Carassius auratus Comet Sarasa

The hard winter 2009/2010 is finally ending. Like the brillant colors of daffodils
and primulas enjoy the tired eyes of the gardener after all the grey of winter
season, the different varieties of goldfish enjoy the owner of the garden pond.
Comets are goldfish with normal body shape, in which all fins with the exception of
the dorsal fin are prolonged. They are completely winter frost-resistant and reach a
length of around 30 cm. Sarasa is the term used for all red-and-white goldfish
despite of their bodyshape.

Please keep in mind that it is not recommended to put newly bought goldfish directly
in the garden pond. A quarantine period of 4-6 weeks is necessary to minimize the
danger of introducing diseases. During that time the new fish should be kept in
original pond water, but in an aquarium or another type of tank. So the new goldfish
can adopt to the parasites already present in the garden pond on the one hand and on
the other hand parasites and diseases that may break out during the quarantine can
easily be treated, which is very difficult to do in a garden pond. Due to the low
temperatures in spring the diseases develope only slowly, which is the reason for the
relative long quarantine period recommended.
For our customers: the fish have code 808502 on our stocklist. Please note that we
exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
Lexicon: Carassius: after a vernacular name of a fish in ancient Greek. auratus:
Latin, means "golden".

Boehlkea fredcochui
<http://www.aquariumglaser.de/backend/FCK/UserFiles/Image/News-Pics/2010/kw%2010%2020

As already mentioned on our homepage (see
http://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/archiv.php?news_id=105) it was found that the species
traded under the name of Boehlkea fredcochui for decades in reality represented an
undescribed species, which was named Knodus borki. The species originates from Peru,
but is also available as bred. Maximum size of this tetra is about 5 cm.

The "real" Boehlkea fredcochui, on the other hand, is available only since lately for
our tanks. It also originates from Peru but stays much smaller and reaches a maximum
size of 3.5 cm total length. It is great fun to observe the very lively species,
which likes to be kept in schools. The species is bred in large numbers in Southeast
Asia, so it is readily available for all who are interested in it.

Anabas cf. macrocephalus
<http://www.aquariumglaser.de/backend/FCK/UserFiles/Image/News-Pics/2010/kw%2010%2020
10/anabas%20macrocephalus-g.jpg>
The Climbing Perches (Anabas) are no popular aquarium fish at all. Scientists also do
not work on them and so the systematics of the genus are quite unclear. Members of
the genus can be found all over the tropical and subtropical areas of South and
Southeast Asia. However, it often remains unclear wether the fish occur there
naturally or if they have been introduced by men. For Anabas are, despite their small
size (maximum length is around 20 cm, usually they do not become larger than 10 cm),
popular food fish.
This popularity is founded at least in part by the hardiness of the fish. They belong
to the labyrinth fish and so they have an accessory breathing organ that enables them
to breathe air outside the water over a long time. Additionally they have very hard
scales. Climbing Perches are able to wander over land in wet nights in order to find
new habitats. "Walking" is done by spreading the opercles, which have - an unique
feature of the genus Anabas - a strong serration on their lower border; these
serrations are used like crampons. Along with twiggling movements of the body the
fish "walk" quite quickly on land.
Currently, two species are commonly accepted, namely Anabas testudineus and A.
cobojius, but several others are described. Some of them for sure are good, separate
species. We now were able to import a very pretty Anabas species from Thailand which
has an ivory base coloration, black tiger stripes and a golden hue all over the body.
Anatomical details make it likely that the species name Anabas macrocephalus can be
applied on them, a species described in 1854.
In the aquarium, these pretty Climbing Perches are very lively. They are a bit
robust, but cannot be called aggressiv at all. Conspecifics, large barbs, small
snakeheads, or gouramis of the genus Trichogaster are proper tankmates. The fish feed
on any fishfood available, there should be only plenty of it. Plants are ignored.
For our customers: the fish have code 364203 on our stocklist. Please note that we
exclusively supply the wholesale trade.
Lexicon: Anabas: ancient Greek, means "the climber". testudineus: Latin, means
"turtle-like". cobojius: after a Bengal name for the species. macrocephalus: Latin,
means "with big head". Trichogaster: ancient Greek, means "filamentous belly".
