Henry’s Reef Gourmet

I’m a Hungry Fish, Boss!

All living creatures eat, and fish is no exception!  One of the most enjoyable part in keeping aquarium is to feed the fish.  Some species exhibit real “characters”, such as Cichlids, and others do not, such as general schooling fish. Some just eat incredibily Non-Stop, such as Goldfish with no real stomach!  Whatever species of fish it is, almost all of the aquarium kept fish learned to respond to human movement outside the aquarium, especially when a person is near. Some will come forward to the front to stare at you with a silent message most likely asking “Human, are you going to feed me? where is it??”  All fish need to eat generally what Mother Nature intended,... Read more»

Your Aquarium Fish Will Love The Chills

With many electrical equipments such as filters, pumps and lightings that will keep an aquarium running, it is not surprising that aquariums easily overheat, resulting in the fish, plants, invertebrates or corals suffering or even die if the temperature runs too warm. It is necessary to have an efficient aquarium chiller in tropical or countries experiencing summer season to do the effective chilling job for the aquariums. As most fish and water living beings come from cold waters in the nature, it will be ideal and perhaps necessary to replicate these conditions with, in most cases, a temperature lower than 30°C. Most will thrive well in the temperature ranging between 22°C to 28°C. As... Read more»
