Siamese
Fighting Fish by Gene A Lucas Ph.D. Edited By Herbert Axelrod
This
is a brand new copy of the out of print TFH Paperback reprint of
the original Lucas book, "Know Your Bettas." To quote Axelrod,
" In as much as the text itself was knowledge at the edge of
science, TFH has reissued the book with the addition of about 100
original illustrations."
Since the original rights
were sold to Pet Library, Gene Lucas
had no input as to the adding of
neither the pictures nor their
captions. There has been some
"discussion" about some of the
captions. The book is approximately
8.5" X 11" and is beautiful
illustrated. The written information
is invaluable. From selecting
bettas, care, feeding, breeding and
a whole chapter on genetics, this
book is considered by many to be the
definitive betta writing. |

Instant Baby Brine
Shrimp |
|
 |
Baby Brine Shrimp (nauplii of Artemia salina)
are widely used in the aquarium hobby as
food during the first stages of many
delicate fishes and as food for many
invertebrates.
Until today, there has been little or no
progress in the use of Baby Brine Shrimp in
the hobby. The whole process of hatching the
brine shrimp cysts at home is cumbersome,
noisy, and messy. More often than not, not
everybody in the household is pleased with
the setup. Also, for reasons typically due
to sub-optimal storage and handling of the
cysts, many of the hatching results are
often extremely low. The hatching takes 24
hours and it can be a problem to match this
timing with the moment the fry need their
first meal.
This is all over now. Ocean Nutrition has
developed the Instant Brine Shrimp, a
revolutionary product that allows you to use
Brine Shrimp when and where you need them.
The product consists entirely of sterile
newborn nauplii in a water solution. Nothing
else has been added, no preservatives or
colorants. The product is natural, as if you
would have hatched the Brine Shrimp
yourself.
The product can be kept and stored at room
temperature for many years, as long as the
container is not opened. Once open, the
product needs to be kept cool in the
refrigerator and can be kept for up to 7
days, like the Baby Brine Shrimp you would
have hatched yourself. The packaging of the
product has a metal cover clearly showing
whether or not the product has been opened,
to avoid any surprise. It contains a net
weight of over 20g (0.7 oz.) drain weight,
or in excess of 1.5 million nauplii. |

extensive explanation by Mr. Atison on how
to best breed and raise the Betta fish. Fray
raised with a combination of Betta Starter
for the first month and Betta PRO after that
have outperformed any other feeding regimes
in terms of survival rate of the fry and
size of the adult Betta. The Bettas grow
bigger but do not get fat. The Betta starter
comes in a nice box containing a small
bottle with 12 g of larval
fish diet, a small spoon and a clear
instruction on how to breed Bettas using
Ocean Nutrition products. |
