The New Guide to Aquarium Fish 0

Two species of cichlid are found almost exclusively in brackish water: Etroplus suratensis (Green chromide, 45 cm (18 in)) and Etroplus maculatus (Orange chromide, 10 cm (4 in)). Both occur in coastal regions of southern India and Sri Lanka, chiefly in brackish estuaries and lagoons.

Now for something a lot smaller. Brachygobius (Bumblebee gobies) are suitable for those of you who cannot keep a large brackish water aquarium, because they will be quite happy in a 60 x 30 x 30 cm (24 x 12 x 12 in) tank.

Retail outlets tend to stock only a few brackish water fishes because people usually want either marines because of their flamboyant colours or freshwater as they are easiest.

This last group has been dealt with in the Cyprinodonts chapter.

Fish are susceptible to a wide range of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic diseases. The artificial conditions in the aquarium tend to concentrate the risk of disease and increase the speed at which illnesses spread, because fish health is strongly influenced by the quality of the environment. Early intervention can head off many of the most common conditions, but, as with humans, prevention is always better than cure.

[Ebook] Encyclopedia of Aquarium & Pond Fish – Introduction to Freshwater Fish – Breeding – Reproductive behavior

Encyclopedia of Aquarium & Pond Fish 0

Fish can be divided into two broad categories on the basis of their breeding behavior. Egg-layers, which form the majority, practice external fertilization, while in livebearers the eggs are fertilized in the female’s body and emerge as fully formed young. Some species show little regard for their offspring and cannibalize their own eggs or fry. Others display surprisingly high levels of parental care.

Now to one of the more spectacular members of this family, the sailfin molly. There are three species of sailfin molly of which two are common in the hobby, Poecilia latipinna and Poecilia veli-fera.
