Filter Aquarium

A female usually lays 1,000-2,000 eggs. The eggs are opaque at first, turning transparent in 24 hours. After the eggs are laid, both parents watch over the eggs, wafting the eggs with their fin and guarding them against predators. Occasionally they take the eggs in their mouth, which keeps them clean and turns up bad eggs, which are then destroyed.

If a constant tank temperature is maintained, the eggs should hatch in abou

Once again, degrading environmental conditions are generally the root cause of difficulties. Isolation and treatment in a separate system, not the main.

Summary:

There are several very different, and exciting, kinds of cold water marine environments, rocky shore, mud flat, varying tidal environments, each with distinctively different mixes of life. By all means please read my favorite "text", Thomas Niesens Marine Biology Co

Adding Food For Your Microbes:

A few companies make ammonia available as products to nutrify developing bacterial populations in new systems. These or fish foods of any sorts can be added in small quantities to speed along the establishment of nutrient cycling.

What Happens in Your System:

A new tank is essentially sterile, bereft of all life forms. By your making conditions of certain ranges, like temperature and salinity, you set the stage for what sorts of life will be favored. Furthermore, stocking the system w

Biological media used in wet-dry filters can vary widely. The types of media used include plastic ball media, DLS (Double Layer Spiral) material, sintered (porous) glass, and many others. Although some media are better than others, all have one thing in common, and that is high surface area for bacteria cultivation.

The water entering the wet-dry filter usually feeds into an area above the wet-dry chamber, equipped with a trickle plate. The

This does not satisfy most aquarium owners who usually want a lot more fish in their aquariums.

Sponge Filters: These are simple air or water pump operated filters that drive water through a porous cellulose sponge which is a great media for cultivating beneficial bacteria. These filters are typically used in smaller aquaria, or in breeding tanks where they do not pose a danger to tiny baby fish that might get sucked i

Fish Out of Water
Although Boni Comandante Jr.’s technique is intended to ship fish used for food, the idea of putting fish to 'sleep' and then transporting them without water is an interesting one.....

African Cichlids in the aquarium

Cyprichromis leptosoma

The most popular African cichlids come from Lake Malawi and lake Tanganyika. The cichlids from lake Malawi are generally more colorful, but the cichlids from lake Tanganyika have a more diverse breeding behavior. Ma.
