Apistogramma Dwarf Cichlids
by Auke Veenstra
Abstract: The real apistogramma's
come from southern America, they all have the same characteristics,
like a complex breeding behavior, as their large relatives,
only their size is different. Besides the apistogramma
group there are also some relatively popular dwarf cichlids
from Africa, like the Pelvicachromis group. From this
group the most widespread cichlid is the Pelvicachromis
pulcher, also known as the Kribensis or Purple cichlid.
Feeding Your Pet Stingray - The
Essentials of Maintaining a Varied Diet
by Brendon Turner
Abstract: Stingrays will eat
a wide variety of foods. Maintaining a varied diet is
extremely important in captive animals, as monocultural
diets incur a risk of nutritional deficiencies. Stingrays
are very active, and should be fed at least once a day,
preferably twice or even three times daily. The daily
diet can be varied in order to create some environmental
enrichment as well as balanced nutrition for the rays.
Neon Tetras
by Linda Paquette
Abstract: Neon tetras are one
of the most popular community fish and an excellent choice
for those new to fish keeping. Their purchase size is
often under ¾ of an inch and at full size, they
reach a big 2 inches in length. If you like color in your
aquarium fish, the Neon tetra will add real sparkle and
flash to your aquarium. A silver fish that darkens to
iridescent blue along its backbone, the neon tetra also
sports a bright red tail. In addition, these active little
fish like to school in groups of 6 or more, so a tank
of neon tetras continually flashes with red, silver-white,
and blue! |
