Velvet Coral Fish (Premnas Biaculeatus)

December 20, 2010 by

The body colour of velvet coral fish is a rich brown marked with 3 yellow bands, the edges of which are tinged green.

One of these bands is positioned across the centre of the body, an additional across the head, and also the third across the tail root.

The fins are all brown, or brownish, and edged with black.

Seahorse (Hippocampus Species)

December 20, 2010 by

The seahorse isn’t a particularly attractive fish for aquarium; in reality it is rather a grotesque creature with its long horse-like face and curled prehensile tail. Nevertheless, it is interesting if only for its unusual breeding habits.

During late spring, or early summer, the female deposits about a hundred eggs in a pouch situated on the belly of the male. They’re then incubated for a period of about 40-50 days. The young then appear as totally free swimming individuals, still with remnants of the yolk sac.

Raising the youngsters is a real issue. They’re slow moving small creatures that need live foods. Brine shrimps are greatest, but they may also be fed with small daphnia.

Seahorses vary in size depending upon species. The largest ones attain a length of about 12 inches. They propel themselves by the dorsal fin, but like to anchor themselves to something with their pre-hensile tails, as a result it is essential to offer branching coral, or some well weathered branches of trees for this purpose.

White Spotted Fish (Dascyllus Trimaculatus)

December 20, 2010 by

White spotted fish has a black body and three brilliant white, enamel like spots; one on the forehead, and one every side of the body just below the dorsal fin. The average size for adult fish is 2 inches long.

Its habits are similar to D. aruanus and it is advisable to limit the community to only one of these species, otherwise they’ll fight continually among themselves.

Black And White Damsel Fish (Dascyllus Aruanus)

December 20, 2010 by

The black and white damsel fish is another fish that has striking colour. The fundamental body colour is brilliant pearl white, with 3 vertical black bands; one via the eye, a second down the mid-body, and also the third near the tail. The average size for adult fish is 2 inches.

These fish are lively small fellows, but quarrel with their own species. It is advisable, as a result, to have only one specimen in the community tank.

Blue Devil Fish (Pomacentrus Fuscus)

December 20, 2010 by

The blue devil fish is a sprightly, energetic fish that attains a length of about 4.5 inches. Its body colour is mainly dark grey to purple with rows of brilliant sapphire blue scales running along the body, and there are sprinkled high-lights of the exact same colour on the head. The tail and tips of the unpaired fins are yellow.

These fishes are greatest kept singularly, but if other fish are included great refuges should be supplied.

Clownfish (Amphiprion Percula)

December 20, 2010 by

The clownfish has a lot to suggest it as a fish for the beginner. It is reasonably simple to obtain, it is not too big; about 2 inches long. It is very colourful, and most essential it is hardy.

Clownfish are brilliantly and dramatically coloured a rich yellow, with 3 irregular white stripes; one near the eye, the second from the dorsal fin to the under-belly, and also the third on the root of the tail. The design is further enhanced by thin, jet black lines edging the white stripes, and with black edgings to the yellow-brown fins.

In their natural habitat among the coral reefs they’re very territorially minded-having selected a particular crevice they’ll guard it against intruders. In the aquarium they’re lively and busy, but they’re harmless.

Clown fish are partial to young guppies, brine shrimps, and also very fine pieces of raw fish. They’ve not yet been bred in an aquarium.

Other varieties suitable for marine aquaria include A. ephiprion along with a. sebae.
