marinebioblog — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:11:23 +0000

Maintaining proper aquarium temperatures is essential for the health and well-being of your fish. While aquarium heaters do a pretty good job at this, the probability of fluctuations from fall through spring tends to be greater and possibly more detrimental. You may not even realize how much the temperature of the water changes through the More >

marinebioblog — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 14:35:35 +0000

If you’ve ever had to catch a fish out of your aquarium (or watched the employees at your fish stores catch the fish for you to take home), you can probably appreciate how difficult it can be. These are in relatively small glass or acrylic boxes however; catching a fish from its own home turf More >

The Marine Bio Staff at That Fish Place gets a lot of questions regarding fish husbandry (what can I put in my tank and will it get along with…), especially as technology is advancing and smaller aquariums are becoming easier and easier to maintain.

marinebioblog — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:02:12 +0000

Hi, Jose here. Last time, I blogged about keeping tropicals outside and how the sunlight, natural foods and warm temperatures can benefit tropical species. While the benefits are great, there are also some cautions to consider. This time I’d like to talk about some of the dangers and pests that may wreak havoc on our poor little More >

Fish and Floods – How Raging Waters can Benefit Fish

marinebioblog — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:57:16 +0000

marinebioblog — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 20:56:43 +0000

Hey there! This week I wanted to talk about something a little different than my usual cichlid blog. I wanted to share some tips on how you can develop spectacular color on tropical fish in a way you may have never considered. A few years ago, we moved into a house that had a small pond in the front yard. It was More >

Hiding Spots for Aquarium Fish – A Word of Caution

marinebioblog — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 20:59:14 +0000

The other day I was doing one of my daily walk-throughs and looking for a particular fish, but simply couldn’t find it. Mind you, this was not some tiny little goby or tetra that could almost literally disappear, this was a rather large, Spotted Royal Pleco, Panaque cf. nigrolineatus (L330). This particular Royal Pleco is something around More >

marinebioblog — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 18:51:20 +0000

What could be more exciting for an aquarist than seeing a pair of fish spawn or finding a mass of eggs in the tank? Many beginner aquarists may not realize that their fish have formed a pair, what the fish are doing if they show a courtship ritual or that they are preparing an area to lay More >

Cichlid Territories and Aggression

marinebioblog — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 12:51:06 +0000

This time around I want to talk about something I hold dear to my heart…aggressive cichlids. Most cichlids have a mean streak towards other fish in the tank, but its a whole different story when that aggression is turned on an unsuspecting aquarist. Most of the species that exhibit this type of behavior tend to be in More >
