Hope everyone is enjoying the 2011 summer season.

I have a story to share with you, that I distinctly remember. It involves my friends two large aquariums. One aquarium has many freshwater fish in it, the other is home to his pet octopus.

These aquariums are located in different areas of the home, also the aquariums are both fully covered with a full aquarium hood top.

Okay, so my friend leaves for a business trip for a few days, and he puts a vacation fish food feeder in the freshwater aquarium, and he feeds the octopus before leaving, thinking that both tanks should be fine while he is away.

When he returns home to his surprise the freshwater aquarium was completely absent of any fish. However when he looked over at his octopus tank everything seemed quite well.

Can anyone guess what happened to all of the freshwater fish???

The octopus was to blame, it opens the top of its own aquarium, it crawled out of its aquarium, then down onto the floor, then crawled and made its way across the home, made its way up on the freshwater aquarium, where it then proceeded to open the freshwater aquarium and have a fresh fish dinner. Then the octopus makes its way back to own its aquarium, and even closes the canopy door before full submerging itself into the water; as if nothing every happened!

End of story.

Now that's an intelligent marine animal. The horror part is the freshwater fish never had a chance. : )

*Take a look at this video that I found on StumbleUpon of the Mimic Octopus.

For the record, my first fish was some sort of cichlid - forgive me for not remembering but I was a baby. Which is pretty much how I got started in the hobby - my Dad was a fish nut and we've always had fish. The first fishies I selected on my own were veiltail angelfish and I still adore them. My first tank was a 25 gallon tall show tank. We've just moved and don't have fish right now, but I plan to get some soon. It's fun to visit local fish stores and see all the different species available now - I love live plants too so whatever fish I get will have to co-exist peacefully with my aquatic flora!

Your turn! (:P)]]> diann New To The Hobby Fri, 05 Aug 2011 11:43:55 -0600 http://www.ocreef.com/forum/read.php?7,16,16#msg-16 http://www.ocreef.com/forum/read.php?7,16,16#msg-16
What's yours?]]> diann Planted Aquariums Fri, 22 Jul 2011 11:05:31 -0600 http://www.ocreef.com/forum/read.php?9,14,15#msg-15 http://www.ocreef.com/forum/read.php?9,14,15#msg-15
You're very smart to ask the questions before you run out and get a tank and fish. I would suggest visiting pet stores and also reading a couple of books. If you see a fish you like, read up on it and see if it's a good community tank fish or not. You don't want your new fishies attacking one another. Also, some fish eat or uproot plants and if you like the look of live plants, that can be aggravating or expensive.

Good book: Innes's Exotic Aquarium Fishes: A Work of General Reference (used copies available on Amazon for 10 cents!)

Decide how big a tank you want and can afford. Some fish need more room or more current in their water than others. You want to provide a suitable home for your new pets or they will get sick and possibly die. At the very least, they will be unhappy and unhappy fish don't look their best.

The worst this most new hobbyists do is to overcrowd their tanks. The rule of thumb for tropical (freshawater fish is one inch of fish (length) for one gallon of water. So if you buy a ten gallon tank, you can support one big fish or a small school of neon tetras. Just don't overcrowd them.

Talk to people at your local pet store about different filtration systems. I know some people who spend a ton of money on these but sometimes a plain old-fashioned box filter in the corner will do the trick. You may decide you want one of those filters that hangs off the back of the tank. Or you might go all out and buy a protein skimmer and all the bells and whistles. The filter will keep the water clean for the most part, but you will need to do periodic water changes. Innes has great information on this process and how much to change at one time - everyone has their preferences and talking to other hobbyists is a good way to learn alternatives. Some of it will depend on how much you have to spend, how dirty the fish in your tank are, whether or not you have live plants (rooted plants don't do well with undergravel filters), and other factors.

Regarding water changes, check with your local water district and find out when they add chlorine and anything else to the water supply and don't change your water right after that - give the chemicals a few days to dissipate.

One of the other forum posts has a list of fish hobbyist clubs. If one is close to you, please go to a meeting. Not only will you find people who love fish as much as you do, they can answer your questions and offer advice. Fish keepers love to help each other out and you might even find out about varieties/species of fish that aren't in the stores.

Let me know if you have more question and bravo for wanting to move to a bigger tank. I think you'll enjoy it a great deal!]]> diann Photo Contest!
