Chaos in Black & White
Many pleco forms are near extinction in their natural habitat; we have the unique opportunity to conserve them in the aquarium, at least on a small scale.
CORAL Video: Funky Tour of SPS Reef
Hand-held camera invasion of an interesting 200-gallon small-polyp stony coral reef (but watch for the Ricordea spp. profusion around minute 5).

Aquarium automation for EVERYONE! :-)John van Rompu says:
Don't agree with Andrea, how do you explain naturally occurring hybrids that appear on an on-going basis all the time. without this occurrence we would not have adaptation to changing elements - environments etc.Andrea Guerra says:
Hybrids are the evidence of egoistic manipulation of nature done by humankind. Mankind wants to bend nature to his will, because someone likes the bright colour or the odd shape of his pet (dog or fish, it is the same). I prefer less people, but aware of the value of every single life, in the aquarium hobby, then a swarm of childish odd fish collectors with a smiling face. Are we willing to sacrifiice respect for life for more money?Andrea Guerra says:

Angelmania is the worst place to buy angelfish online. I mistakingly placed a few orders from Lee several years ago. The angels I received were dead, deformed, stunted and lacking vigor. Some of them had one or no ventral fins. It looked like a bag of culls. As an Amazonas subscriber, I question the validity of any information included in this publication if it endorses Lee from Angelmania! Ask anyone with experience in the angelfish community, and they will tell you to steer clear. I believe Lee stole this idea from a very reputable breeder anyway.Matt Pedersen says:
Chase, GVAC was an exceptional group of folks...seriously...like 40 people on hand at a FW club to hear me talk about SW Fish Breeding in AUGUST? I gotta learn a thing or two from you guys on how to energize a club like that! My thanks to you all for having me!
