Does anyone here keep fish?

[PrincessJade]

Look at the little clown fish! Sooooo cute. x[DOUBLEPOST=1515860967][/DOUBLEPOST]

I must tell my brother about the magnet algae cleaner though he tells me he has a fish who eats the algae?

But yes the rest of it I was a bit lost, lol

Don’t you have to be careful when first transferring fish to the tank ?

Be carful you don’t get anything between the glass and the magnet though. It will scratch it.
You have to acclimate the fish to the new water yes. x

The fish stay on the bottom to keep warm. Plus if he leaves his pump on, which he should. It won’t freeze. x

Pond never freezes thankfully.i keep the pump on till pretty late at night.
But if we have a really cold spell like before xmas.
I cover the pond with an old tent, works great. And the fish like camping lol.

@PrincessJade those look amazing, been into freshwater fishes for a while now. Always wanted to set up a marine system but never found the time and effort. Recently got into aquascaping as well started of small in a 20 gallon tank.

What species of fish are those?

And why do some fish look like they are electrically lit and with some amazing colouring?

Top pic is a copperband butterfly
Bottom pic is a long nose hawk fish
Marine fish are stunning compared to 95% of tropical fish. The led white/blue lighting brings out colours. x

How many of each fish type do you have ?

What do you when fish breed, keep them or do other fish eat them?

 

[El Loco]

Or alternatively do you collect the roe and make caviar?
