Download or read book Livebearers written by David Alderton and published by Fox Chapel Publishing. This book was released on 2003-11-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Livebearers focuses on four families of fish which contain many of the most attractive and popular species in the tropical fish hobby today, including guppies, mollies, swordtails, and platies. The families include Goodeidae (Mexican livebearers), Anablepidae (four-eyes and others), Poeciliidae (guppies and others); and Hemirhamphidae (halfbeaks). Author David Alderton explains that hobbyists have applied the term livebearer to these four families for convenience even though there are fourteen families in the wild that reproduce by bearing live young. The chapter “Where in the World?” focuses on the natural history of these families, their distribution, and lifestyles. Hobbyists looking to begin an aquarium of livebearers or to expand their existing communities will find useful information in the chapter called “The Different Groups,” in which Alderton discusses age considerations, health matters, and sex. The chapter also describes the four families and the most common genus/species of each. Included are sixteen representatives of the Family Goodeidae (e.g., Allodontichth, Characodon, and Skiffia), three genus of the Family Anablepidae (Anableps, Jenynsia, and Oxyzgonectes), twenty-six representatives of the Family Poeciliidae (e.g., Belonesox, Fiexipenis, and Limia); and three genus of the Family Hemirhamphidae (Dermogenys, Hemirhamphodon, and Namorhamphus). This colorful, user-friendly guide offers basic information on the anatomical characteristics, housing options, required aquarium equipment for livebearers as well as their feeding habits and food requirements (greenstuff, carotene-rich foods, live foods, meat, etc.). The breeding habits of livebearers have ensured their popularity with hobbyists, and the chapter on reproduction describes the various breeding habits of livebearers and outlines successful breeding strategies for interested hobbyists. In the chapter on health care, the author offers solid advice about caring for livebearers to maximize their lifespan in captivity, which is typically only a few years. He also gives information on signs of illness and some basic diseases that can be treated by the fish keeper. The final chapter offers photographs and distribution maps for sixteen popular livebearers of all four families, including information on size, physical description, natural habitat and behavior, and required aquarium conditions. The author’s livebearer hit parade includes the butterfly goodeid, rainbow goodeid, black-finned goodea, four-eyed fish, guppy (millions fish), black molly, sailfin molly, swordtail, platy (moonfish), mosquito fish (dwarf and large), humpbacked (black-barred) limia, black-bellied limia, pike livebearer (piketop minnow), knife (Alfaro’s) livebearer, and wrestling halfbeak. Resources, glossary, and index included.

The Book is sorted into handy sections with a Table of Contents with clickable links so you can quickly find what you are looking for. The Book Contents Section 1 – Overview, History, Care, Selection, and Anatomy A quick overview of the Goldfish; where it came from, some basic information on the different physical attributes possible, and their basic environmental needs are covered. Goldfish have been cultivated for a thousand years and during that time moved from China their homeland to first Japan and then progressively across Europe. If you want your Goldfish to be disease free and contented, here you will find some basic care guidelines that need to be followed. Selecting healthy fish to buy from a pet shop is almost impossible but here you learn how to treat them during the quarantine period. You need to be familiar with the external and internal parts of a Goldfish so you know when something is not normal. Section 2 – Aquariums, Filters, and Plants Aquariums come in a variety of shapes and materials. Depending on what the primary use of your aquarium will be should guide you on the best one to purchase. There is a huge variety of filters available. One of the most important aspects of filter purchase is getting one of the appropriate size for your setup. If the wrong plants are used in a Goldfish aquarium you will find just stalks left by the next morning. Section 3 – How and What to Feed Goldfish Feeding Goldfish is one of the most important parts of Goldfish care. The fancier the variety, the more important it is that their diet doesn’t cause digestive problems such as swim bladder disorder. Section 4 – Common Diseases and Dangers This section covers fungal, bacterial and parasitical diseases and covers 14 of the more common diseases. Section 5 – Commonly Available Goldfish Varieties Although there are well over 100 varieties of goldfish, there are only 12-13 that are commonly available in Europe and America. Each variety has its own special needs. Learn which varieties can and shouldn’t be mixed together. Section 6 – Breeding Goldfish and Raising Fry Many enthusiasts breed their fish; few raise any to adulthood. Once you have successfully spawned your Goldfish, the book details how to avoid parasite infestation and the best and easiest food to prepare and feed your fry is explained. Section 7 – Live Food Cultures To be successful raising Goldfish from fry to adult requires culturing live foods, especially when the fry are under a month old. One of the easiest live foods to grow is brine shrimp which is ideal as a first food for fry. Section – 8 Ponds, Filters and Clarifiers Installing a Goldfish pond can be a large commitment. There are many decisions to be made before work starts. Location is one of the most important, as is filter selection. Even heavily filtered ponds will go green because most pond filters can’t filter out suspended algae. A UV clarifier can provide crystal clear water all year round. Learn how to calculate what size clarifier you need for your pond (or aquarium).

It is arguably the most popular freshwater aquarium fish species.

They are highly adaptable and hardy fish and can thrive in many different environmental and ecological conditions. Interestingly guppies have 23 pairs of chromosomes, which include one pair of sex chromosomes, which is the same number as humans.
