Aquarium Lover answers:

The humphead glass tetra was discovered by scientists last year, they are already available to aquarists, the are a bit punchy amoungst themselves but ignore other species, pictures dont do these awesome schooling fish justice

Betty asks…

What are some “exotic” looking freshwater fish to put in my 55 gallon aquarium?

I have a 55 gallon aquarium and I have angelfish in there now Im thinking about getting some kind of long “eel” like fish like a rope fish or something, but I need ideas on different kinds of fish that are semi big/med. I dont want anything bigger than like 5-6 inches(I know rope fish get bigger than that,, thats why all the other fish I dont want as big:) ) . I really just want pretty/ vibrant colored fish. Any suggestions??????? Ohh my tank is 55 gallon not sure if I said that. Thanks in advance:)
African Chilids wont work or any type of chilids because they are SUPER aggressive and have to be with there on kind. I have had tank for a while but I’m only 16. So nothing to expensive, But I dont know quite a bit about fishies and tanks and everything so they dont have to be beginner fish!!:) Thanks

Aquarium Lover answers:

There isn’t a whole lot of color available in the semi-aggressive fish genre. Most of those fish are black or silver. However, here are a couple of fish you can try that will get along with angels:

Leporinus fasciatus (6 – 7 inches average, but can reach up to 12 inches)
Gourami’s (Gold, Blue, Opaline, and Pink Kissing; Gold, Blue, and Opaline are 4.5 – 5 inches, and Pink Kissing are 6 inches average)
Giant Danios (4 inches; need to buy is large schools; get at the very least 3 of them)
Barbs (Tiger, Albino Tiger, Long-fin Rosy, Rosy, and Glass; all are about 2.5 – 3 inches; need to buy in schools; get at the very least 3 of any/each of them)
Silver Dollars (about 5 – 6 inches; a disk shaped fish)

For an “eel like fish” you may also want to consider a Peacock Eel. They can reach 12 inches, but are often smaller when kept in captivity. They like the company of other Peacock Eels.

Rope fish have an average size, even in captivity, of about a foot and a half. They also like the company of other Rope fish. I don’t think the Rope fish is a practical choice for your size aquarium.

David asks…

Whats the most exotic freshwater fish to you?

I want a REALLY exotic pet fish to go in my 10 gallon aquarium with my neon tetras and betta. But would you suggest anything else that I can add that is colourful or exotic and doesnt eat other fish. BTW: this is sorta like a poll too so you can just give straight out jot notes or add detail to persuade for 10 points! Good luck : ) Thank you
Also it doesnt neccaserly need to be FISH, but is still friendly, doesnt eat others and can fit in a 10 gallon tank. : )

Happy Aquarium – Getting All The Achievements

Like any good video game, Happy Aquarium has a lot of fun diversions that allow you to engage with different aspects of game play on a competitive level. One of the more fun ways to do this is with Happy Aquarium achievements – the small medals you get for completing high level tasks that other players will look at with awe. You’ll find in many cases that the quick route to Level 40 is littered with things you can do that will reward you for your efforts – from mating to training to spending extra coins on all sorts of items for your tanks. Here are some tips to landing those elusive Happy Aquarium achievements.

What Happy Aquarium Achievements Are There?

There are currently twelve different achievements in Happy Aquarium that you can collect. Each achievement has four different levels – bronze, silver, gold, and star. These come in the forms of medals that you can collect and show off to your fellow players if you know where to put them. Many of these medals are relatively easy to get.

Most of them relate to just spending you coins. You’ll get medals for buying items for your tank, buying fish, buying different kinds of fish, buying gifts for friends and so on. You will also gain medals by mating your fish, training your fish, rescuing turtles and squid, and getting different kinds of fish up to adulthood. Basically, everything you already do in the game will be rewarded, but you have to do it all a LOT to get the medals for it.

Getting All the Happy Aquarium Achievements Quickly

To get the first level of achievements – the bronze accomplishment – you don’t need to do very much. Most bronze requirements can be reached before you hit level 10. However, the silver and beyond get much harder and the star level still has not been cracked by most players. So, you’ll need to be very dedicated and be able to complete as many tasks as possible each day when you login to the game.

If you’re interested in getting a large number of Happy Aquarium achievements, make sure you spend a great deal of time focusing on all of the aspects of the game. If you just buy and sell the same fish, you’ll never get the collection and mating achievements that should be relatively easy to snag. So, instead of lasering in, make sure to have some variety, getting as many fish as you can, mating them when you can and getting them all to adulthood without forgetting to feed them. You’d be surprised how fast you can get all the achievements you need.

Saltwater aquariums are great for people who love the ocean and the creatures that live underneath it. It is best to orient yourself and choose the right fish carefully.

If you want to have the most wonderful marine aquarium in your own home, you have to first choose what kind of fishes you will put in it. More over, you have to be able to maintain your aquarium. This requires patience and motivation. Having a salt-water aquarium is not that hard after all.

Choosing the Right Fish for Your Saltwater Aquarium

The first step is to decide on the number of fish you want to house in your aquarium. Make a rough estimate on how many fish will fit spaciously in your aquarium. As a rule, you have to allow two inches of fish with every gallon of water in the tank. (more…)
