This blog really didn't survive the upgrade to MT4.

The firemouths are breeding! They're only coming out one at a time for feeding since the babies were born about three days ago. This one is in the middle of a bunch of thawed brine shrimp. The firemouths are breeding! They've made 3 pits in the back of the tank, and the main one is in behind a log in a particularly densely planted area. You can see one heading back there if you look carefully. The firemouths are breeding! Babies! I captured this by sticking my hand behind the tank and clicking blindly, so please excuse the reflection. ]]> http://thispublicaddress.com/waterlogged/2007/07/the_firemouths_are_breeding.html http://thispublicaddress.com/waterlogged/2007/07/the_firemouths_are_breeding.html cichlids Fri, 20 Jul 2007 11:17:28 -0600 L14, first night New Goldie We brought him (her?) home two days ago.

Pet fish got a boost in their popularity after the 2003 hit animated film "Finding Nemo," but the aquatics trend has since faded for some fans. The leading pet store chains, Petsmart Inc. and privately held Petco, have large aquatic departments. Chappell said that Wal-Mart does not have the appeal of such chains or independent aquatics stores for fish aficionados. "You see too many floaters," Chappell said of its displays. "You walk in there and there are a bunch of dead fish." "It's not that consumers don't want fish, it's just, in my opinion, it's just consumers don't want to buy fish there and it's in large part because they don't look particularly healthy," Chappell said. According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, 13.9 million U.S. households own freshwater fish as pets as compared to 43.5 million U.S.households with dogs and 37.7 million with cats.

Albert will continue as the official Kitchen Fish, but I’m not adding any more to my study for now. (At least not males. At least not this week.) Instead, the 2g desktop tank is now home to three dwarf puffers. They’re each a little more than 1/2” long right now, and are getting along reasonably well. There’s plenty of wood, java ferns, java moss, and crypts in the tank for hiding places. Everything I’ve read indicates that these are bright, inquisitive little fish. And damned if they didn’t swim right up to the glass to see what I was up to with the camera. Most everyone else has to be coaxed into coming near the camera, but not these buggers.]]> http://thispublicaddress.com/waterlogged/2007/02/dwarf_puffers.html http://thispublicaddress.com/waterlogged/2007/02/dwarf_puffers.html 2g desktop Thu, 01 Feb 2007 14:14:12 -0600 Corydoras Leucomelas Corydoras Leucomelas (Best viewed larger in flickr.)]]> http://thispublicaddress.com/waterlogged/2007/01/corydoras_leucomelas.html http://thispublicaddress.com/waterlogged/2007/01/corydoras_leucomelas.html Fish Mon, 15 Jan 2007 13:37:50 -0600 Exene Exene One of the very first corys we brought home back in the summer.
