In this March issue of cover photo is rasboras Trigonostoma sp. sailing over a beautiful aquascape, but the artistic effect is of a mossy glen. Each month another aspect of the Nature Aquarium concept, which draws inspiration from terrestrial landscapes, is discussed in Mr. Takashi Amano’s feature series. This month he focuses on aquatic mosses and how they can be used to naturalize a planted layout, emulating the look of moss-covered forest scenery (p. 62). Photograph by Takashi Amano Feature...

I remembered saving hard during my college days for my first purchase of JUWEL Aquarium, RIO 125, in the early 1990s for a freshwater planted tank setup. Attracted to its complete and neat design and system, I personally thought that no other aquarium tank during then was able to match this product in terms of quality and price, especially the glass. JUWEL has been in the aquarium market for over 35 years in aquarium manufacturing in Germany and have received many good reviews from satisfied... Read more»

These piranhas Pygocentrus piraya are often called San Francisco piranhas, a potentially misleading name given them based on their native range in Brazil’s Rio São Francisco. Piranhas are apex predators, and like many other predatory species they are extremely popular aquarium specimens. Unfortunately many myths abound about the nature and the proper care of these fish. Find out how they should actually be kept in this month’s look at predatory fish, “The Killer Instinct.” Photograph... Read more»
Freshwater Puffer Fish belongs to the family Tetradontidae and they have four teeth. Due to their defensive mechanism ability to inflate themselves with air or water when they feel threatened, they are called Puffer Fish, making them difficult to the predators to swallow them. They have black eyes that turn blue when they are in the light and their eyes move interestingly independent of each other. They can be found in freshwater, brackish water and sea water. Due to the different kinds... Read more»

Sea Slug Sea slugs are mollusks, related to the shelled terrestrial snails that we are all too familiar with on land. They are distributed everywhere in both tropical and temperate seas, with the greatest numbers and the largest kinds found in tropical waters. Most sea slugs are rather small under 1 inch and some are as long as 12 inches, the largest which is found in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Sea slugs display a great array of solid colors and patterns, and are also known as “butterlfies... Read more»
Bettas! The variety in color and finnage available in domestic strains of Betta splendens is truly astounding, as the beautiful male on this month’s cover reminds us, but there is an equally diverse variety among the many wild bettas—the other species in the genus Betta. Large and small, dazzling and drab, bubblenesting and mouthbrooding, there are bettas enough to appeal to anyone. This month, Stan Sung reviews these gems of the Orient in “Magnificent Bettas” (p. 70). Photograph by Ed Wong Feature... Read more»

Our cover story, “Feeding Jellyfish: Problems and Solutions” (p. 90) tells of the trial-and-error search for the best way to feed captive... Read more»
Live Sand (”LS”) is essentially a combination of non-living substrate with a myriad of tiny beneficial life forms that grows on it. It is home to many microscopic biological bacteria. LS can form as a main base for biological filtration in a marine aquarium, while the living organisms in the sand bed can help consume the organic matters. LS can be collected live from the ocean, or can be cultured from a non-living oral sand to make it live. The quickest method in starting a marine aquarium... Read more»
