Florida May Tighten Reef Harvest Rules
A series of draft changes to Florida’s marine-life (aquarium species) fishery regulations will be discussed at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s public meetingDec. 4 in Key West, Fla. The changes would protect additional fish and invertebrate species, and establish generally tighter limits on collection species currently regulated.
The commission attributes changes in aquarium technology that have allowed for “living-reef tanks” as opposed to simple fish tanks as driving the need for the regulatory changes.
“Many consumers are now seeking more invertebrates, such as snails, anemones and crabs for their living-reef aquarium,” the draft rule reads. “FWC rulemaking has not kept pace with the demand for more invertebrates.”
The regulations would apply to the 168 commercial endorsements, as well as recreational divers collecting for their own aquariums. In 2005, Florida established an endorsement program that allowed 130 commercial divers to collect aquarium species and 38 to commercial fishermen who captured marine life as bycatch in shrimp trawls, and crab and lobster traps. Aside from the holders of those 146 endorsements, commercial marine-life harvesting is not allowed in Florida waters, and recreational divers with saltwater-fishing licenses are not allowed to sell any of their marine catch.
Proposed changes include establishing maximum size limits for parrotfish and tangs (to curtail food harvest), making the slot limit for Cuban hogfish consistent with that of Spanish hogfish, and widening the slot limit on butterflyfish. The proposes rules would also establish a personal limit for butterfly fish in addition to the existing vessel limit.

Scientists have highlighted the threatened conservation status of the Red lined torpedo barb, Puntius denisonii, a popular aquarium fish.
Prasad, Ali and Raghavan summarised the current knowledge on Puntius denisonii in the latest issue of the journal Environmental Biology of Fishes, as part of the journal's regular Threatened Fishes of the World series.
Their paper claims that Puntius denisonii is officially regarded as "Endangered", and that the aquarium trade is responsible for the demise of the fish.

AQUARIUM PLANTS!
Some aquarium hobbyist likes to keep aquarium plants in their aquarium, but you always have to replace the plants because they are always wilting. Then you get frustrated on keeping them. What aquarium plants need? Aquarium Plants need Lighting, Nutrients and some aquarium hobbyist this thing, CO2! CO2 is important to plants because they make their own food out of CO2. Remember plants need CO2 for food, that's why planting more trees help reduces CO2 in our air and that's good. But in the aquarium water CO2 is reduce because the aquarium filter moves the water and creates oxygen and if you have a heavily planted aquarium which needs more CO2. Do I need CO2? Depends on how many plants you have in your aquarium. If you have a lot of plants you should have CO2, but if you don't you do not need extra CO2.
How to make an Aquarium CO2 System?
You don't spend lots of money on a complicated pressurised aquarium CO2 system. This method we are going to show you is the uncomplicated bio method of producing CO2 for your aquarium plants.
Here is the materials you need:
1 two litre soda bottle with a cap and an extra cap for mixing your mixture
1 silicone airline tube (the one you use of your aquarium air pump)
1 aquarium CO2 diffuser (You can find them at most pets store that's sells aquarium fish)
Glue Gun
Check Valve
1 teaspoon of yeast (We recommend using active dry yeast or quick yeast)
3/4-1 Cup Of Sugar
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (for areas with soft water)
6-7 Cup of water (Luke warm water is recommended)
A funnel (To prevent messes)
Instructions:
Make a hole on one of the caps, then insert the airline tube through it until its 2-3 cm below the cap. Then spread the glue from the glue gun around the hole to seal it and let it dry until usage. Then add the yeast, sugar, baking soda(for area with soft water), and luke warm water. Then use the cap with the hole and put it on. Then shake the mixture well. Then put the cap on with airline tube. Remember to put the check valve to prevent water siphoning into your aquarium.

A-fish-ionados
Fish hobbyists from cities such as Des Moines, Iowa and Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska joined other enthusiasts from Blue Springs, Independence and Kansas City at an auction and fundraiser Saturday sponsored by the Heart of America Aquarium Society.
HAAS Director Ron Wells said the auction – held at the Palmer Senior Center at 218A North Pleasant in Independence – was the third of the year at Palmer for the Web-based organization.
The auction, Wells said, included a can food drive to benefit Eastern Jackson County’s Community Services League, in addition to a food court that contributed proceeds from sales to the CSL as well.
“Our goal is to support 10 families for Thanksgiving,” Wells said, adding that a few members of HAAS who work with or volunteers at one of the CSL’s six sites in the Eastern Jackson County area suggested the two organizations partner for a day to raise funds. “This is more than about fish.”

Hooked on Aquariums
Dave Unruh is waiting for a little hanky panky in his basement. But it's been three years. And still, he waits. He's pretty much done everything he can to set the mood for a little lovin'.
Luckily, Dave is a patient guy. Good thing. When it comes to breeding fish, especially those rather fussy wild-caught angel fish, he knows he simply can't rush nature.
About three years ago, he bought 10. Pterophyllum scalare they are. Eight survived and seem to delight in entertaining visitors with their graceful dances in their 500-litre tank .
He's researched them. Read about their likes and dislikes. And has done everything possible to please them.
He's dimmed the lights. He filters their water through peat moss to give it a tea-like tint to mimic their natural, South American environment. He's included stuff they like to hide in: ribbon-like grass and driftwood.
He even varies their diet to keep them content. Frozen bloodworms. Live red worms. And good-quality flaked food that he stores in his freezer for optimal freshness.
He fusses about things like water temperature and PH levels. Everything has to be just right.
He even has a piece of slate propped against one side of the tank because he read they like to lay eggs on a vertical, slanted surface.
To the human observer, they seem happy enough.
Problem is, they're just not in the mood for anything amourous.
Dave is pretty sure he's got a mix of males and females. Although, he admits with a smile: "I can't tell the difference."
