As reported by the Associated Press: The Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star is scheduled to formally release K-Love the Octopus into the cephalopod’s new tank in a ceremony at the mall on Thursday afternoon. Love will also feed the octopus and give it a special basketball toy, with a group of children sponsored by a local charity for cancer and other life-threatening medical conditions. The Sea Life Aquarium at the Mall of America, Minnesota named their new cephalopod after Kevin Love because of his exceptional rebounding skills. Love is averaging 13.8 rebounds per game this season ... not bad for a two-armed species! View the full article

LED with T5 is the best combination for SPS.

Young coral reef fish use sounds, smells and visual cues to find their nursery grounds, according to new research. By testing how young French grunts (a common fish in Curaçao and throughout the Caribbean) responded to local sounds, smells and visual cues, the researchers have unlocked, for the first time, the mystery of how centimeter-long juvenile fish can navigate from the high seas to find their shoal mates in amongst the roots of mangrove trees or blades of seagrass.

Sirenians, or seacows, are a group of marine mammals that include manatees and dugongs; Today, only one species of seacow is found in each world region. Scientists have discovered that this was not always the case. According to the fossil record of these marine mammals, which dates back 50 million years ago, it was more common to find three, or possibly more, different species of seacows living together at one time.

Click through to see the images. Sustainable (adj.): Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This xkcd.com carton was posted some time ago. It's funny, and as with most xkcd pieces, it's insightful too. It's also highly relevant to the aquarium trade right now. In light of what's happening in Hawaii, I've wanted to share this sketch for several weeks but simply did not know how to frame a blog around it. Then it occurred to me to think of this carton as good pop art that provokes conversation through interpretation. Maybe that's the best way to approach this blog: By having an open discussion about the words we choose when engaging the public and especially the anti-aquarium proponents (whether we should or not is debatable) about the ecological role of the aquarium trade. Sustainable development. Sustainable packaging. Sustainable energy. Sustainable farming. Sustainable design. Sustainable living. Sustainable apparel. Sustainable homes. Sustainable fisheries. Ad naseum Anti-aquarium proponents will often quote aquarists' use of the word sustainable in parentheses in an attempt to devalue the word and ultimately belittle our position. Despite the merit of the word, are we undermining our message when we use it? Does the public understand the context of this word the same way aquarists and scientists do? Has sustainable been so over-and-misused that it now falls on deaf ears? Is our ideas better served with a different word, or are we doomed by the anti-aquarium proponents' dogma no matter what words we choose? It is frustrating that pro-fishery proponents have to parse words so carefully while anti-aquarium proponents miss salient points (possibly on purpose) about a very serious conversation. But semantics is the refuge of a losing argument, and this is what we will continue to face in the court of public opinion. View the full article

Madpetz carry those.

It is not necessary that buying a PBT will keep the cleaner wrasse alive. They need to be feeding prepared foods in a tank before they can be kept alive.

2) Skimz SM251 ( Internal skimmer ) - $ 400.00 ( Pending collection)

you can keep angel fish with SPS coral like myself ? In the wild, the ocean is so big that nipping of the coral here and there wouldn't have any effect but in our enclosed tank it is a different story .

Another nice video

For those large angel fish lover, some video to share. A FOWLR tank can also be impressive and nice !!

More than 99 percent of Antarctic blue whales were killed by commercial whalers during the 20th century, but the first circumpolar genetic study of these critically endangered whales has found a surprisingly high level of diversity among the surviving population of some 2,200 individuals. That may bode well for their future recovery. View the full article

A toxicologist has found that three commonly used herbicides can dramatically reduce butterfly populations. The research was aimed at possible effects on the Lange's metalmark, an endangered species in northern California, but it has implications for other at-risk and endangered butterflies wherever herbicides are used.

Scientists conducting deep-sea research in the Galapagos have described a new species of catshark, Bythaelurus giddingsi. The new shark is approximately a foot long and has a chocolate-brown coloration with pale, irregularly distributed spots on its body. The spotted patterns appear to be unique to each individual.
