F.A.Q

How long is a livebearer pregnant for?
Most livebearer females are pregnant for about 20 - 40 days. Their gravel spot will be very black before the babies are free.

What is the best type of filter for a beginner?
I would probably have to say an outside filter for this one. It is a faster cleaner than the undergravel filter, but is much more expensive.

Are plants necessary in an aquarium?
Plants are not vital in an aquarium but are a help. They oxygenate the water so the fish have oxygen to breathe. They also look neat at the back of an aquarium with all of the colourful fish in front of the plants.

How much light do plants require?
This varies. It will depend on the intensity of light, the depth of the water, the distance the light is from the water surface and the amount of daylight the tank gets. If the tank doesnt get much light then it is a good idea to have a little artificial light on the tank. If the tank is in an area where it recieves alot of light and you have algae problems it is a good idea to move it or stop so much light from coming. (put up curtains)

What is the best food for Angelfish fry?
In my opinion the best food source is either micro worms or brine shrimp. Other breeders say that brine shrimp is very nutritious but I find them harder to get and hatch. There is a cycle that you must use to hatch these brine shrimp from their eggs and it is quite difficult for the beginner. I would suggest micro worms and when the baby Angels are a little bigger try feeding them on daphnia, mosquito larvae and cyclops aswell. When my baby Angelfish where only a couple of days old I tried to feed them baby daphnia but i found that they were not eating the daphnia so I waited till they got a little larger.

My fish isn't eating. What happened?
Try putting live foods in the tank as the fish find these more tastier and are much better quality for them. Most Cichlids will eat the cut up earth worms, and basically all fish will eat mosquito larvae, daphnia and cyclops.

Im going on vacation. Is there any good public aquariums in XX?
There are a lot of good public aquariums around the world. I recommend you visit this online guide that features public aquariums around the world.
