Swordtail


Wild Swordtails are found from southern Mexico and down to Guatemala in Central America. The name Swordtail is derived from the body of the male Swordtail. The bottom ray of his caudal fin is extended, and points out from the body like a sword. The female Swordtail is without sword, and she can also be distinguished from the male by her more rounded body shape. Today you choose between red, black, green, albino and even neon coloured Swordtails since Swordtails have been extensively bred in captivity during many years. You can also choose between a lot of different Swordtail types, such as the Red Simpson, the Spotted Swordtail, the Gold tux Swordtail and the fanciful Lyretail.

Indonesia's psychedelic fish named a new species

A funky, psychedelic fish that bounces on the ocean floor like a rubber ball has been classified as a new species, a scientific journal reported. The frogfish - which has a swirl of tan and peach zebra stripes that extend from its aqua eyes to its tail - was initially discovered by scuba diving instructors working for a tour operator a year ago in shallow waters off Ambon island in eastern Indonesia.
The operator contacted Ted Pietsch, lead author of a paper published in this month's edition of Copeia, the journal of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, who submitted DNA work identifying it as a new species.
The fish - which the University of Washington professor has named "psychedelica" - is a member of the antennariid genus, Histiophryne, and like other frogfish, has fins on both sides of its body that have evolved to be leg-like.
But it has several behavioral traits not previously known to the others, Pietsch wrote.
Each time the fish strike the seabed, for instance, they push off with their fins and expel water from tiny gill openings to jet themselves forward. That, and an off-centered tail, causes them to bounce around in a bizarre, chaotic manner.

Transparent fish


The icefishes (or white-blooded fishes) are a family (Channichthyidae) of perciform fish found in the cold waters around Antarctica and southern South America.

Their blood is transparent because they have no hemoglobin and/or only defunct erythrocytes. Their metabolism relies only on the oxygen dissolved in the liquid blood, which is believed to be absorbed directly through the skin from the water. This works because water can dissolve the most oxygen when it is coldest. In five species, the gene for myoglobin in the muscles has also vanished, leaving them with white instead of pink hearts.

Amphiprion chrysopterus - Orange-fin anemonefish


The orange-fin anemonefish or orange-fin clownfish, Amphiprion chrysopterus, is a clownfish, found in the Western Pacific north of the Great Barrier Reef from the surface to 20 m. It can grow to 16 cm in length.

It feeds on mainly zooplankton and algae.

it changes colors.The tail fins can go from orange to yellow. The main belly can go from brown to black. The stripes can go from blue to white. And the tail fin is always white.

Premnas biaculeatus - Maroon clownfish




White Stripe Maroon Clown Fish - Premnas biaculeatus: The Maroon Clownfish, also known as the Spine-Cheeked Anemonefish or Maroon Anemonefish, has a bold, red body color with a broad white stripe on the forehead, and white stripes on its midsection and in front of the anal fin. The Yellowstripe Maroon Clownfish is similar to the Maroon Clownfish except it has yellow stripes on the forehead, midsection, and tail, instead of white. They are strikingly beautiful, with the trademark spine on their cheeks. As juveniles, the Yellowstripe Maroon Clowns will have white stripes that will gradually turn yellow as they mature.

All the other 26 known Clownfish species belong to the genus Amphiprion, but the Maroon Clownfish belongs to the genus Premnas. Both Amphiprion and Premnas are included in the family Pomacentridae, a family that also includes the Damselfish species.

A 30 gallon or larger aquarium is desirable for the Maroon Clownfish as is a host anemone such as the Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). It is aggressive towards other clownfish.

Tank raised clownfish are very hardy and durable fish making them a perfect addition for the novice or seasoned aquarist. If introduced to the aquarium at the same time, many varieties of tank raised clowns can be maintained together in the aquarium.

Do not move the Maroon Clownfish with a net as its cheekspines will become entangled. Use a specimen container if capture is necessary.

The Maroon Clownfish likes frozen shrimp and herbivore preparations. Because of its spines, this clownfish should not be caught using a net in case the spines get entangled. The stripes across the body are normally white, but can also be golden. The female is usually larger than the male, and the male is usually a deeper color red, although this is not true for every set of maroon clowns.

The Maroon Clownfish is a popular aquarium species and it is not very difficult to keep if you known how to keep a basic saltwater aquarium. It is a very beautiful fish and will look stunning in any aquarium set up. The entire body is maroon red and decorated with three very distinct white stripes; one on the forehead, one on the midsection and one just in front of the anal fin.

The Maroon Clownfish can be aggressive, especially towards other Clownfish regardless of species. Housing it with other Clownfish is therefore unadvisable unless you have a very large and well decorated aquarium. A male and a female can however do well together if they are compatible. The Maroon Clownfish will usually only display severe aggressive behavior toward non-clownfish species if a fish tries to venture into the territory claimed by the Maroon Clownfish. Since the Maroon Clownfish is a predator, it should naturally not be kept with fish that is small enough to be considered pray.

Social Behaviors: The Maroon Clownfish is generally easy to keep.

Habitat: The Maroon Clownfish, is a type of clownfish that are found in the eastern Indian Ocean, from Malaysia to Queensland.

Maximum Size: They can grow up to be about 16 centimeters (6. 3 inches), and as they grow, they get more aggressive to other clownfish. They are also known as the Spine-Cheeked Clownfish, or the Maroon Anemonefish.

Minimum Tank Size: They are suggested to have a 30-gallon tank. It normally likes to have a host anemone such as the Bubble Tip Anemone.

Feeding and Diet: The Maroon Clownfish diet consists of meaty items such as frozen shrimp and herbivore preparations. They feed all kinds of live, frozen, and flake foods. Best to feed small amounts several times a day. In a reef situation they don't really need to be fed very often at all.

Amphiprion sebae - Sebae clownfish


The True Sebae clownfish is a beautiful and hardy fish recommended for beginners. Aggressive only towards its own species it won’t harm smaller fish. Keep only 1 individual per aquarium. The A. True Sebae is easily confused with the Clarkii clownfish; it is so difficult to differentiate them that some specialists are beginning to consider that they may be in fact the same species.

True Sebae clownfish can be kept safe with invertebrates. They will eat almost anything it is fed, but the diet should include meaty food items such as chopped shrimp and herbivore preparations. A high quality marine flake food, rich in spirulina algae, as well as freeze dried and frozen foods are readily accepted. They will also graze on any algae in the aquarium.

The True Sebae clownfish does not need an Anemone to survive, but will accept many different Anemones as its host, including corals. It is probably the least picky when it comes to Anemones and will accept Carpet Anemones, Bubble Tip Anemones, Sebae Anemone, or Long Tentacle Anemones as its host.

If the anemone dies, or there is no anemone, the clownfish will adapt by feeding its rock. It will literally chose a rock in the aquarium as its own, and faithfully drop food on it at every feeding, and even sleep near it at night.

Unlike other fishes clownfish are born with no determined sex, meaning they can change sex. In a group of clownfishes the largest individual will become a female, the second largest clownfish will become a male. If you remove the female from the school the the current male will change to female and the next larger individual will become a male.

A pair will lay eggs along the base of the host anemone, using it to protect the eggs. The eggs normally appear orange in color.

The eggs will normally hatch in 6-11 days depending on the temperature. Is extremely important to remove the fry the first day from the tank. Rear them separately on a diet of rotifers and baby brine shrimp.

Other Names: Sebae Anemonefish.

Family: Pomacentridae | Species: Amphiprion sebae
Tank Conditions: 72-78°F; sg 1.020-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4; dKH 8-12
Size: 6 in (15 cm)
Diet: Omnivorous
Temperament: Semi-aggressive.

Percula Clownfish ( Amphiprion Percula )



The Clownfish is supposed to be on of the cutest fish in the world. It is approximately 6 cm (2.4 inches) long with a weight of only few grams. It has got a typical body shape with a vivid orange-white-black coloration.
It has got a bright orange-brown body with 3 irregular shaped white stripes. The first one is just behind its eyes whereas the last one is situated on the tail fin. It has got tiny black eyes. It is distributed in western and eastern part of the Pacific Ocean. Understandably these bright fishes can be also found in plenty of aquariums all around the world as well. The spawns can be found on clear corals or rocks. Before the birth both parents take care of the laid eggs.
Amphiprion percula has got a very useful and worth symbiosis with the sea anemone. This anemone obtains a huge number of stingy cells. These cells are located on the sea anemone’s tentacles. The cells contain a highly poisonous substance which may cause even death to some fishes. That means that a subtle touch/sting may be lethal for plenty of fishes. Most of the fishes’ skin obtains glutathione, which is the amino-acid in the fish’s skin, and this substance triggers the sea anemone’s cells. Fortunately the clownfish lacks this substance therefore they are immune to its stings. In case of emergency or an attack the clownfish hide inside the sea anemone, which protects them. Other fish which are vulnerable to its stings end up their lives as a sea anemone’s food.
On the other hand the sea anemone has also got a benefit from the clownfish. They eat food debris located on the anemone’s surface. This debris would be otherwise harmful to the sea anemone because of the bacteria. Besides debris the clownfish also feed on sea plankton.

Clark's anemonefish (Amphiprion clarkii)


Clark's anemonefish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clark's Anemonefish or Yellowtail Clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii, family Pomacentridae) with sea anemone.

Clark's anemonefish or the Yellowtail clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii) is a widely distributed clownfish. It is found in tropical waters, in lagoons and on outer reef slopes, from the Persian Gulf to Western Australia and throughout the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean as far as Melanesia and Micronesia, and as far north as Taiwan, southern Japan and the Ryukyu Islands.

Clark's Anemonefish is a spectacularly colourful fish, with vivid black, white and yellow stripes, though the exact pattern shows considerable geographical variation. There are normally two white bands, one behind the eye and one above the anus. The tail fin may be white or yellow, but is always lighter than rest of the body.

Clarke's Anemonefish are a popular aquarium species. They are omnivorous, and in the aquarium will readily eat brine shrimp. They will regularly host in many sea anemones in the home aquarium.

Amphiprion allardi - Allard's clownfish


 Allard's Clownfish are readily available, reasonably priced, and fairly easy to keep. Their host anemones are also generally available. These fish have been bred in captivity and the fry successfully reared. The Allard's Clownfish is a bold striking specimen. It is a great fish for a new aquarist.

  This fish will do well in a either a coral-rich tank or in a fish only tank. Provide some open space for free swimming along with a place to retreat that also gives shelter to juveniles. In the wild they are associated with anemones but they will readily adapt without one, and may even adopt a rock structure or other invertebrate as a substitute host.

  The Allard's Clownfish is also commonly known as the Twobar Anemonefish. These Anemone fish are one of the clown fish species in the Clarkii Complex. They are similar in overall appearance to the Clark's Clownfish Amphiprion clarkii, but lack the distinct white break between the body color and the tail fin that can be seen on the Clark's Clown. They are also just about as robust though they are not always as readily available.
Habitat: Natural geographic location:
  The Allard's Clownfish Amphiprion allardi, also known as the Twobar Anemonefish, was first described by Klausewitz in 1970. They are found on the east coast of Africa between Kenya and Durban. They inhabit outer reefs and lagoons and are usually found at depths between 10 - 82 feet (3 - 25 meters).

Status:
  These fish are not listed on the IUCN Red List.

Description:
  The Allard's Clownfish is very similar to the Clark's Clownfish. As an adult it can range in color from yellow to nearly black with yellow fins, and never showing any black coloring in either the pelvic or anal fins. They have two bold vertical white stripes across the body. The stripes are wide at the top, becoming narrower and pointed at the bottom. Just like in the Clark's Clown, the frontal stripe is broad, but the mid-body stripe differs, it is narrower.
  Another clownfish that is also very similar to the Allard's Clownfish is the Orangefin Anemonefish Amphiprion chrysopterus. This fish is also called the Blue-stripe Clownfish because its white stripes can sometimes have a blue cast to them. If it is lacking the bluish color in its stripes, then it can best be distinguished from the Allard's by the form of its stripes. The Orangefin's stripes are not wide at the very top like the Clark's, but rather widen part way down, and they point forward on the bottom.

Length/Diameter of fish:
  Allard's Clownfish adults can grow to 12 cm ( 4.7 inches)

Maintenance difficulty:
  The Allard's Clownfish is generally easy to keep and can be recommended for beginners. No special care is needed to feed this fish as it will take a variety of foods. It does need some crevices to retreat into, and also lots of open space to swim freely. It can be bred and the fry raised in captivity.
  Amphiprion members are very hardy. They are quite resistant to most infectious diseases and seldom suffer from infections. They can be safely treated with medicine or copper drugs if infected.
  In the wild a cleaner wrasse (Labroides sp.) will help them by taking parasites from their bodies, however these wrasses are extremely difficult to sustain in captivity. Alternative fish such as Neon Gobies (Gobiosoma spp.) can help them by providing this cleaning service in the home aquarium.
  For more information see Fish diseases.

Foods:
  The Allard's Clownfish are omnivores, In the wild the Amphiprion members eat plankton, and will also pick at the dead tentacles of their host anemone. In the aquarium no special food is necessary. This fish will readily accept a wide variety of foods; including live foods, frozen and flake foods, algae, meaty foods, shrimps, and may feed on tablets. Finely chopped meaty foods (like brine shrimp) can be fed regularly. Feed at least twice a day, whatever they will consume in about 3 minutes. It does not generally harm live corals or small inverts, but large adults may attack ornamental shrimps.

Maintenance:
  Clownfish can be kept in either a saltwater aquarium or a mini reef. In the wild they are associated with anemones, but they don't need an anemone host in the aquarium. They will readily adapt to a salt water tank without one. Often they will use a coral or other invertebrate, or even a rock structure, as a substitute.
  In a reef setting you can provide a host anemone to provide a rich naturalistic environment for your clown fish. While other fish avoid the anemones stinging tentacles least they become its food, your clown fish will spend most of its time nestled down in it. Though sea anemones are a striking addition to any reef aquarium, they are more challenging to keep. If you decide to keep an anemone you must make sure its special needs are met.
  The relationship a clown fish and a sea anemone have is known as symbiosis. Clown fish stay with certain anemones in the wild. In these symbiotic relationships, clown fish and sea anemones live together, each benefiting from the others company. Immune to the sting of the anemone's tentacles, the clown fish is protected from predatory fish and gets to snack on the remnants of any meal the anemone has captured. In return the clownfish will defend its host by tenaciously chasing off any intruders. It will also feed the host anemone and clean it, removing pieces of detritus picked up from the substrate.
Host Anemones the Allard's Clownfish is associated with in the wild:

  * Bulb-tipped or Purple Base Anemone Entacmaea quadricolor
  * Beaded Sea Anemone Heteractus aurora
  * Merten's Sea Anemone Stichtodactyla mertensii


  For a saltwater tank a normal water change of 10% biweekly or 20% monthly is necessary. For more information on maintaining a saltwater aquarium see: Saltwater Aquarium Basics: Maintenance. A reef tank will require specialized filtration and lighting equipment. Regular water changes of 15% bi-weekly will help replace the trace elements that the fish and corals use up. Learn more about reef keeping see: Mini Reef Aquarium Basics.

Aquarium Parameters:
  This fish are very active and will swim to the surface to eat once it is accustom to its home. It needs open space for free swimming, but it also needs nooks and crannies to retreat into. It will appreciate a host anemone or an other invertebrate or rock structure to adopt as a substitute host. A saltwater aquarium well decorated with rocks/ corals will providing it with many places for retreat.
Minimum Tank Length/Size:
  A minimum 20 gallon (189 liters), or larger.
Light: Recommended light levels
  It has no special lighting requirements though if kept with a host, the anemone will need strong lighting.
Temperature:
  This species lives in tropical areas and their natural habitat is generally about 80° F (26.7° C). In an aquarium, water temperatures between 70 - 79° F (21 - 26° C) work best.
  Though optimum spawning occurs between 77 - 85° F ( 25 - 28° C), temperatures higher than 82° F (28° C) or below 66° F (19° C) would not be desirable for normal maintenance. Extremes above 90° F (32° C) or below 64° F (18° C) would be beyond their tolerance.
Water Movement: Weak, Moderate, Strong
  Water movement is not a significant factor, but it needs at least a slow circulation in the tank to feed.
Water Region: Top, Middle, Bottom
  They will spend the majority of their time with a host, but will also swim in all parts of the aquarium.

Social Behaviors:
  The Allard's Clownfish is moderately assertive. This fish will do well in a either a coral-rich tank or in a fish only tank. Like all anemone fish they can be territorial and aggressive, especially as they get older. They can get along together with a variety of fish that are assertive but not so aggressive, providing the aquarium is large enough to provide them with a place of their own to defend.
  Clown fish can be kept together with small or non-aggressive fish species. Larger butterflyfishes, angelfishes, wrasses, and non-aggressive damselfishes of some genera (not those of the same genus) would also be okay. The very territorial fishes such as dottybacks or sea basses that will eat anything should be avoided. You can introduce one or more young specimens of this anemonefish in the same tank if there are host anemones. This clown fish is associated with the anemone species Entacmaea quadricolor, Heteractus aurora, and Stichtodactyla mertensii and they are generally available.

Sex: Sexual differences:
  The female is usually much larger than the male.

Breeding/Reproduction:
  Allard's Clownfish have been bred in captivity. See general breeding techniques in the Breeding Marine Fish page.

Who is the smallest fish in the world?


Last week on our show we heard a story about the world's smallest fish, which measured a minuscule 7.9 millimetres long. We spoke to the man who discovered said fish, Dr. Ralf Britz at the Natural History Museum in London, England. But it seems Dr. Britz's tiny fish can't hold the tiniest title for long. Professor Ted Pietsch at the University of Washington says he discovered the world's smallest fish last year - and his fish is a mere 6.2mm long. We reached Ted Pietsch in Seattle.

Fish and amphibians

Fish and amphibians appear in the earth suddenly and without any ancestors. Evolusionis can not explain the origins of the two groups of creatures living this.

Evolusionis that the marine invertebrate species found in the layer Kambrium evolved into fish in the tens of million years. However, not found one chain that shows the evolution of the transition had occurred between invertebrates and fish species of this. Invertebrates, or animals not vertebrate, has a strong network outside the body and they do not have in order. Conversely, the fish have bones, namely, the network hardware in their bodies. Thus, the evolution of invertebrates into fish is a very big change that should have left forms the chain that connects the two groups of animals this.

Evolusionis has excavate fossil Layers for more than 140 years to find forms that are suspected to exist. They have found millions and millions of fossil invertebrates fossil fish; but no one ever found a form of middle between them.

Facing the facts, experts evolusionis paleontology, Gerald T. Told, to a number of questions:

Third subdivisional bony fish first appeared in the fossil record at approximately the same time .... How do they come? What causes them is very different ... And why no trace forms of transition before? 26


A fossil 280 million years of age who come from the frog species that have become extinct. This discovery revealed that the frogs appear suddenly in the earth without any predecessor.


Scenario also said that the evolution of fish, which evolved from the invertebrates, later changing themselves into amphibian that can live in the land. (Amfibi are animals that can live on land and in water, such as frogs). But, as there is in your mind, this scenario does not have any evidence. No one fossil also shows that half-fish creatures, half amphibian ever. Although reluctant, is justified by the fact evolusionis leading figures, Robert L. Carrol, author books Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution: "We do not have a mid-shaped fossil between fish and amphibians riphidistian-amphibian early." 27

In short, fish and amphibians appear suddenly and both have a form as is now without any predecessor. In other words, God created them, each in a form that is perfect.

Clown Anemonefish


Anyone with kids and a DVD player probably thinks they know all there is to know about the clown anemonefish, or, simply, clownfish. What they may not know is that the heroes of Finding Nemo are actually called false anemonefish. True anemonefish, Amphiprion percula, are nearly identical, but have subtle differences in shape and live in different habitats.

Bright orange with three distinctive white bars, clown anemonefish are among the most recognizable of all reef-dwellers. They reach about 4.3 inches (11 centimeters) in length, and are named for the multicolored sea anemone in which they make their homes.

Clownfish perform an elaborate dance with an anemone before taking up residence, gently touching its tentacles with different parts of their bodies until they are acclimated to their host. A layer of mucus on the clownfish's skin makes it immune to the fish-eating anemone's lethal sting. In exchange for safety from predators and food scraps, the clownfish drives off intruders and preens its host, removing parasites.

There are 28 known species of anemonefish, most of which live in the shallow waters of the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and the western Pacific. They are not found in the Caribbean, Mediterranean or Atlantic Ocean.

Surprisingly, all clownfish are born male. They have the ability to switch their sex, but will do so only to become the dominant female of a group. The change is irreversible.

The shark bone


The shark bone cancer and Rematch
Jessie Arbogast, toddlers, aged 8 years old, never think liburannya changed into hell. When mid-July last year, he played in the coastal water that was knee-deep in the Gulf Islands National Beach in Florida suddenly attacked by shark along the 2.1 meters. The arm from shoulder to the elbow are, as well as meat on the thigh.





Imagine shark, the Shark, which is to be ferocious creature spiked sharply, eager memangsa other animals, even humans. However, when estimates of escape from behind the shadows that saved frightening for the benefit of human life.

Unless delectable eaten siripnya that (even in China as the "compulsory comestible" the palace since the Ching Dynasty), bone rawannya that the cure of various diseases. Sharks, including vertebrate, but in fact consists entirely of cartilage (cartilage), in other words, sharks do not have a bone in his body.

In shark cartilage contained protein, calcium, phosphorus, carbohydrate, water, fiber, fat and other components as the natural nutrition. Conversely, the cartilage is not found elements of heavy metal, not the kind of music, but the flow of elements such as zinc, copper, merkury, nickel and the like which tend dangerous for humans.

Viewing content similar substances, experts conclusion, shark cartilage is not toxic and has no side effects, to be consumed safely. Management Agency United States Food and Drugs (FDA), since 1993, issued a special permit for the use of shark cartilage as a treatment alternative support.

Based on the clinical research, stated shark cartilage are able to maintain growth and spread of tumor cells, helps reduce pain and bone pain, rheumatism help avoid disease, maintain and strengthen the function of bones, to help remove the feeling stiff and rheumatism, and health care facilities and the body avoid aberration that crooked spine.

Research shark cartilage in the joints and diseases by rheumatism bone surgeon Dr. John Pruden from Harvard. Research shows the initial 25 patients from 28 patients suffering from severe rheumatism artristis accompanied by the movement disfunction after states cartilage during the 3-8 week showed the results were quite good. This is because shark cartilage contains protein, collagen protein to replace the damaged joint disease in rheumatism.

Shark cartilage has long been known also as a healthy food by the Chinese community in the form of porridge eaten the freshness of the body and lead to more activity. Dr. Lane Phd, a nutrition expert from the sea Cornell University that the United States to develop and carry out research on shark cartilage, get a lot of progress in the clinical results when people with rheumatism (interference in the joints) or cancer consuming shark cartilage.

Finally obtained hypothesis and the anti-inflamsi anti Angio Genesis is a major factor cartilage shark, which can cause food is used for bone disease and cancer. As is known, in the case of major diseases (management bones, porous bones, nerves and rheumatism acid artritis) complaint that is most often pain and swelling (inflammation). Pain and swelling occurs because the release of harmful chemical called IL-1 (interlekin one) and TNF (tumor Necrosing Factor), after receiving injury, wound, micro and continuously.

So, after knowing the origins of disease to the conservation principle that the optimal required a good knowledge about the anatomical joints, the risk factors that aggravate the membrane joint treatment and coating the joint cartilage. As a creature of social mobility that we need good, then surely there are large or small wound on the principle that continuously, especially when sporting activities will increase.

Given the nature of the coating joint cartilage does not get a lot of food consumption from the blood because it is not dialiri by blood vessels, therefore required the consumption of food fish such as shark cartilage, which is now many are packed in food consumption, "ready to use." You are not trying.

Quote of the day
