How To Care For Your Fishes Without Spending A Fortune
by: Partha Mitra
Whether you have a big sized aquarium with lots of fishes or just a glass bowl on your table with a couple of Gold fishes, they give you great pleasure and tranquility to see them.
Fishes are most soothing pets, but they can be real delicate too. However you can take a good care for your fishes by remembering some small tips.
Whether you are out for a couple of days, your fishes will be there waiting for you when you come back. Here are some tips to keep your fishes healthy.
1) Cleaning your aquarium or tank
Your fish survives in the water of your tank or your aquarium. Not only they eat in it but also the water gradually accumulates the bio-waste from our fishes and gravel.
So it makes a god sense to clean the aquarium and change the water once a week. Do not change the entire water immediately. Fishes are sensitive to water temperature and a sudden change may affect them. Collect your fishes in a tub or a plastic bag with some water of your tank or aquarium. Seal the plastic bag and put it safely. Then clean the aquarium and change the water. Put the plastic bag (with the fishes and water) inside the aquarium -without opening it. Let the temperature of the water inside the plastic bag change gradually to that of the new water in the aquarium. Your fishes will adapt to the new temperature. Then open the plastic bag and release the fishes inside the aquarium.
After all a clean aquarium is always more pleasant to look at.
2) Cleaning your aquarium’s air pump
Dirt and gravel often coagulates the air pump making it function less efficiently. Often bio-waste accumulates in the air filter. Consider changing the air filter at least once a month or as mentioned in the air-pump manual
3) Feeding your fishes.
One big word: Do Not Overfeed your fishes. Most aquarium fishes die of overfeeding rather then underfeeding. Also leftover foods (usually your fishes will continue eating till they are in real trouble!) contaminate the water, and promote bacteria harmful to the fishes. Feed the fish small amounts, which they can consume in three to five minutes and feed them daily. And if you are going out for a couple of days in the weekend, do not try to feed them an extra quantity on Friday. Your fishes will do well on an empty stomach for a couple of days. Also it is always better not to ask your helpful neighbor not to feed your fish when you are away for the weekend. The chances are that your over-zealous neighbor will overfeed them (with a good intention, of course!).
There is sufficient food in a balanced aquarium to keep fish healthy even though not fed for a day or more.

Pemerintah Proteksi Benih Ikan Sidat
Pemerintah Proteksi Benih Ikan Sidat
Ikan sidat atau yang dikenal di Jepang sebagai unagi, mulai menjadi incaran investor asing. Pasalnya, beberapa pengusaha dari Vietnam, Jepang, maupun Korea Selatan juga mulai mengembangkan budidaya ikan ini. Makanya, Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan mulai memperketat ekspor benih ikan sidat agar tidak beredar luas ke luar Indonesia.
Tujuan proteksi tersebut adalah meningkatkan nilai tambah pembiakan ikan sidat di dalam negeri. Uniknya, "Pembudidaya ikan sidat di Jepang itu sendiri ternyata adalah orang Indonesia," jelas Made Suita, Kepala Balai Pelayanan Usaha (BLU) Tambak Pandu, Karawang, Jawa Barat akhir pekan lalu. Ia mengindikasikan, benih-benih ikan sidat yang jamak dikembangbiakkan di Korea maupun Vietnam berasal dari Indonesia.
Jepang adalah salah satu negara yang meminati ikan sidat dari Indonesia. Tapi, bila ingin mengekspor ikan sidat ke Jepang, para pembudidaya harus memenuhi persyaratan khusus menyangkut proses budidayanya. "Makanya, pembudidaya ikan sidat sulit ekspor ikan sidat ke Jepang," kata Nurdin, Kepala Bagian Budidaya BLU Pandu Karawang.
Nah, untuk menembus pasar Jepang, salah satu langkah yang jamak dilakukan pebudidaya Indonesia adalah menjalin kerjasama dengan perusahaan Jepang. Itu sebabnya, pemerintah mengembangkan ikan sidat di BLU Tambak Pandu dengan menggandeng PT Suri Tani Pemuka dan mitranya di Jepang, yaitu Asama Industry Co. Ltd. Ketiganya bekerjasama memproduksi ikan sidat di BLU Tambak Pandu Karawang dengan tujuan untuk diekspor ke Jepang.
Pemerintah juga mendorong pembudidaya ikan sidat lokal bekerjasama dengan mereka yang biasa memasok ikan sidat di pasar dunia. Menurut Made, beberapa negara di luar Jepang merupakan pasar yang sangat menarik dan belum banyak disentuh. "Yang mengkonsumsi itu tidak hanya Jepang. Taiwan, Korea Selatan, dan China juga sangat menyukai ikan ini," ujarnya.
Saat ini, benih ikan sidat sudah mulai dikomersilkan oleh sejumlah nelayan di Pelabuhan Ratu, Jawa Barat. Mereka menjual benih ikan sidat per kilogram yang berisi sekitar 5.000 benih seharga Rp 150.000. Pembelinya kebanyakan datang dari Taiwan, Korea Selatan, China, Vietnam dan Jepang.

Be Crocodile Wise in Australia
Be Crocodile Wise in Australia
by: Jamie Stone
Many people have a lot to learn about the dangers of a saltwater crocodile while visiting northern areas of Australia. Many encounters are unintentional and often the results are devastating if not fatal. People should learn more about the crocodile, where they breed, how to spot for signs of crocodile, their most active periods of the year and general safety when camping near water. The following information is to help people realize the dangers of swimming in northern Australian waters.
Many accidents can be avoided with increased awareness.
It's common name, the Saltwater Crocodile, is also known as the Estuarine Crocodile and 'Saltie'. They are found around the coast of Australia anywhere north of the Tropic of Capricorn and inland for up to 100 kms or more. They are the world's largest reptile and have a closing jaw pressure of around 3000 pounds per square inch.
Saltwater crocodile attacks DO happen in Australia on a regular basis, though the majority of attacks occur mainly on cattle and wildlife. Any stories you hear about these creatures stalking other animals and humans, about their size and their strength is probably NOT exaggerated. Many deaths to people have happened over the years due to them not taking the threat seriously enough and ignoring warning signs.
Always read the "observe crocodile warning signs", these are to be taken seriously! They are erected in that particular area where a crocodile is frequently spotted and could still be living or even breeding in that area. These signs are there to warn the people of the risk and should never be ignored!
Just because you don't see a crocodile doesn't mean it's not there!
Their breeding season is from September to May and the warmer weather makes the cold-blooded animals even faster. Be particularly careful at night! A breeding mother is more aggressive, guarding it's eggs until they hatch. The nests are made from plant matter and mud, and usually found above tide level. Keep this in mind when setting up camp or just exploring the bush.
Avoid places where animals or cattle drink. That's where a crocodile would be waiting for an opportunity to attack. Saltwater crocodiles are very conservative with their energy. They stalk their prey and hide underwater and wait to pounce. A crocodile you can see is less dangerous than one you can't see, so stay well away from the water's edge even if you are camping, fishing or just going for an evening walk.
Crocodiles can launch out of the water; never stand on logs overhanging water and always keep your arms and legs inside a boat when fishing.
No warning signs? DO NOT SWIM no matter how hot or inviting the conditions may be. The "saltie" is mostly found in saltwater, but they are also found in freshwater rivers, billabongs and swamps. Consider swimming in any northern waters dangerous regardless if there is a sign or not!
A crocodile sliding into the water from a river bank will leave a characteristic mark; keep this in mind when setting up camp! Never clean fish at the water's edge or discard fish scraps in the water. Most important if camping always keep the camp site clean and free from food scraps and any smelly fish bait. Remember crocodiles are most active at night, food scraps and fish bait left outside your camp site can invite a hungry crocodile and a shocking midnight scare.
Adult males can reach sizes of up to 6 or 7 metres (20 to 23 feet).
Maximum weight varies, but has been known to exceed 1,000 kg in 18 to 19 foot adults. 5 metre adults are closer to 400 to 500 kg.
One of the largest crocodile ever recorded in Australia was 8 metres 64cm (28ft 4 inches) shot by Krystina Pawloski on the Norman River in North Queensland in 1957. Never torment or provoke a crocodile. They are a protected animal to stop poaching and should always be left alone.
Always remain crocodile wise when traveling to northern parts of Australia and always keep the previous information in mind to avoid any tragedies or loss of life.
Be safe and enjoy your trip!

Koi Carp Ponds – Essential Guide to Getting Started Part 2
Koi Carp Ponds – Essential Guide to Getting Started Part 2
by: Michael C. Harris
A great way to begin planning for Koi carp ponds is to view how others of have successfully designed and built their ponds. Searching online is the fastest and easiest way to get started, as there is an endless resource of photos and information to be found there. Seeing how others have done things can spark wide imagination and creative ideas into how you would like your Koi pond to look, and the potential of how it could enhance the overall impression of your garden landscape. Decorations of plans, stones, statues, wooden ornaments and fixtures can have a dramatic and pleasant impact on the dynamics of your Koi garden. However, in regard to including any plants in your pond, be sure to take into consideration that Koi will eat certain plants as well as dig into the soil, which could lead to a potential messing of the pond water thus leading to more frequent cleaning and maintenance. There are plants that are suited well for Koi carp ponds, and covering the plant soil with stones or large gravel can alleviate much of this potential problem. Another great way to include plants in your pond development and keep them safe from your Koi is to put them in a floating island pond planter. Floating islands are great for decorating your Koi pond with beautiful plant life while at the same time providing needed shade and protection from predators for your Koi fish. Again, professional advice is golden.
When seeking the help of an expert, it is wise to do your research first. Get an understanding of the specific questions you should be asking as well as a general sense of the answers you should be getting. Talk to several specialists as apposed to only one or two. Visit your local pet stores to gain knowledge on Koi keeping, Koi supplies and pond equipment, along with construction and maintenance of Koi carp ponds. Get yourself familiar with why you need a Koi pond filter, a Koi pond pump and maybe an aerating device, and how these vital necessities work together to provide a natural, stable Koi fish environment while supplying healthy clean water for your Koi to live and thrive. Develop an awareness of the consistent routine work of Koi keeping and pond maintenance, including water pH level testing, pond and filter cleaning, Koi feeding and inspection of any parasites or diseases, along with any general garden maintenance such as weeding and algae removal.
Protection from predators is a factor to take into consideration at the planning stage of Koi carp ponds. Koi supplies such as overhangs or pond net covers could prove invaluable in keeping your Koi fish safe from other hungry animals. Also, ensuring that the pond water has enough depth for the Koi to submerge out of sight from predators, as well as shading themselves from direct sunlight when needed, is a necessary element in the planning of your Koi pond.
Budgeting for the costs of running and maintaining your pond should be well thought out before hand. Shop around by researching online, as well as visiting your local pet stores, for prices on all things necessary and get a clear idea of what Koi carp ponds entail in regards to buying Koi fish, Koi food, pond cleaning supplies, water testing and treatment supplies, pond filter media, the potential energy costs of running pond filters, pond pumps, fountains and waterfalls, along with the construction materials and tools required to do the job properly. Making a concise list sorted into categories with sub totals of each will allow you to develop a clearer idea of potential monthly and yearly running costs.
