Eels need air b/c they can't get enough oxygen from water. They surface for air ~every 5 minutes. They are also prone to escaping aquariums.

The Swell Shark, found near New Zealand, barks like a dog.

The swordtail is the fastest swimmer of all the fish.

Did you know that 25% of North America's fish species live in the Mississippi River?

http://budurl.com/Clownfish LiveAquaria seems to be just the 2nd in the world to successfully spawn McCulloch's clownfish in captivity!

What do you want to know about fishkeeping? @ or DM me your questions.

Stingrays and electric eels are relatives to sharks. #didyouknow?

A shrimp's heart is in their head #didyouknow

Is anyone else having trouble with following people? I find that I add someone but then when I go back, they're not added.

@JenniferLMeyer You need to break in your "new" aquarium with something hardier than neons & platies, but yes.

@JenniferLMeyer However, platies are livebearers & like salt & neons hate it so you're looking at two very different types of fish.

@JenniferLMeyer Also, both should be in groups. Aplaty alone may chase your neons.

Hint: For greater chances of success with fish (esp touchier species), buy from a fish store that uses the same tap water you have.

@JenniferLMeyer That list looks pretty good. However, I'd avoid Gouramis b/c they get "crabby" & are more aggressive during the break-in.

@JenniferLMeyer But pretty much all the tetras on that list should be okay or smaller danio species (avoid Giant Danios)

What's your favorite freshwater fish? Mine's the Sleeper Goby. It gets HUGE, which is uncommon for gobies.

An adult electric eel can produce electric shock 5x greater than standard wall socket-about 650 volts. Enough to knock a horse off its feet!

The stonefish, which is venomous, may be the most lethal fish in the world.

Pistol Shrimp can break the glass of an aquarium. Be careful to not make him angry if you have one in your tank!
