Hull Aquatics Fishroom Post 1.3.2021 After 5 months of waiting, our Bulgarian Green Seal Point angelfish have finally started to pair off. We started with 6 quarter sized young that have been housed together in a 30 gallon tank. 2 weeks ago, two were sparring in one end of the tank and 2 days later, laid eggs on a spawning cone. Although this was their first spawn and was fairly small, we do have 50 healthy young growing. If you have never heard of the Bulgarian Green Seal Point, it was originally discovered in 2013 by Raiko and Ilia Slavkov,...

I have had a lot of questions recently on what I feed my fish and how often, so I will cover that today for this weeks blog post. First off, the type of fish dictates what type of food they receive. The age of the fish dictates how many times per day I feed them. The younger the fish, the more times per day they will get fed. Let me start by giving you the basics based on the 3 main types of fish that I raise and sell - Angelfish, Guppies, and Pleco's. Angelfish:My adult and juvenile angelfish receive...
Blue Smokey and Zebra Pair
Posted by Gary Hull on
One of our newer pairs have laid their 2nd batch of eggs. The Male is the PB Smokey and the female is the Zebra. This pair produces 50% Zebra's and 50% Smokey Leopards. Good parent raising pair. As they get older and breed more, their batch of eggs will get bigger each time.
Seahorse Fry Day 6
Posted by Gary Hull on
The Seahorse (Hippocampus Erectus) fry have reached day 6. Out of the original 10 fry, 7 are still alive and doing well. I have posted a pic of a couple swimming around the tank together. These guys need daily water changes and newly hatched brine shrimp several times a day. They are usually a darker color until they get older.
Seahorse Babies!
Posted by Gary Hull on
Just wanted to post a quick comment regarding our large Seahorse. After several failed attempts at mating, we finally have some Seahorse fry swimming around the tank. The picture I have posted for this blog post shows the first attempt at mating and the spilled eggs on the bottom of the tank.The eggs look orange due to the oil that they contain. At this point, there are only 7 or 8 fry but at least they managed to have some this time. I will update the blog post with some pictures in the next day or so. Happy Fishkeeping!
