The Never- Ending Drift

A blog about fish and aquaria for the purpose of disseminating information on different species. My obsession are Characins, Cichlids and other rare fish that I come across and want to share with you via my own experiences with them, fellow bloggers, and what the internet has to offer. Enjoy!

Why aren’t fire rasbora more popular? These fish are gorgeous and I want a million of them.

I've always wondered that myself- peaceful, small, spectacular in even black water tanks and personable! It also feasible too spawn- which in itself reasonably challenging for the true hobbyists in you!

The Oryzias dancena (Indian Ricefish) arrived today, and they’re BEAUTIFUL. No pictures of the actual guys yet: they’re being kept in the dark ‘til they’ve settled. One of the females has a lump on her lower jaw, so I’m keeping an eye on her, but she’s not showing any signs of illness yet and the others are behaving normally.  What has surprised me is that they struggle with some of the faves of my (smaller) O. woworae, like mysis and white mosquito larvae. They kept trying, but couldn’t seem to swallow! Tried them on very small bloodworms next, and that was fine…maybe it was the thickness of the first foods that was the issue? Hm.

Panthera leo spelaea

While many cave lion fossils have been found in caves, this extinct big cat actually lived in various ecosystems from Spain to Alaska. Prehistoric paintings and figurines made by ice age societies help us understand what the cats would’ve looked like in life.
