Other Fish

"Leaping! We come... Slicing joyously through each battling wave... Armored, Flashing and Bright, like Knights of Olde... Braving hungry teeth and wicked claws. Press on! Be Bold! We are so many stories waiting to be told... When we've returned at last to our humble homes... Quests fulfilled... Treasures hidden along the Shore... Toasty at the hearthside, Content to feed the new generations with epic tales. Content.. No more to roam the wandering waters and restless Seas of Life! Some have waited a ...  Read the complete review

We have a tiger oscar, he is part of the ciclid family and originates from southern america. These fish can grow to 18 inches long and weigh 3.5lb. They are sometimes sold as food on american markets. My oscar ozzy is black with red spotty patches on both sides and his tummy. They are sold in pet shops as tropical fish needing a heated tank but surprisingly can tolerate temperatures as low as 13'c. In the wild there main food source is insects so i have given mine crickets which he seems to enjoy but having said that he will try to eat anything that goes in his tank even my hand. The main foods i use with ...  Read the complete review

It’s been a while since I’ve written a fishy op so I thought I would rectify the situation. The title refers to the fact that very few people that I know have ever heard of this fish, let alone kept or bred it.

There are several types of Farlowella and you can never be sure which type ...  Read the complete review

After watching the program Deep trouble on BBC 2 on Sunday the 28th October it inspired me to write this . Whilst this program was covering many subjects about man and fish trade it made my stomach turn when it got to the point of Maine fish and corals as a hobby as such they called it done for luxury. I admit myself i have had a marine set up which was fairly successful but after seeing this i would only buy fish not caught in such a way no matter how beautiful any other fish is. To see how some of the fish are caught by the way of using cyanide which makes it easier for the fish to be caught and know by the time that fish reaches our shops that ...  Read the complete review

**** In a DVD fashion, my 100th opinion will feature extra cut-paragraphs and a collection of hilarious deleted titles. Keep scrolling at the bottom for each ***** - Why fish? - Why not? - Well, it’s stupid. You’re just picking some obscure subject so you can waffle on for 2000 words and bore everybody. It’s not going to help anyone make any decisions and you know it. - Sure it will. It’ll help then decide if I like fish or not. - Oh that’s just great. Real great. Now you’re just being childish. - Am not. - Am too! - Am not. - Am t… ...  Read the complete review
