This is why I spat.
Anyone else spend their childhood weekends in unfamiliar cemeteries learning all about the lost art of grave rubbings? I spent my fantastic youth being dangled from the family tree. If I said that my family loved genealogy it would a huge understatement. We lived genealogy. Every single one of our pets is given a full name taken from the pages of a cherished ancient family bible (including the many tropical fish that lived and died in our home).
Keeping the peace between your Cichlids
Have you noticed that your African Cichlids are acting aggressive towards the other fish in your aquarium? Unfortunately most species of Cichlids are naturally aggressive. They can be quick to claim their own territory in the aquarium, and will not cease in chasing other fish, often driving them to exhaustion. You may have noticed that some tropical fish in the aquarium are hiding in the top part of the tank, and might even be swimming sideways. Unfortunately this indicates that the fish has b

“It’s hard to imagine a worse, more socially corrosive campaign. Telling people to rummage in one another’s trash and report on anything they don’t understand is a recipe for flooding the police with bad reports from ignorant people who end up bringing down anti-terror cops on their neighbors who keep tropical fish, paint in oils, are amateur chemists, or who just do something outside of the narrow experience of the least adventurous person on their street. Essentially, this redefines “suspiciou

Big Ol’ Orb O’ Death
Owning fish is supposed to be calming, relaxing and zen-like. At least that’s what I keep telling myself while my tropical fish community seems to have other plans. Yes, here I am again in yet another death cycle. It starts simply enough - I buy some new fish. Some die off within the first few days (despite very careful acclimatisation) and then the aquarium somehow spirals out of balance precipitating more deaths in the older community. This time, introducing six neon tetra into the ta
