Fluval Plant Stratum, 8.8-Pound Overview
Fluval Plant Stratum is the ideal substrate for planted aquariums featuring a light non-compacting porous structure. Its ideal properties as an aquarium substrate are highly beneficial to nitrifying bacteria which rapidly colonize the vast porous surface, providing optimal water quality for fish. Plant roots easily penetrate and spread within the Fluval Plant Stratum allowing plants to flourish and obtain a variety of key nutrients. The inherent properties of Fluval Plant Stratum will help support a neutral to slightly acidic pH, ideal for most plant species and species of tropical fish normally kept in planted aquariums. This highly attractive substrate does not discolor water, and helps control organic discoloration usually present when natural driftwood is used. For aquariums less than 18 inches, use one 4.4-pound bag of Stratum; 18-inch aquariums require one 8.8-pound bag of Stratum; 24-inch aquariums require two 8.8-pound bags and 35 inch aquariums require two 8.8-pound bags.

Southeast Asia Aquarium Video Clips. Duration : 4.70 Mins.
This is an aquarium with a Southeast Asia theme. The volume is 29 gallons (about 110 liters), and the size is 30 1/4" x 12 1/2" x 18 3/4" (about 77cm by 32cm by 48cm). The plants are java moss (_Taxiphyllum barbieri_, aka _Vesicularia dubyana_), java fern (_Microsorum pteropus_), and water wisteria (_Hygrophila difformis_). The fishes are siamese algae eaters (_Crossocheilus siamensis_), Burmese border loaches (_Botia kubotai_), and dwarf puffers (_Carinotetraodon travancoricus_, aka _Tetraodon travancoricus_). The tank is teeming with mixed cherry shrimp (_Neocaridina heteropoda_), which vary in color from bright red to transparent with dark speckles. The cherry shrimp breed frequently and grow quickly in this tank. There are also four Amano shrimp (_Caridina multidentata_, aka _Caridina japonica_) in there. It's difficult to see most of the shrimp, but they are very numerous. There were once many hundreds of Malaysian Trumpet Snails (_Melanoides tuberculata_) in this tank, but the loaches have eaten most of them. Some hobbyists warn that dwarf puffers may injure, kill and eat shrimp. I introduced the puffers a few months ago, when the tank was already well-planted, and the shrimp population was high. The shrimp are still doing very well. It's possible that the shrimp are breeding faster than the puffers can eat them, or that the puffers get enough food that it is unnecessary for them to hunt shrimp. In this clip, I'm feeding the tank some frozen mosquito larvae, which ...

o American Box turtles feed on anyone it gets.
o Meat forms the principle diet of the Chinese 3-Striped Box turtles.
o The Red-Eared Slider turtles end up being omnivores on maturity after beginning off eating bugs and worms when they are young.
o Snapping turtles look for small creatures to eat, while most other turtles naturally eat plants.
o Most turtles eat shellfish, insects, water plants or fish.
o To ward off predators, turtles often eat poisonous plants like poisonous rhubarb, ivy and avocado found near their habitat.
o Pond turtles in the Us eat from a wide list consisting of insects, arthropods, small shellfish, snails, worms and small fish.
o Poisonous plants should not be in a pet turtle's diet as the owner may not know which plants they were acclimatized to in their natural surroundings.
o What pet turtles should eat is good and salutary food. If you bought the turtle from a pet store, they most likely also sell the food that the turtle eats.
o Aquatic turtles eat aquaticaquariumplants, small live fish, dried shrimp and floating turtle pellets found at the pet store.
o Land turtles eat extra pellets made for land turtles. While some eat worms, others eat fruits, vegetables, and meal worms.
o Processed foods with high contents of salt and preservatives run a risk of damaging the turtle's digestive system.
o Milk or dairy products can make them sick and should be totally avoided as their stomachs lack the enzyme for breaking down lactose.
o Turtles sometimes eat fruits such as bananas, grapes, mangoes, blueberries, apples, strawberries and other citrus fruits.
o Turtles can also eat chicken, turkey, cooked fish in small quantities, mealworms, boiled eggs, earthworms, silkworms, shrimps, snails and crickets. Raw meat with too much fat can get contaminated and
should be avoided.
o Domestic turtles eat leafy vegetables like carrot tops, fig leaves, red and green lettuce, corn, green bean and peas, beets, squash, okra and plantain weed.
o Turtles also love to eat flowers like roses, pansies, petunias, borage, geraniums, carnations, hyssop and nasturtium.
o Phosphorus goes with the kind of food adored by the turtle, but you should take precautions and watch out for the calcium intake and minerals like vitamin D3 in the turtle's diet as they have a direct bearing on its health. Vitamin D3 can be given as a dietary supplement if your turtle is lacking the vitamin. Exposure to sunlight or reptile light also helps in producing it in the turtle's body.

Keeping an aquarium is an old-time favorite hobby among a great amount of fish enthusiasts. Aside from the charm it brings to a dull or boring room, taking care of aquaticplants and fishes are also a great way of relieving stress. However, beginners for this kind of pastime have to be guided in setting up and maintaining a tank. An aquarium has to be thought about designed to meet the definite needs of the living organisms inside.
One of the most prominent elements in a fish tank is the lighting. More than just adding to the unabridged aesthetics of the aquarium, the light also provides heat for the fishes and helps in the allowable photosynthesis of the plants inside. Incandescent light, which is coarse around the house, may be used in lighting your aquarium. Lamps, commonplace light bulbs and spotlights give off adequate heat and light to small aquariums. The only disadvantage of using incandescent light is that it gives off more heat than the light it produces prominent to climatic characteristic problems. If you're planning to get a medium-sized or a large tank with live plants, it would be good if you buy fluorescent lights or tube lights made especially for freshwater tanks.
Aquatic Plants For Aquariums
Fluorescent lighting is the most favorite option among hobbyists these days. Aside from the fact that these come in dissimilar sizes, these also come in assorted wattages and are the simplest to setup and use on aquariums. You have the option to customize your fish tank the way you wish.

If you are planning to set up a reef tank then you could probably use a metal halide. This gives off more light great for dark areas of the tank like the reef itself. Though it gets hotter than incandescent lights, the heat to light ratio is still better. Other option is the use of high output and very high output fluorescents. As the name suggests, these give off more light than commonplace fluorescents, great for tall or oddly shaped tanks.
So how do you rule which among these would be approved for you fish tank? Simple. Supervene our uncomplicated guidelines and you'll be picking your fish tank light off the shelf in no time.
Decide on what fishes and plants to put in your fish tank. Fishes survive even in low light but if you're planting your tank, you have to make sure you have the allowable lighting in order for these to grow and thrive. Lighting greatly affects a plant's chances of surviving in fish tanks.
Be aware of your options. How would you rule if you don't even know what you're supposed to pick from?
Consider the size and shape of your tank. If you're new to the hobby, it is ideal to start with a small tank under 20 gallons. It would be okay to start with synthetic plants and use approved fluorescent lighting since it's the least costly and the easiest to set up and maintain.
Before setting up your fish tank it's best to do your homework and find out as much as you can about anyone and all things about setting up uncomplicated aquariums. As you go along, you're sure to witness more things and learn how to heighten the unabridged appeal and functionality of your aquarium. It is prominent to always consider the living conditions of the organisms inside before installing anyone on your tank. Make sure that all things harmonizes well and provides a good environment for both plants and fishes. On top of the charm and aesthetics of your fish tank, it is prominent to keep in mind the welfare of the fishes and aquaticplants. Enjoy!

Duckweed is a tiny floating aquaticplant with many uses in the Pond Industry. Duckweed is extremely fast growing, and can double its habitancy in just a few days under ideal circumstances. Duckweed is used as nutrient operate in larger aquaculture applications. The fast growing plant utilizes excess nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, thereby creating a healthier environment for the livestock. They are also a high protein plant, and make an exquisite supplemental diet for aquacultures species such as Tilapia and Grass Carp. Duckweed also has a place in the Aquarium industry. They supply security for timid species, and even supply a breeding medium for some species. For all these benefits, this small plant species can also fast become a nuisance to pond owners. It can overtake a small pond in a matter of weeks, or sometimes, days. Duckweed blooms can deplete the pond of oxygen, resulting in stressful conditions for the livestock. Although propagating can be fairly easy, eradicating a habitancy can be quite difficult.
There are three basic discharge methods; Mechanical, Chemical, and Biological. Although each has its advantages and disadvantages, the style of each pond will dictate the permissible formula to be utilized. The most tasteless coming is Mechanical removal. The most tasteless coming is to simply net the excess plant from the pond. While this may be efficient in smaller ponds, it is often tedious or impossible in larger bodies of water. Surface skimming can be a very efficient way to take off excess plants. This involves construction a face skimmer as the intake for the filtration system. The duckweed will flow into the skimmer, preventing an epidemic. The tasteless downside is the duckweed will consistently clog the skimmer. If cleaned regularly, face skimmers are very efficient in small to medium sized ponds.
Aquatic Plants For Aquariums
Chemical discharge can be very effective, but can also contribute to supplementary issues. Herbicides used to operate live plants can be very detrimental to a living ecosystem, and should be used very sparingly in any natural living environment. In addition to controlling duckweed, these chemicals can also damage more desirable attractive plants, and will badly damage the biological filtration system. This can lead to nuisance algae or even livestock death.

Biological operate can be the safest and easiest to deploy. Grass Carp and Tilapia are two favorite choices for duckweed control. Tilapia in single are often cultured with duckweed as a food source. While these fish may suffice for long-term control, other measures may have to be tried in addition to this. Natural operate is often too slow to operate overgrown populations, but may very well be able to vocalize low levels once the duckweed is under control.
Small to medium ponds tend to fare very well with a blend of face skimming and biological control, while larger bodies of water may want a more involved approach. In the end, Duckweed, like all other pests should be controlled early. Once an epidemic habitancy is established, it can be very difficult, and very time consuming, to defeat.

Keeping the water in your fish tank clean is a priority for any Aquarist. Despite water looking clean it may not be safe for fish to live in and can ultimately kill them. Thus water should be tested and replaced on a regular basis. You may consideration at times that the water becomes unusually cloudy. This may cause you some concern that your fish may be in danger and that you can't see what's going on in the fish tank. This report will scrutinize what causes cloudy fish tank water. Why and how it occurs and how to treat it.
The most common cause of cloudy water is what is known as bacterial bloom. Bacterial bloom is when there is an explosive growth in the numbers of bacteria in the fish tank. Bacterial colonies institute in response to nutrients in the water. These nutrients are often excess food, fish excrement or plant debris. The bacteria act as a filtration device in the tank to take off these waste products and make the water safe for fish to live in. When the bacterial growth occurs the water will appear cloudy or milky.
Aquatic Plants For Aquariums
Bacterial bloom can occur when the tank is new. It occurs when the tank is new because there is an imbalance in the level of nutrients in the water to the levels of bacteria. This may be because there are too many fish in the tank. As you go through starting up a new aquarium the level of nutrients to bacteria will stabilize and the cloudiness should dissipate.

If the water becomes cloudy in an established aquarium then it might be because the filtration process has broken down or that you are putting too much food into the tank.
To take off the cloudiness you can do a few things.
You can wait for the tank to come to be established.
You could add a bacteria starter that will help to process the waste.
You can do a partial water turn of 10-20% .
Bacterial bloom is commonly not harmful to the aquatic life in the tank so the cloudiness of the water is more detrimental to the viewing of the tank than anyone else. Having said this it is all the time a good idea to test the fish tank water usually (as part of a weekly water turn for example) for any pollutants so that you can take any restorative activity necessary.

Animals are not humans but they also have the right to live a life that best fit them. It is cruel to treat domesticated animals (and even wild animals) with violence. It is inhuman of us to purposely neglect our pets. More often than not, pets are treated with care by their owners. In some instances though, misinformation on the permissible way to care for a pet leads to neglect and cruelty. The bottom line is: cruel acts to animals happen because of lack of data on how to properly care for that singular breed of mammal, bird or fish.
Aquarium Mania
It seems like every home has a fish tank. Some do know how to properly care for their aquarium but most do not. There are a estimate of misconceptions about holding a fish tank. A lot of newbie fish enthusiasts think that holding an aquarium prosperous is easy. They think that all that needs to be done is buy a fish tank, fill it with water, sand, decorative plants, the mandatory ceramic figurine, a batch of gold fish and wallah! - an instant showcase for house and friends to ogle at. They are wrong.
Common Mistakes
Aquatic Plants For Aquariums
Mini-aquarium packages are available in most pet stores. What is sad about this plight is that the pet store owner should have the sense to know that fish in a small aquarium has lesser opening of prosperous and surviving. How so? A small aquarium has a smaller opening of replicating the natural bacteria and biological processes that is needed for the fish to flourish. A bigger aquarium is great for a newbie fish enthusiast granting that he allows the tank's water chemistry to stabilize before populating it with fish. Neutralizing the water with the right chemicals can help.

Another common mistake is adding too many fish at once. The fish hobbyist should only add a join of tough fish and see how they thrive in the aquarium. The bacteria colony in the aquarium should be well-established before adding more fish.
Over-populating the fish tank is another common mistake. An overstocked fish tank authentically looks nice but the fish in the tank are likely to be stressed and be overwhelmed. It is best to compute for the right estimate of fish-inch per gallon. Highly recommended ratio for the inch per gallon rule is 80% of the net water (amount of water added after sand and other decorations were added).For example, a fish tank with a net gallon of 20 multiplied by 80% yields to 16 inches of fish. This means you can have 16-1 inch fish in the tank or 8 -2 inch fish or 4- 4 inch fish or 2 - 8 inch fish in the tank.
What to Avoid
Other common mistakes that can be construed as unintentional cruelty are: overfeeding; holding incompatible fish together in one tank; insufficient filtration system; not testing and changing the water; improper lighting; not treating diseased fish; not acclimatizing the fish when transferring to the tank and more.
It is easy adequate to unknowingly perform cruel acts to the fish just as it is easy adequate to learn more about holding a fish tank before plunging into the hobby.
