Download or read book Freshwater Aquariums written by David Alderton and published by Fox Chapel Publishing. This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For beginning aquatic fancier looking to start out right with fish, Freshwater Aquariums by David Alderton is the ideal primer. A vertebrate that breathe primarily by means of gills and swim by means of fins is the author’s lead-in to the first chapter called “What are Fish?” Alderton builds the reader’s confidence by providing solid information about what fish are anatomically speaking, how they evolved, how they breathe, how they move, where they live, and how they behave. The new fancier’s aquarium begins in chapter two with instructions on setting up the tank, including selecting the right size, figuring out how many fish, setting the tank, equipment, substrate, heating, lighting, filtrations, plants, water chemistry, assembly, and more. Choosing the freshwater fishes that appeal to the reader is the subject of “Introducing the Categories of Fish,” which schools readers in seven categories: Cyprinids (e.g., goldfish, minnows, and barbs), Characins (e.g., tetras), Cichlids (e.g., oscars, angelfish, and discus), Anabantoids (gouramis, bettas/Siamese fighting fish, and paradise fish), Toothcarps (guppies, swordtails, platies, black mollies, and killifish), Catfish, and others (loaches and Chinese algae eaters). The purchasing, maintenance, and feeding of fish are described in considerable details, and the author gives a basic overview of breeding and keeping fish healthy as well. Resources, glossary, and index conclude the book.

Download or read book Betta Fish Pet Owners Handbook written by Ralph Hooks and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-08-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Betta fish, commonly known as Siamese fighting fish, are one of the most popular and well-known freshwater fish species kept as pets. Their vibrant colors, ornate fins, and minimal care requirements make them popular among both rookie and veteran aquarists. In this chapter, we'll look at the interesting world of Betta fish, including their origins, distinguishing qualities, and why they make such attractive pets. Origin and History Betta fish (Betta splendens) are endemic to Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. They live in shallow, slow-moving waterways like rice paddies, ponds, and marshes. The fish have been grown and preserved in this area for years, originally for use in traditional fish fighting. Historically, these bouts were not only a source of entertainment, but also an opportunity for owners to display the quality and power of their fish. The moniker "Betta" comes from the Thai word "bettah," which means "strife" or "battle," referring to the fish's aggressive temperament. Betta fish were imported to Europe in the nineteenth century and then to the United States, where they were acclaimed for their beauty and became popular decorative pets. Physical characteristics Betta fish are known for their bright colors and intricate fin displays. They come in a range of hues, including red, blue, green, purple, and white, and may be solid, marbled, or multicolored. Betta fish are known for their long, flowing fins. Males, in particular, are famed for their stunning fin displays during courting and territorial fights. Betta fish have a distinct anatomical feature known as the labyrinth organ. This particular anatomy enables them to breathe air from the surface, making them ideal for areas with low oxygen levels. This adaptability is a major reason why Betta fish may flourish in smaller tanks or even bowls, while a bigger, well-maintained aquarium is recommended for their general health and wellbeing. Behavior and Temperament Betta fish are noted for their territorial and even violent behavior, particularly in males. In the wild, they build and defend their territories, resulting in frequent conflicts with other males. This territoriality translates into their behavior in captivity; males are often violent against one another, which is why they are typically kept alone or with carefully chosen tank mates.
