    Pike Cichlids: Nature's Toothy Torpedoes

    Pike cichlids are a great example of true predatory fish that can be kept in home aquariums. They range in size from 2-20″ approximately, and are widely distributed across the Amazon River basin. They enjoy warm water, lurking in the shadows, and devouring anything that might fit in their mouths. They make wonderful aquarium pets in thoughtfully planned tanks! In this episode, we discuss the new taxonomic shakeup in the world of pike cichlids, as well as species profiles, and how to keep them!   Join the discussion on the Water Colors Aquarium Gallery Podcast Listeners Facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/788428861825086/   Enjoying the show?

    Saltwater Pufferfish

    It’s hard not to love pufferfish. They have many great qualities that can make them an excellent candidate for a truly interactive pet fish. They also, unfortunately, have a “bite first, ask questions later” tendency that other fish and corals don’t really like. In this episode, we discuss a variety of saltwater puffer species that are available in the aquarium hobby, as well as care requirements, tank mates, reef-safeness, and more!   Join the discussion on the Water Colors Aquarium Gallery Podcast Listeners Facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/788428861825086/   Enjoying the show?

    Goldfish: Are They Worth the Risks?

    In this controversial episode, the Water Colors team is joined by invasive species specialist Dr. Alisha Davidson to discuss the very real consequences of goldfish in our waterways. Goldfish certainly are the aquarium hobby darling. Nearly every aquarist has kept them at some point, and unfortunately, the aquarium industry is at fault for their presence in Michigan’s water ways. With the help of Alisha, this discussion covers not only the impacts of invasive goldfish, but also some fascinating research going into the monitoring, prevention, and removal of invasive species in the Great Lakes and connected waterways.   Join the discussion on the Water Colors Aquarium Gallery Podcast Listeners Facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/788428861825086/   Enjoying the show?

    Freshwater Pufferfish

    Everyone loves pufferfish! They are well known for their boisterous behaviors, curious personalities, and silly googly eyes. They come in a wide range of sizes and temperaments, but are often tough to fit into many existing aquariums due to their “bite first, ask questions later” mentality. In this episode, we discuss a variety of species; including their size, care, and compatibility. From puny pea puffers to monstrous mbu, there’s bound to be a puffer you’ll fall in love with.   Join the discussion on the Water Colors Aquarium Gallery Podcast Listeners Facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/788428861825086/   Enjoying the show?

    Centropyge and Allies

    This episode covers the genus centropyge, as well as some new taxonomic breakthroughs that have rewritten how we classify marine angelfish. Many of the species that we once knew as centropyge are now split into a handful of new genera, as well as some unclassified complexes. Join us as we struggle through the taxonomic nightmare that is marine angelfish.
