Background and featured art decor for the aquarium

I have been contemplating about the addition of internal tank decor. These pieces of features like the drift objects or plant sproutings are great decor to give the setting together with the fishes some dimension and good realistic art for a surreal feeling.

I have seen fibre glass and foam art pieces meant for aquariums for this kind of placings inside the tank background, some are realistic and look natural and rustic like to give the tank a little bit of enviroment like the perfect setting in a water catchment area where fishes thrive.

...how dare you eat peacock bass!...

The peacock bass, also know as cichla pavon or the tucunare, in the richest- its considered a very good game fish but on the contrary its a very good alternative cheap and easily available meat for the hungry for worthiness.

I see the contrasting needs of each extreme group of dependencies for the want for the fish for different reasons, i beg to contrast and comment on each type of meaning to the motion if this fish should be protected and only make a rule when a proposal is justified.

This is surely a very beautiful fish in appearance with distinction,no doubt about it, but the daring and thrill seeker will see this as an opportunity to enhance the fishing industry for its pride to fish and not eat,unlike those who has no choice but to prey for its flesh.

So much popularity has explode this natural hunt for gamers worldwide that the only place to hunt from its primary native location has brought this fish to the great americas and the far east. This has become a significant much sought fish in terms of hooking up or just putting into an aquaria for beauty ornamental purpose that somehows makes the avid enthusiasts thrilled and excited wherever maybe. I share this joy too

Cooked meal or fresh cut feed?

I am into feeding my fishes with wholesome prawns with the lesser live feeders. The option of choice selection is the ready processed packed from the supermarket packet shrimp or the fresly caught prawns that is shelled and raw. I tried the latter and found i had no problems with the feeds for a couple of months, then i go for the alternative and used the frozen refrigerated packet ones, also no problem as the fishes consumed rationally. I then did a comparison with both water, fish and nutrition values. I did not observe any vast water foulage nor bad fish behaviors or any other upset to the whole aquarium. The option is to feed sparingly and no wastage and the waters does not affect adversely. Bottom line is its okay to go for any prawn feed type provided good handling and storage should be maintained to ensure they are consumed and properly replenished.

water culture! how stable is your aquatic water for your ornamental pet in a fish enclosure,tank or pond. This is a common mistake or dilemma a newbie or starter hobbyist begins his adventure. This can be a drawback or a valuable lesson to value and sustain for the rest of the times to maintain this exciting pastime. The gist of the matter is how to keep and how many to feed and by doing so , at which point for the grux of the matter supress the ammonia state of the waste and pollution to null state to keep the water parameters in the water feature eco friendly and viable. There is no hard and fuss rule here, the combination of control and the energy to protect and perform rituals and tasks to make the cultured water in good condition.
once routined and time tabled, the feed and fish appetite can be met and balanced for a manageable cycle for the habit.

Acid or alkaline, PH parameter balance

whether its freshwater , ornamental fish or sea water marine aquatic fish specie
its going to be brought home in your own privacy and for yout own convenience and sole discression to keep and maintain the fish to an experience just like in the nature state
its captivity to simulate the lake/reservoir or sea environment and to do that , the basic wate must be the same if not very close.

sea water marine fish saltish state needs to be calibrated in terms of the complicated water parameters which could determine the lifespan and behavior of the fish inside your tank
those brackish water water needs to be very real, else those dwelling fish base under those waters will not accept and thus will perish in no time if the acclimatisation effects does not come into compatibility sooner than later.

Glass or acrylic?

There is a common notion fish tank are all glass material mde, i am wrong! i came to know some tanks are custom made to be tough durable acrylic or plastic.
I seem to prefer glass as it has properties to be see thru and easily maintain as it is easily fabricated, cut glass are tailored in various dimensions for that purpose.
Some professional and basic ones do come in acrylic too, these plastic sheets are light weight and easily handled to put into place by means of bonding materials to set the object. The downside however is the costs to manufacture as these fluid compond of plastic does not come cheap.
the other bad side i think is the surface and fragility to be scratched and defaced significantly , glass on the other hand can be polised but still fragile in another way.
so with both options, i reckon it boils to preference and costs, the eye of the beholder will choose the picture.
