Sea Cucumber Sea cucumbers, echinoderms from the class Holothuroidea, are very common in marine reef aquaria as they are prized for their unusual behaviour and appearance. Found on the sea floor worldwide, they have leathery skin and an elongated body containing a single, branched gonad, and they grow typically 10 to 30 centimetres (3.9 to 12 in) long. In the hobby, the sea cucumber consumes detritus that accumulates on the substrate (such as aragonite or sand). Sea cucumbers can live without feeding for months, often up to half a year. If an aquarium system cannot support these creatures, the sea cucumber will shrink gradually as it digests its own body mass to survive, while starving. It would be wise to observe its proper feeding with signs of its feeding tentacles around its mouth to pick up and swallow sand from the bottom of the aquarium for planktons and decaying organic matter, and producing castings of excreted substrate. Sea cucumbers can release highly toxic compounds, especially those known as “Sea Apples” which can be very lethal to the other tank inhabitants if they are injured. Be sure to to avoid possbilities of all powerheads and pumps to be accessible by them as they can squeeze themselves into spaces much smaller than their body. Remove any injured cucumbers immediately from the aquarium and perform a major water change, aided with activated carbon filtration to ensure the other inhabitants are saved.

Guppies are one of the most popular freshwater aquariums in the world. Noted for their colors and patterns that are at once unique and beautiful, guppies are fascinating to watch, and extremely easy and enjoyable to care for. Related to a species of fish close to the pike, wild guppies are found in Barbados, Trinidad, Brazil, and Florida in the U.S. This small fish usually lives in clear tropical waters, but can also survive in brackish water. Sexing Guppies: No two guppies are alike. Female guppies are much larger than the male, and have dull colored bodies with brighter colors enhancing the tail. Male guppies are brilliantly colored, and patterns and colors combinations are endless. In addition, male guppies can often be identified by longer tails and tail fins. Tank Size: It is recommended that fish owners use a 10 gallon aquarium or larger for guppies two months or older. For fry, a 5½ gallon tank is enough. It is a good idea to have more than one tank so male and female guppies can be kept separate, so that the poorer quality males can be prevented from breeding and reproducing. Separation will prevent unwanted babies. Tank Maintenance: The rules of proper tank maintenance apply to keep your guppies healthy and disease-free. Approximately 20% of the water should be siphoned out and replaced once a week. Remember to siphon the water from the bottom of the tank as removing water from just the surface does not rid debris. Water Perimeters: The recommended pH level of the aquarium water should fall between 6.8 and 7.6, with the most desirable range between 7.0 and 7.2. Buy a kit to test the pH level of the water. Feeding Guppies: Baby brine shrimp are high protein favorite of the guppy. These tiny eggs can be hatched at home and fed as a supplement to flake fish food. They are not sold at aquarium shops.

Talk to experienced aquarium fish and koi hobbyists and they will tell you the key to the good health of their beloved pets is maintaining good water quality. Good water quality involves maintaining appropriate levels of essential constituents and minimizing the levels of undesirable substances in the water. Proper filtration, regular water changes and the use of additives are ways in which good water quality can be maintained. How often you should change the water and how much to change at a time depends a lot on the waste load in the tank and the sensitivity of your fish. There are no set rules on the particular type of filter you should use, or on combining different filtration methods. It’s best to research and explore all the options available and use what suit your needs. 3 Types of Filtration Systems Biological Filtration: No matter what type of filter you choose, a good biological filtration base is the most important maintenance device in your aquarium. Biological filters are created by the fostering of ammonia-neutralizing bacteria. Overpopulating the aquarium with fish and overfeeding them are usually the main causes of waste products building up to toxic levels. Waste products include ammonia released from the fishes’ gills, waste matter and scraps of uneaten food. Waste matter and decaying food release ammonia, which can kill aquarium fish even in small amounts. Mother Nature provides several types of bacteria that break down ammonia into less toxic compounds—nitrite and nitrate. The beneficial bacteria multiply naturally in the presence of ammonia and oxygen, and attach themselves to the tank, rocks, gravel and decorative items. However, as this natural bio-filtration method is inadequate for supporting many fish, biological filters are necessary to provide additional surface area for the bacteria colonies to attach themselves to, and increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. Mechanical Filtration: Such system strain solid particles of waste from the water before they have a chance to decay. They do not directly remove dissolved ammonia. These filters also do not remove microscopic bacteria, algae, and any solids trapped by gravel, plants, or decorative items in the tank
