Salt water aquarium fish


One of my favorite salt water aquarium fish are seahorses. I have always wanted a tank full of those little creatures. After doing some research on them when I was in my late teens I decided against them. The main reasons at the time were that very few of the seahorses in captivity were bred in captivity but caught in the wild. As a result many seahorses died.

Since then there are many places that breed salt water aquarium fish for sale to the pet trade rather then catch them in the wild.

There is one Los Angeles fish store that you can buy salt water fish at good prices. Not only can you buy fish from them but also buy live coral. The same store also tank raises some of their own seahorses which is unusual for the west coast of the USA. It is still unfortunate that many salt water fish are still live caught for the pet industry. Maybe one day someone will have better luck at raising and domesticating many of the salt water fish just like the fresh water goldfish.

New trouble for the north pole

Now that the ice is slowly melting the polar cap at the top of our world there is a new quest for greed. Video news below shows that there is now a quest to rape the raw resources found beneath the polar ice.

Dolphin movie

Eye of the Dolphin has been released on DVD. If you have not rented or bought the DVD by now you are missing out on a good dolphin movie. Thankfully it is nothing like the old Flipper series where Flipper is always rescuing someone. This has dolphins in their own world and natural. A must see if you have an afternoon you just want the escape factor for.
