Angel fish

Angel Fish Pterophyllum altum (back) & scalare (front)

After keeping and breeding Angel fish for a couple of years I decided to replace them for a group of discus fish, that was about 10 years ago. At that time the beautiful Altum Angel fish ( Pterophyllum altum ) was widely available and also the ‘natural’ colored Scalare Angel fish ( Pterophyllum scalare ). After setting up a new south American community tank a group of Altum angel fish was number one on my wish list, so I started looking around for a group of semi adult Altum’s.

Shelldweller from Lake Tanganyika

There are several species of shelldwellers in lake Tanganyika, but this one is definitely my favorite, Lamprologus ocellatus. Shelldwellers are maybe not the most colorful fish form the lake but they make up for this lack of color trough their really interesting behavior. The Lamprologus ocellatus is a small fish of about 4 to 6 centimeters ( about 2 inches ) but they can easily be kept in community tanks with much larger fish, I keep them in my community Tanganyika tank with nearly adult Frontosa’s without a problem. If a big Frontosa comes to close they will attack it, most of the time the couple will atack together, and if the Frontosa comes to close they just return to their safe shell’s to hide.

Flowerhorn Cichlids

Flowerhorn cichlids is a hybrid cichlid that was developed in Malaysia during the second half of the 1990: s. It was created by crossbreeding different South American cichlids. Exactly which cichlids that were used to create the Flowerhorn is a well kept secret only known by the breeders who developed the species but they did most likely crossbreed Trimacs (Amhilophous Trimaculatus) and one or several other South American cichlids like Cichlasoma Festae, Amphilophus citrinellum (midas cichlid), Amphilophus labiatum (red devil) or Vieja synspila (redheaded cichlid).

Aquarium lighting

Aquarium lighting in one of the key aspects in both the reef aquarium and the freshwater aquarium. It gives the animals a natural activity and rest period and it makes the plants, corals grow. Invertebrates and corals need it to survive because they have the same photosynthesis process as plants. Aquarium Lightning is not only functional, there are also colored tubes and metal halide lights that makes the colors of the fish more intense.
