If you want to create a show fish tank and are undecided as to which species of fish to include in it, just take a look at some discus fish photos and I assure you, the type fish to show off will no longer be a concern. You can find an abundance of photos online real easy by just doing a simple search for the type of photos of interest. You'll see an assortment of species, various sizes and color. Not all, but a great number of photos online are for commercial advertisement purposes. As promotional tools, professional breeders, use these photos to develop their business, which works well for them, after all this is how they make a living. But you can find quite a few other sites were breeders or people who just share the same hobby.

Now that we have settled the choice difficulty issue, looking at these fish photos can be useful in other ways, for instance. Owners may notice some irregularities going on with their fish. They seem to look unhealthy or have developed some kind of bodily changes. A comparison of the photos to your fish may help you to pinpoint any abnormalities that may be affecting your pets. For instance certain white spots on the body of the fish, a common parasite that can be easily identified using discus fish images. Just think, what a cost saving asset for you these photos could be, especially with the high cost of veterinarians' services and a life saving one for your pet.

Quality is always important, especially when choosing a good reference book or guide. Scientific data description manuals or guides without relevant discus fish photos to compare would not be the first choice to buy as it only seems to keep you in the realm of the abstract. Furthermore, it is not uncommon to find large private collections or exhibitions of discus fish. Discus fish are quite unique in being among the wide life creatures that can live happily in captivity.

As mentioned earlier, fans of discus fish can quickly and easily upload or download free photos from various web pages and forums. Equally available to buy are entire galleries devoted to these magnificent creatures. Many professionally done discus fish photos, which I hear, is quite a lucrative business, may even be sold to special wild life magazines. However, taking discus fish photos in the wild is another subject in itself.

Want to Keep a Beautiful Fish in Your Tank? Try the Dottyback

Bicolor Pseudochromis (Pseudochromis paccagnellae), also known as the Bicolor Dottyback or Royal Dottyback, this fish is loved for its vibrant colors of purple (front) and yellow (back). It is also one of the hardiest fish to keep in your salt-water tank, and requires very little care once established.

To create a perfect biotope for this fish, you may need to give it a lot of grazing room as well as several spots to hide in. It may take in miniatures as hiding places, but crevices in rocks are much more suitable for it resembles more of its natural habitat. It is about 2-3 inches in length, and prefers high lighting conditions. Your tank should be kept about 75-78 degrees with a pH of 8.1-8.4 (alkaline). It loves to swim so your tank should have a minimum size of 30 gallons. Corrals and plants can also be added in your biotope to provide places for your fish to lay its eggs along with your rock formation.

The Bicolor Pseudochromis has a semi-aggressive temperament, and can be highly territorial. It will not tolerate meek, mild-mannered, slow-moving fish in the tank. It is a bottom-dweller, and targets most of the shrimp in your tank (anemone shrimp. If you love your shrimp, you may want to reconsider if you are considering on adding this in your tank.

The color of your Bicolor Pseudochromis will fade in captivity because of lack of food variety. Give them a selection of food to promote their colors such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, seafood, or other frozen preparations designed to care for marine fish. This fish is relatively cheap. It is advised that the fish be quarantined for 2 weeks before being added to the tank.

How to maintain a Koi Fish

Oxygen is vital to all living organisms living in your pond. Seems simple enough to understand that fish need air yet, what if the oxygen level is too low? What increases oxygen concentration? Why is more better and what are the benefits? How can we test the oxygen level or content? How can we get oxygen towards the bottom of a deep pond? The following should help.
Low oxygen concentrations can cause fish to be increasingly susceptible to disease and even die suddenly. The sad part is the large fish die first when the oxygen level is too low. Oxygen concentration decreases when; temperature increases especially above 80 �F, over stocking, heavy amounts of decaying matter exist in the pond or with either poor or no circulation of pond water.

Moving water helps mix air into the water and provides a means of natural gas exchange into the atmosphere. A stream, waterfall and jets can perform this very well. By moving the water surface of a pond with pond jets, the atmosphere and water contacting each other repeatedly will increase the oxygen content of the water. Some choose to add an air pump and air stone to increase oxygen concentration. The mixing takes place at the surface as the bubbles burst and with the movement of the surface water moving away from the rising air and water column.

Colder water contains more oxygen than warm water. Some choose to turn off water features during winter months. This does two things. It saves on electricity and slows down the cooling of the pond. Some refer to this as "Turbo Cooling". The disadvantage to turning off the pump during winter's coldest months is that the biological filter will be slow in starting up again as temperatures begin to rise.

By increasing the "oxygen" levels in the pond water, it will promote an overall healthier pond. One important area that higher levels of oxygen saturation help is in better promotion of good biological bacteria known as aerobic bacteria. Aerobic bacteria are the good bacteria in our pond that like oxygen. They grow and eat dead decaying plants, algae and pond muck up to 30 times faster than anaerobic bacteria (an-aerobic). Anaerobic bacteria live and grow in the absence of oxygen. Maintaining a constant supply of oxygen greatly improves the ability for the aerobic bacteria to thrive and keep your pond bottom cleaner, the water clearer and fish healthier.

There is a point of oxygen saturation. To find your level of dissolved oxygen or oxygen concentration, you could use a test kit. Or even better are the electronic type testers called "Dissolved Oxygen Meter". The meters are not cheap and start around $150 and up. While an O2 test kit can cost around $12. The advantage to the Dissolved Oxygen meters is that the probe can be lowered to test the oxygen level at different levels for those with deeper ponds.

Ponds that are designed with bottom drains permit better oxygen disbursement towards the bottom because water usually enters the pond's top surface and is drawn out from the bottom drain. This method recirculates the pond's total water column better than those that do not draw the water from the bottom. More oxygen content close to the bottom promotes the good bacteria which consumes waste that settles on the bottom. Ponds that are in the colder climates like the United Kingdom, sometimes will draw the water from the mid-pond level permitting the bottom half of the pond water to remain warmer for the fish.

Note: Decaying plants in a very low oxygen level pond can create a toxic dissolved gas known as Hydrogen Sulfide.

So as we can see there are many benefits and life supporting reasons to having adequate oxygen concentration. So, when is comes to oxygen in your pond, more is better!!
