Food:
New Life Spectrum "Community or Finicky Formula" and Zoo Plankton
found at Fish Foods
A peaceful omnivore that has
a greenish-brown body and yellow stripes running vertically along its
body. There is a dark, almost black 'spot' at the base of the tail.
The Chocolate Gourami is a delicate
fish that should be housed in at least a 20 gallon tank. It is prone to
bacteria and skin parasites, so good water quality is required. The Chocolate
Gourami prefers a well-established, thickly planted tank, with peat extract.
Frequent water changes are a must. They do best if kept in pairs
and are compatible with other shy, peaceful fish as tank mates.
The best way to differentiate
between the male and female is the yellow border that extends along
the edge of the male's anal and caudal fins. The Chocolate Gourami
is a mouth brooder that spawns infrequently. The male and female
will spawn on the bottom of the tank and the female collects the eggs
in her mouth. She will hold the eggs for 14 days during which time she
does not eat, therefore, it is important that the female be in her best
condition before breeding.

This
is yet another Dwarf Gourami that is an omnivore Labyrinth Fish like a Betta, so
it must have access to the surface of your aquarium to breathe.
This is also a bubble nest builder.
One of the best gouramis for a general
community aquarium, attractively colored, not growing too large, and
tolerant of a wide range of conditions and companions.
The male is by far the more brightly
coloured, but in breeding condition he often turns so dark that his normal
markings disappear.

The
Dwarf Honey-Red Gourami is an omnivore Labyrinth Fish like a Betta, so
it must have access to the surface of your aquarium to breathe.
We've had numerous requests to carry this fish due to the appealing small
dwarf size, and the shortage of females apparently not available to the
public. Both male and female of this species are similar in color
except the males become a more honey-red color and also have more prominent
striping during courting and spawning. We have found this species
to be very easy to care for, and not very demanding. They are a
very peaceful fish that seem to mind their own business and not too finicky
of an eater as well. During spawning the male will build a bubblenest
and may become territorial toward other fish. Males should be removed
from tank after spawning and females a couple days after hatching as they
will eat the frye. These fish prefer a heavily planted aquarium
An ideal addition to most community tanks with livebearers, Tetras, Danios,
Rasboras, Rainbowfish, Loaches, Barbs, plecos, and most scavengers.

If you want to keep or breed the
Snakeskin Gourami make sure you have a good sized aquarium. Not only does this
fish get quite large in captivity, up to 8" (20 cm), but its spawns are also
unusually large. There can be as many as 5,000 fry from a single spawning
period. These are hardy fish but even better than that they are an exceptionally
peaceful gourami, making them an excellent candidate for a community aquarium.
Though not necessarily the most beautiful gourami they do have a rather striking
appearance. Juveniles are especially notable, having strong zig-zag lines from
the eye to the base of the tail.
Some labyrinth fish have
voices!...and the Snakeskin Gourami is no exception. The fish has a kind of
vocalization that sounds like croaking, or growling, or cracking tones. This is
generally most pronounced during breeding or with territorial type behavior, but
whether it has any special function is unknown.

This
is another VERY small and very colorful Gourami in which both the sexes
are about equally colored with iridescent blues, reds, and greens with
blue and green spots. The typical way to tell the difference between
a male or female is to look for the female's ovaries with a bright light.
This is another very shy, and peaceful fish we offer that is easy to keep,
and breed. They come from the shallow waters of Cambodia so they
are ideal for small aquariums. They will thrive best in tanks that
are well-planted with rocks. This Gourami is an omnivore that is
known to nibble on algae. Remember how little this fish stays when
considering your purchase.

 Betta
Trichopsis pumilus or
Ctenops pumilus
a.k.a. Siamese Fighting Fish
Native to: Southeast
Asia, Southern Asia, Tropical Africa
Members of this
family -- denizens in the wild of oxygen-starved waters, can frequently
be seen gulping air at the surface; it is perfectly normal for them to
do this, as they possess an extra breathing organ (Labyrinth Organ) for
this very purpose.
The more colorful
varieties are predatory, so care should be taken in choosing companions
for them. The rest are comparatively peaceful, but can be noisy when breeding
or when out of the water. Males
will know when it is time to breed. He will build a bubblenest with
his mouth. Then the male and the female will stay near the bottom
of the bubblenest to spawn. The male wraps his body around the female
during courtship. The females eggs are released and then the male will
release his sperm. The male will then collect the eggs in his mouth and
gently wash them. He then proceeds to place the eggs into the bubble nest.
the male continues to take on the responsibility of guarding the
nest, and may even kill the female. Male fish can take on stronger coloration
at spawning time; frequently the male has extended anal and dorsal fins.
The Betta,
or Siamese fighting fish as it's better known, grows to 3" long and
comes in a variety of brilliant colors, our male bettas are more commonly
reds, and blues, or red/blue mixes. Sometimes greens, rarely white
or black. Males, identifiable by their collection of fancy fins,
just don't get on with each other at all, so keep only one male in your
tank.

AAG
BETTA HEX BOWFRONT AQUATIC GREENHOUSE® IS A FANTASTIC GIFT IDEA!!
Great places to put these mini hex's are:
-
In the office
-
In the kitchen
-
Next to your computer
Our Aquatic
Greenhouse is a complete, almost maintenance-free ecosystem. These
small mini aquariums are very affordable! These dwellings only require
the correct diet, clean water, and light.
Bettas
make good bowl fish because they can handle temperature fluctuations and
have the physiological capability to breathe air. In addition
to gills, bettas also have an organ called a labyrinth, which allows them
to also breath "our" air". They are quite simple
to care for, but they are living things and must not be neglected.
They must have clean water on a regular basis and be feed at least a few
times per week or they will starve. Alot of people think bettas
will feed off of the roots of the plants, but this is not true!
They need fat and protein! They get this from a wonderful
product from Hikari called Betta Bio-Gold, which we include with each
setup. This amount of food should last a minimum of 3 months.
Replacement food is available for 2.99
The
plant provides oxygen for the fish and the plant also absorbs the fishes
waste while the snail cleans the algae from the tank. The betta should
live at least one to three years, we have had some live longer.
A replacement betta can be purchased from local pet store for as little
as 2.99 to 3.99 on sale at some pet stores. Our bettas cost 3.99
each for males, 4.99 for females.
Other
small species of fish such as fancy guppies, white clouds and danios can
also be used. They are also able to tolerate temperature fluctuations.
If
the tank has too many fish, or the animals are too large for the aquarium
their health will likely suffer. Water quality
is also very important. If you have poor water quality, the fish aren't
going to be living as long as they should and their colors won't be as
good.
Educate
yourself about bettas! There is so much information available on
the internet. Bettas are living things. Please take
care of your betta and give them loving attention. They know
when you neglect them. A great spot for your betta is in your
kitchen or in your office! These are places where your betta will
enjoy watching you and you can give them the attention they deserve.
All of our Aquatic Greenhouse come with a small sheet of instructions
on the care of your tank.
