TANICHTHIS ALBONUBES
(fam. Cyprinidae)

Natural biotope of the fish is southeast China near Canton region and Honh-Kong.
Body shape is fusiform, with short head and small mouth arranged obliquely. Adult size is 4 cm. Basic color is green with a yellow or red lateral line, luminous. The iris is golden and the anal and dorsal fins are almost the same size and have at their base one round blue-black spot, connected with a bright red area. Coda fin lobes are yellowish. Stage

BRACHYDANIO ALBOLINEATUS
(fam. Cyprinidae)

Species come predominantly from Sumatra and eastern India, but may meet in Burma in a limited number of areas.
Presents an elongated body, slim, flat side, very similar to "zebra". On the bot has ordered two pairs of whiskers, the lower is longer. Codală fin is slightly cropped. It is a small pickerel, it reaches within 4.5 cm long. Body color is changing, depending on the angle of incidence of light: blue or green-yellow, with some iridescent reddish or blue to gray. On one side is red longitudinal stripe, hemmed in blue. All fins are reddish. In strong light, the fish acquires rainbow colors.
Sexual dimorphism is less visible, as a rule in such cases when both sexes are almost identical in all species of fish, the male is more flexible and more colorful.
Fish is a group or bank, therefore needs large swimming spaces. The vessel indicated that volume is 50 liters in the bottom of which, the substrate is recommended coarse sand and small gravel least.
Featured Plants of this species are: Myriophyllum, Vallisneria, fontinalis, Limnophila; Cryptocorine, Hygrophila, Nittel and Acorus, all planted in the back of the aquarium.
The indicated water quality is a medium hardness (DGH = 8.10 ) and pH = 7 (neutral).
Optimum temperature is 20-23  C, with a minimum of 16 . Necessary for reproduction are 24-25  C, without thermal fluctuations.
It recommends frequent exchanges of water, fish requiring fresh water constantly. As indicated in all types of aquariums, water filtration and aeration are required.
Supports any type of food, live or dry, but it is better that before and during reproduction is fed Enchytraeus (the Cyclops should be avoided during this period because they eat small crustacean larvae hatched).
Players: We need a small tank, 10-20 liters, equipped with safety net of eggs and a few grains of fine-leaved plants (or Myriophillum Nittel), planted in substrate, or in pots if you want to keep the bottom free. The vessel is filled with water to a height of 15-16 cm and leave the old for at least three zile.În this period should be well aerated and filtered water. To accommodate the new space as soon as possible, breeding pair is inserted in the evening, the report of two males to one female. Suite game begins with the arrival of the first rays of the sun and ending with the withdrawal of the bushes pair of plants, where the female will deposit about 400-500 eggs, fertilized by the male immediately.
The larvae hatch within 24-30 hours and remain attached to plants or glass, 3-4 days, while the yolk sac is complete elimination of specific pockets.
Once they begin to swim freely, chickens will hrănii the infusion or, failing that, with boiled egg yolk.
The vessel nursery, we use a small filter with low flow of air to avoid creating too strong water currents, the larvae are very fragile and sensitive to the turbulence.

APHYOSEMION Gardner
(fam. Cyprinodontidae - "Kill")
This "kill", comes from Nigeria and western Cameroon's.
Body shape is a cylinder in the front and flanks payment between anal fin and codală, the latter having first and last extended radi. Dorsal is behind the analysts, the smaller it. Body length is 4-5 cm, sometimes reaching 6 cm. The difference between the sexes is given in coloring as the male has the sides and the fins of a metallic green, sprinkled

EPIPLATYS DAGETI
(fam. Cyprinodontidae - "Kill")
A native of West Africa (Liberia, Ghana, Ivory Coast), the Kill live in shallow waters, often brackish, invaded by submersibles and floating vegetation (predominantly with water lilies). At maturity, the male reaches a length of 5,5-6 cm, the female being slightly smaller, measuring only 4-5 cm it.
Body has long, flat on the rear flanks. The head is splay, mouth placed at the top of the

Trichogaster Leer
(Fam. Anabantidae)
Also known by Guram-sidefiu throughout Europe and USA, this beautiful and peaceful fish inhabits warm waters, standing, rich vegetation of Malaysia, India, Indonesia and Sumatra, where it can be met with Puntius species and Rasbora. Peaceful and timid, Leerii is ideal for a common aquarium raised in the company of other fish species quiet, where good and aesthetics be kept in pairs or groups of 4-5.

chicken, body color closely resembles that of fish "Neon". It is a sociable and gregarious fish that feels good in the group. She needs pots spacious 50 cm long, a substrate of sand river (well washed) and many bushes Myriophillum, Elodea, Heterandria, Riccia, Ludwig, Vallisneria.
In the natural environment, the fish lives in cold waters and fast, a feature which he kept in a tank, especially in the temperature falling in the high 12-22  C. Winter can withstand an unheated aquarium, provided that during the day and night in the room air temperature does not fall below 14-15  C.
Optimum temperature at which it is better to keep it, is 18-20  Water quality is not much notice, being a fish very
adaptable in terms of hardness and acidity DGH = 4.8  its pH 6-8.
The difference between the sexes is observed with difficulty, in general take into account that the male is more slender and more colorful.
Reproduction: takes place in a pool of 25-30 liters, which includes a substrate of fine gravel washed and disinfected, where we plant a few bushes fontinalis. Water quality is the common basin, very well filtered and aerated. Water column in the vessel should be 15 cm (maximum 20 cm).
For breeding, we enter into the pool several copies in proportions of two males to one female.
Spawning takes place in several stages over five days. Do not eat eggs or chickens, so we should not hurry to move parents into another vessel, until the 6th day.
Hatching eggs lasts for 24-30 hours, the larvae remain attached to the glass or plants 3-4 days. 5 to 6 on the day of hatching to produce the total resorption of yolk sac, at which offspring begin to swim freely.
The first week, chicks feed on egg yolk or milk powder, small doses several times a day, and at its second week and fed to micro or viemi Tubes (well washed and finely chopped).

with red dots, sometimes as horizontal or vertical stripes. The female sides and the fins are sprinkled with brown and the lower body is orange or pink. Males are quarrelsome among themselves, therefore we have to keep the pool aceelaşi only one male and two or three females. It is a species of fish (the whole family) can not be kept in a common aquarium with other fish, but only in pools biotope (furnished and decorated with plants characteristic of that area from where they originate), increased at worst fish with the same family.
Do not love the light too strong and direct, that making them stay longer hidden among plants. Light filtration, using floating plants (říci, Salvinia) or submerged like Ceratopteris, Elodea ect.
They prefer soft water DGH = 3.4 , slightly acidic pH 6-6,5. Optimum growth temperature is 20-23  C and the reproduction is 24  C, remained stable in this limit.
Players: 15-20 liters pots are used, with the bottom closed to Absolute magnitude (may put a black or dark paper in the tank), filled with soft water (3-3,6 ) with pHde 5-6 (acid ).
The pool sits fine-leaved plants like Java moss (Vesicularia, fontinalis) and some floating plants.
The pair of fish is introduced into the pool tonight for accommodation.
Submission takes place in plants and lasts 4-5 days, and at its 6th day parents are moving back into the tank together.
Water should be kept well aerated and filtered ferrite possible emergence infuzorilor or fungi that can attack eggs (add very little methylene blue so that water only become visible blue). If eggs are albesc, getting the color of milk, will be removed daily to not spoil the rest Pont (they were not fertilized and are attacked by the fungus Saprolegnia). Hatching last very long, about 13-15 days. Yolk sac is elimination of specific pockets within 1-2 days, at which chicks will be fed naupli of Cyclops, Daphnia or Artemia.

snout. Sail shape is round and brown, being prepared far back near the tail. Anal fin, the male is sharp, while the female it is rounded.
The male has a golden to green flanks, dressed in a drawing like a purse, red, appearing over five dark horizontal stripes that start behind the pectoral and stop at the base of the tail. Fins can be green or yellow, with black glossy hemmed edges and on their surface can be distinguished small dark points, outlined in black.
Chromatic, the female is similar to the male, but they are deleted noanţele plus shows, on the body, oblique spots.
They are peaceful fish, less sociable, which have the habit of salt water (aquarium should be kept covered).
Calls pools spacious, well planted (mandatory and floating plants), water-filled soft to medium, 4-6  and slightly acidic pH 6-6,5.
Optimum growth temperature is 22-23  C, with minimum 14-15  C. Necessary for reproduction are 25-26  C (stable).
Sometimes males are fighting each other, but not injured or Ciupe.
Players: catchment and water quality are identical to those described above. Plants used as support and Nitella species or variety of Ceratopteris Horn Myriophilum emersion. Couples Suite start the game, chased and swimming is lively throughout the basin, reaching a final retreat to plant shrubs, where the female will deposit about 100-150 eggs in series in a very long time, 2 -- 3 weeks. Therefore, eggs with herb daily support will move to another vessel, prepared beforehand, containing aceelaşi water type and temperature.
Larvae hatch after 9.10 days, measuring 1.5-2 mm and begin swimming at the age of 16-18 days after hatching.
Food is composed of juveniles rotiferi or naupli of different crustaceans (Cyclops, Artemia).
Juveniles should be graded periodically as different and there is increased risk that the larger (of eggs deposited and hatched in the early days) to attack and eat the little ones.

It is a medium-sized fish, 10-12 cm, but despite this requires large pools, spacious, over 60 liters, where they can swim freely, etalându-and true colors. Can be increased and smaller vessels, of 40-50 liters, but then their number must be clearly lower.
Should be increased carefully and associated only with peaceful species, because it is very sensitive to injury.fish to be content with oxygen produced by plants, while breathing air from the surface, which is stored in an organ located behind the head, called "Labyrinth".
The body has an iridescent blue-gray with sidefii, sprinkled with many points darker. Along the body is a black band that starts from the right snout and fin ends near codală. Abdominal fin is hemmed to the outside in orange (this seam is attributed by some breeders only male, but in reality it exists in the female, so can not be counted as sexual dimorphism). Pectoral fins are much extended, like mobile antennas and contain a lot of sensors and taste papilla helps the fish to find food, while being used in research or verification partners and objects around them.
The difference between the sexes is difficult to youth, the mature specimens, the difference is clear and time for abdominal and dorsal fins which are much older male and sharp peak, the female they are small and round.
Grow well in pots with plenty of vegetation (2 / 3 of surface), which provide some shade for fish aceelaşi giving a feeling of safety. Vegetation may be composed of a single species of plants such as Cryptocoryna or groups of plants such as Vallisneria, Limnophila, track, Hygrophila and Acorus, all will be planted in the back of the aquarium.
The water tank will be stabilized, clear, with a pale yellow color, with DGH = 8.10  hardness and acidity of pH = 7.
Optimum growth temperature is 23-24  C, 20  C minimum (must mention that the minimum temperature is not lethal, it is the comfort and the fish lose appetite, the lethal is calculated by subtracting 5 -6  C of the minimum for any type of fish). Temperature reproductive is quite high, 28-30  C, maintained stable within these limits. It can reproduce and lower temperatures 24-26  C, but in these conditions may be delayed embryonic development and hatching is not always successful.
With small mouth, food offered should be well shredded. If it is too much grain, fish tries to mărunţească swallowed up and expulzând it out until its size is sufficiently small to be eaten, which can lead to choking and suffocation of fish.
Reproduction: use a pool of 30-40 liters, well planted (recommended: Myriophillum, Cryptocoryne and some yarn Ricci), filled with ordinary water whose height should not exceed 25-30 cm. Basin be seated in a quiet and away from noise. Being a shy fish, especially during breeding, glass front must be covered with a paper fish to create a sense of security and privacy.
The difficulty and weight for breeding is to find a compatible pair, willing to make together, so the choice of breeding will be common aquarium fish which are more time together or pair has already begun the game Suite (very rare event in the company other fish).
After accommodating the new space, the male begins courtship female, which can last from two days (if the pair is the first submission, the female is ready to make) two to three weeks (normal case first deposit) where female is premature and eggs are made by underdeveloped. In the breaks between female courtship, the male builds a nest of foam of small bubbles of air impregnated with an oily substance that prevents their dissipation and also helps maintain the shape of the whole bunch of foam. Nest construction usually takes two days and is the size of his hands. It is anchored floating plants, emery or glass aquarium.
After the nest, the male to the female lead in it, where is the wind and return them jurur belly up, the female deposited about 80-400 eggs are immediately fertilized by the male. Spawning takes place in several rounds interrupted by breaks in the fish are resting. The eggs are scattered in water collected by the male and placed in the nest. Sometimes the recovery part and the female eggs, if left by the male. The eggs have a high content of oily substance makes them float.
After deposition, the female can be removed and moved back into the tank together. The eggs remain in the care of the male, is always cleaned of algae, fungi and impurities that can alter the entire tip. Maintain male eggs for three days, at which time the young fish hatch. With Hatching and development of all fry, it is time to remove the male.
Feeding juvenile is in the early days of infusion or boiled egg yolk. Gradually move to the Tubes, daphnia, micro-beam.
