Breeding for Beginners

"Breeding for Beginners"," You can take immense pride in achieving this, but is particularly true for the more difficult species to breed.


Mollies Guppies, Swordtails and Platys are fantastic fish for beginners to breed.
 These fish come in an enormous variety of colours and patterns and are great for beginner breeders to hone their newly acquired skills

Probably THE most important tip on breeding tropical fish that bear live young is to keep the baby fish, called fry, away from the rest of your community tank.
 If you don't your breeding efforts will be in vain.


Your best bet to avoid this fate is to use a separate breeding tank with lots of plants and foliage for the fry to hide in.


Water temperature and tank size are both very important when it comes to conditioning tropical fish.
 Fish are conditioned to breed when the water temperature signals to them that it is breeding season.
 As a general rule, larger tanks tend to produce larger numbers of fry in one birth as well.
 However as it isn't always possible to obtain 'specialist food', nowadays a well balanced diet can be provided easily in the form of high quality flaked or similar prepared food.


The joy that you get from breeding fish will be all the more if you follow these basic rules.

The Secrets Of Goldfish Care

"The Secrets Of Goldfish Care","  Goldfish need well oxygenated water so you'll want to pick a tank that has a lot of surface area - or area where the water meets the air.
  I know a lot of people keep their goldfish in a bowl, but this isn't really a very good environment for a fish and it certainly won't allow for you to expand and add other fish to your collection.
  Goldfish, in general are actually pretty messy fish and they can pollute their own water pretty quickly.
  Plus they will eat too much and then poop more and their waste in the water will also start to decay.


Doing partial water changes, about 25% of the total water changed out once a month, is a must to keep your goldfish happy and healthy.
  You want to look for little white spots that almost look like salt which is a disease called Ichtyopthirius and needs to be treated right away.
  Make sure you keep the tank at a constant temperature and that the PH level remains within the preferred range.
  Feeding him a varied diet consisting of flake foods, brine shrimp and blood worms will help keep them healthy.

Tropical Fish Fun - The New Tank

"Tropical Fish Fun - The New Tank"," So we decided to reconstruct the fireplace - a typical modern affair with no real quality or style - into a 7 foot long 4 foot deep paradise for fish and eventually into an African Cichlid sanctuary. The tank was to stand on ornamental stone blocks which a local builder fixed in place. The first trip to the store My excitement was extreme as we made our way to the local store to get the bits and pieces we would need to start off: o the gravel o the filter and aerator o the lighting o the heater o the cleaner (gravel vac). At this time there was no need to be particular as water disturbs the gravel when it is first added. At this point I added some water purifiers and de-chlorinator to the tank. These all remained switched off until I was finished in the tank. Next all the equipment was turned on and left for two days. The first fish. Mollies, swordtails, platies or guppys are ideal to get your water up to scratch. So only add a few fish at first or the waste will kill the fish before the bacteria gets to work. This was just to get the water temperatures equalised, and then over a period of a couple of minutes I let some of the tank water in the bag a couple of times. Technically the fish waste is ammonia and needs to be broken down by bacteria into nitrite, and then later on into nitrate which is what helps the plants grow. Even then my advice would be to add fish slowly til the are all established. My wife and I eventually decided that tanganyika cichlids and malawi cichlids were our real tropical fish hobby (with some dwarf Kribs thrown in) and we managed to breed a few different types including labidochromis caeruleus or more commonly Canary cichlids, and also neolamprologus leleupi or the tanganyika yellow. In the evenings now we just switch the television off, cuddle up and watch the fish tank - and soothe our worries away. STOP WASTING TIME CLICK HERE
