Penny Fish

Penny Fish



General information: it's alittle perch like fish belonging to the Glassfish family. it's the littlest of the glassfish family in Australia growing to approximately 4 centimetres. they're usually found in association with thick aquatic vegetation in backwaters and billabongs. they're a schooling fish generally ash gray to gold in colour with about 5 vertical darker bars on the edges . Males have more colourful fins during breeding times which will be mauve, red or maroon. they're reported to be carnivores eating small micro-crustaceans and aquatic insect larvae in their natural habitat, they need small mouths and a peaceful disposition that are comfortable with other small community fishes. The specimens cultured at Aquagreen originate from Darwin River, Anniversary Creek and Burtons Creek within the NT. The water quality within the places these fish came from has been measured and recorded on the ANGFA database, maximum and minimum and averages are listed as a guide. Temperatures from 19 to 35 average 27 deg C , pH from 6 to 7.4 average 6.5 , Hardness approx 51 ppm , Alkalinity approx 48 ppm[8].

Cultivation notes : Aquagreen has not been able breed these small fishes in an aquarium, attempts were made with spawning mops in various sized aquariums to urge them to breed but albeit males were observed more brightly coloured displaying no eggs or fry were observed. The initial observations of fry were noticed during a 9 ton pond, an old above ground swimming bath filled with green water that was getting used to boost plankton. The adults were then put during a pond with Vallisneria growing in approximately 25% of the pond area where newly hatched fry are noticed from about September through to April, the hotter months where the water temperature varies from 27 to 32 deg C[09]. The diet within the ponds is local NT plankton cultured from Billabongs round the Howard River. Adult diets are supplemented with commercial aquaculture feeds. within the aquarium it's recommended that tiny frozen foods be used supplemented with two or more many live foods per week. These fish have a reputation for being difficult to feed with prepared foods like flakes. Initially wild caught specimens were put with small flyspeck hardyheads that were used as trainer fish to urge the Penny Fish to prey on prepared foods.

Jack Fish

Jack Fish Travel Jack also known as the common jack, is black-legged, harshly jacked, k UV alley jack, black Cavalli, jack gravel or yellow Kav Ali, a common species of large marine fish classified into the Jack family. The Crawl Jack is distributed in the tropical an nd temperate waters of the Atlantic Ocean, from Nova Scotia in Canada to Uruguay in the West Atlantic, and from Portugal to Angola in the eastern Atlantic along the Mediterranean. It differs with similar species by its deep body, fin color, and fin ray and lateral line scale calculations by a host's more detailed physiological features. It is one of the largest fishes in the Caranax population, with a maximum height of 124 cm and a weight of 32 kg, though rare in length more than 60 cm. The crawl jack lives in a depth of approximately 350৫০ meters in both coastal and coastal waters, mainly on the reefs, bays, bays, and occasionally on the Mohana River. Young fish dispersed north by the currents of the East Atla...

Lobsters

Lobsters are a family of giant marine crustaceans. Lobsters have long muscular tail bodies and sleep in the service or the older ones at the bottom of the ocean [2]. Three of their five paired legs have claws with the first joints, which are usually much larger than the other. Highly valuable as high seafood. Golden shrimps are economically important and they are one of the most profitable commodities in the coastal region.  Among the commercially important species, two species of the North Atlantic include Homerus and Scampi - the hemispherical Nephrops and thus the hemispherical genus Metanfrops. Although several other groups of crustaceans have the word "lobster", the word "lobster" generally refers to the nail lobster in the Nephropidae family. [3] Garbage lobsters are not closely related to spiny lobster or sleeper lobster, which has no nails (chela), or squat lobster. Reef lobster is the nearest surviving relative of nail molasses and thus three families o...
