Male guppies have mostly one thing on their mind, and it costs them dearly
Yup. Sex. A new study finds that boy guppies spend almost half their waking lives chasing after girl guppies, and it comes at a great cost. Males kept in company of females suffer three times higher mortality rates compared to males kept only with other males.2017 Aquarium Trade Shows
Each year, there are dozens of frag swaps and industry trade shows around the country. In addition to the perennial favorites, there has also been an uptick in smaller regional shows available to the general public. Now that the trade show season is in full swing, we’d like to point out some of our favorites, as well as some of the shows we’ll be attending throughout 2017. For us, next on the calendar is Fragniappe.  This funny named event is hosted each year by the Bayou Reef Keeping Club. This years show is on March 4th in Slidell, Louisiana.  Last year approximately 350 visitors attended the show and this year, the club is expecting a much larger crowd.  The Bayou Club also happens to be hosting the 2017 MACNA (MarineSalty Q&A: Okay to Add LPS to Established Softy Tank?
E. ancora and close relatives can reach massive proportions in home aquaria Question Hi guys! My husband and I really enjoy your site and the commonsense advice you always give. My question for you is about the feasibility of adding an LPS coral to an established 60-gallon soft-coral tank. We’ve been keeping soft corals successfully for a long time, and now we’d like to give stony corals a try. We’re leaning toward an anchor coral because a friend of ours (who’s moving out of town and has to break down his tank) has a really nice specimen that he’s willing to give us. Most of the space in the tank is taken up by established colonies, but there is still one rock ledge available that we think should offer adequate room and good conditions for the new coral. The light (T5s) and current should be good in this location, and we’re pretty conscientious about water quality, always keeping nitrates very lowAmazing Images of Samoa’s Deepwater Marinelife
