The Orchid Dottyback (Pseudochromis fridmani) is a superb fish, is there any better color than that intense purple? It makes for a great aquarium fish and being raised in captivity, for me, makes it an even better... by Admin | Mar 19, 2020 | Fish, Reef

Sea & Reef created the Snow Storm Clownfish by breeding one of their Black Storm Clownfish with a Phantom Clownfish. The result is a beautiful white fish with Black eyes, fins and lips. The all white and black face makes the Snow Storm Clownfish very distinct from other white morphs like the Wyoming White Clownfish as pictured below. http://bit.ly/newsJeremy103 Peter- At a certain time in the future, you will suffer from reefer's boredom. It's inevitable, everyone goes through it... and the reasons are many the tank is doing too good and you don't want to change anything in fear of it crashing, or the tank crapped out and you don't want to look in its general direction at all, or perhaps you have other things going on and something simply has to be put on the back burner. Whatever that reason, the remedy is the same- you need to find some source of inspiration to get back into the hobby you truly cherish. You can watch a Netflix documentary about animals that make you never want to hike, swim, or dive in the dark again, take a long bike ride thinking about anything and everything that comes to your mind, or peep at a photo of somebody else's aquarium being awesome and get inspired by that experience. You can also casually lurk around the website of United States Patent and Trademark Office to see if any of the aquarium industry companies you know and follow filed for any new trademarks worth checking. Out of boredom, you know. http://bit.ly/newsPeter103 Main Topic: This is the Reef News Network, why are we talking about Brackish Aquariums?? Listener Request - Joe Joe is a student at one of the schools with a planted aquarium that Jeremy installed. Jeremy has spoken with Joe a number of times and they have discussed all kinds of fish and tanks. Joe requested a while back an Episode on Brackish tanks and even recently did a video project at school about this podcast. In the video he made the request again, so let's run with it!

No oxygen? No worries for H. salminicola. Stephen D. Atkinson Researchers on Monday said they accidentally found the first animal species out of millions of know species that can survive its entirely without the presence of oxygen. Henneguya salminicola (H. salminicola) normally lives in the muscle tissue of its salmon host. The 10-celled creature has evolved to the point where it doesn’t breathe at all, according to a study published in the National Academy of Sciences. “Aerobic respiration was thought to be ubiquitous in animals, but now we confirmed that this is not the case,” said Dorothée Huchon, a zoologist at Israel’s Tel Aviv University in a press release. “Our discovery shows that evolution can go in strange directions.
