I know he is not even closely relevant to aquariums, especially not to home aquariums. I just saw the post here and couldn’t resist linking to it.

The Japanese have some really bizarre sea creatures that’s for sure.

I remember when I had my first tank or more accurately when my parents first tried to start an aquarium. I was about 10 or 12 years old can’t really remember.

I kept on watching the fish in the tank and was very worried they don’t get enough food, that some fish get all the food before others have a chance.

I knew I was not supposed to give them extra food but I just wanted to be sure they all get enough so I always gave them a little extra.

Sure enough they started to die and my father asked a friend to check the tank and he found the extra food and took me to a talk explaining the whole right feeding issue in a way that finally made sense enough that I agreed to accept that the amount of fish food I was directed to give was absolutely enough.

If you too, or an over protective friend or family has similar problems too believing the feeding instructions that they get from you or from the store then this guide is perfect for you.

Found the link on the Pet Havens when I was checking my reading, another indication that reading blogs is good for you.

Everyone I know have new fry at their tank I don’t know if it is something in the air or just people have more time for their tanks during the summer.

I do know that it is really fun to see all the little ones starting their lives. I’ve even suggested some trade between few friends so we’ll got few new fish from each others tank.

At the big aquariums such as the one in Long Beach there are many visitors, I visit occasionally the aquariums that are close to home and so I took a few friends and made a visit. We were there when the snappers where fed and they sure can eat it was almost funny seeing them going after the food.

If you have a planted tank you might want to consider the celestial pearl danios formerly known as galaxy rasboras for your aquarium.

They breed easily as long as you remember to separate the parents from the fry or you’re going to have no fry left as they turn it into a meal.

I’ve read that Sarah from Northern Lights Aquatic Fish Blog decided to try and leave them all at the same tank and I wonder if there would be any fry left, interesting experiment I must say.

Did you know that the celestial eye goldfish was developed by the Chinese and Later on improved by the Japanese by selective breeding until the point when his eyes are constantly looking upward?

Found this piece of information here.

Maybe it is just me but I kind of feel sorry for the little fellow for not being able to look at any other direction.

Anyway he is a very interesting fish and it was mostly the process of artificially changing a fish just to be able to call his stargazer and attribute him all kind of properties that has caught my attention.
