra

Breeding The Panda Cat

Corydoras panda

Last October I was at my favorite pet shop and happened upon four young Corydoras panda. To my mind these cats are really pretty. They are a shade of pink-orange with black markings on the dorsal fin, eyes, and caudal peduncle. The markings are what led to the name Panda Cory. They get to be 4.5 cm (1 3/4”) standard length. They originate from the Ucayali river system of Peru. … [Read more...] about Breeding The Panda Cat
