Hi, Welcome to my latest aquarium movie. You can see the ealier little angelfish (fry’s), seen in the movie before, now growing up. Will be updated very soon again. Thanx for watching. Angelfish in the fishkeeping hobby: A group of Pterophyllum Altum.Angelfish are one of the most commonly kept freshwater aquarium fish, as well as the most commonly kept cichlid. They are prized for their unique shape, color and behavior. Many hobbyists consider angelfish to be a relatively intelligent fish, able to recognize their owners. Species: The most commonly kept species in the aquarium is Pterophyllum scalare. Most of the individuals the aquarium trade are captive-bred. Sometimes, Pterophyllum altum is available. Captive bred P. altum are usually not available. Pterophyllum leopoldi is the hardest to find in the trade. Care: Angelfish are kept in a warm aquarium, ideally around 80 °F (27 °C). They will do best if fed a mixture of flake, frozen and live food. Care should be taken to not overfeed, they will continue to eat even what they do not need to. This will lead to a buildup of fats resulting in inactivity and early death. Angelfish will do best if kept in an acidic environment, pH should be below 7.5 (note: 7.5 is still slightly alkaline – acidic is defined as below 7.0). All angelfish will prefer water with a pH of at most 7.0. Though most Pterophyllum scalare will thrive in a wide range of pH values. Even though angelfish are a member of the Cichlid family they are generally

Geosesarma notophorum (AKA Crabs “Mandarin”)

This terrestrial freshwater crab is from Pulau Lingga, an island east of Sumatra (Indonesia). In general its body is light brown to brown with purple areas, especially the back end of the carapace which shows more or less blueish. The C-shaped groove in the middle is maroon as a rule. It was first described by Peter KL Ng and Cheryl GS Tan in 1995. This crab lives at a height of 1000-1300 m above sea level. Geo. notophotum is omnivores. They can take frozen food such as brine shrimp, mosquito larvae, cyclops) as well as fish flakes, granules and fruit. However, the foods need to provide calcium such as: cuttlebone or egg shells as needed. This attractive Crab is successfully bred in captivity and also it is easy to take care of.

Mandarin Dragonet Training

This is old footage of my green/blue mandarin dragonet. It was kept inside a plastic container for a few weeks, and fed a diet of live brine shrimp which gradually transitioned to frozen mysis and arctipods. It’s now been released into the biocube, and readily welcomes a variety of food. -TBM Visit My Blogger: thebettamaster.blogspot.com

A one-hour naturalist-guided canoe tour through Mono Lake, provided by the Mono Lake Commitee to bring awareness to the importance of protecting the lake as a vital water resource. Mono Lake is a high-desert lake and one of the most biologically productive lakes in North America. Bubbling springs, alkali flies, brine shrimp, underwater tufa towers, migrating birds are one of the many things to admire in this beautiful Sierra Nevada surroundings. Not mentioning how much fun it was to find myself floating in its amazing crystaline salty waters!
