Aquashella Orlando 2021

If you can believe it, I actually left the house and attended Aquashella down in Orlando, Florida. If you’ve never been to an Aquashella, it is a very different experience from most aquarium trade shows. Aquashella combines, freshwater, saltwater, ponds, and reptiles unlike some other shows that have a more directed focus. It also leans hard into spectacle with large art installations. I definitely has the vibe of an art and music festival as much as it is a trade show.

Sea And Reef Releases Longfin Snow Storm Clownfish for the First Time

Sea and Reef has just released the 11th designer longfin clownfish.  The new fish is a longfin version of the very popular Snow Storm Clownfish. As Manny aquarists know, longfin clownfish are not new to the hobby, but Sea & Reef’s new Longfin Clownfish have a much different look to them. Their longfin clownfish have long flowing fins with a rounded, more even outlines. This sets them apart from the typical longfin strain that display jagged, stiff fins with uneven edges often observed from other clownfish breeders. The reason for the different look of Sea & Reef’s longfin clownfish is due to different genetics. It was bound to happen that the Storm Clownfish gene and the Longfin gene were to meet at some point.
