Effective November 1 of this year Red Sea USA will allow local fish stores to submit their orders for Red Seas's popular line of all-in-one-aquariums directly to Red Sea. In the past stores would submit their orders to their favorite distributor with the distributor then sending the shipment to the store. However, because of the current imbalance of the supply chain Red Sea is trying to get more tanks to customers. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter176 Jeremy- Poma Labs founder, Dr. Matthew L. Wittenrich, says, I have been obsessed with Maze Angels from before I could ever afford one. The opportunity to breed them and their close relatives to see what falls out has been too tempting not to try. It has taken a while to assemble the breeders, but we have been busy. We have bred and have juveniles of: Maze x Maze Maze x Blue Phantom Blue Phantom x Blueline Blueline x Blue Phantom Blueline x Maze Experimental breeding, and investigating the outcome of these many similar crosses might yield further clues as to the origins of the Maze Angelfish while also producing new varieties for the aquarium trade. Both new hybrids will become available in the next week, with the anticipated average retail price being around $1,000 per 2-inch fish, although certain individuals and other sizes may carry different pricing. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy176 Main Topic: Science Ahead a discussion on the new ideologies behind nitrification.

Marine scientists are using underwater speakers to pump out the sound of a potential breakthrough. The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) is in a race against climate change, with bleaching, cyclones and crown-of-thorns outbreaks threatening reefs. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter175 Jeremy- Linking the Next Generation to Aquaculture Science - To say that teachers faced a challenging two-years while pivoting to protect their students during a pandemic while innovating new educational models to keep them engaged and learning is an understatement. But the Marine Science Magnet High School (MSMHS, Groton, CT) accepted the challenge head-on. In partnership with Mystic Aquarium and the support of Connecticut Sea Grant, MSMHS Aquaculture Teacher Eric Litvinoff conceptualized and delivered an innovative model to keep his kids' hands wet while learning about aquatic husbandry in a hybrid teaching model. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy175 Main Topic: Perhaps another episode series in the making, today we're going over some of the things that we have dealt with in the past or may have to deal with in the future that can definitely be a real annoyance.

The new fish is a longfin version of the very popular Snow Storm Clownfish. As Manny aquarists know, longfin clownfish are not new to the hobby, but Sea & Reef's new Longfin Clownfish have a much different look to them. Their longfin clownfish have long flowing fins with a rounded, more even outlines. This sets them apart from the typical longfin strain that display jagged, stiff fins with uneven edges that are often observed. Marine Biologist, Soren Hansen, observed with great excitement the very first batch of Longfin Mocha Storm Clownfish as they went through metamorphosis and grew their beautiful, even-edged fins. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy169 Main Topic: EPMD no wait it's AEFW but we are Strictly Business with the info in this episode and the plans we have for treating these no-nonsense pests. Coral aquaculture is ever increasing around the world for reef restoration and the hobby. The effort to minimize the impact of coral predators, pathogens and parasites is necessary for optimal growth. We are going to discuss the Acropora coral-eating polyclad flatworm (AEFW), which feeds on wild and cultivated Acropora species. Recent studies have found the presence of AEFW in wild Acropora colonies, new studies are taking place on the possible affects. The inadvertent introduction of this pest into our reef tanks can lead to the rapid death of coral colonies. We will discuss treatment of infested corals, the flatworm's life cycle, how to disrupt said life cycle, and how temperature can affect your treatment plan. We have outlined a few plans that can help. It is good amount of work but it is worth it to save your Acros!

The Whitetail Reeffish was in the ocean all along, but it took genetic research to uncover its true identity. https://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy168 Peter- The Torq G2 is the newest modular media reactor from Nyos, bringing a wealth of useful new improvements.

The broodstock pairing attempts started in 2017 with one successful pair, then additional potential broodfish were obtained in 2018. Currently, there are four bonded pairs of copperband butterflyfish at IRREC. One pair (henceforth referred to as Pair A), consisting of the largest-sized individuals, is spawning consistently. Another pair has spawned a few infertile eggs but is not consistently spawning yet. Two other pairs may not be sexually mature yet. There is still a long way to go but the very large numbers of eggs laid (upwards of 50k) and fair fertilization rate (up to 35%) actually make these a viable option in the near future. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy164 Peter- A Lego Reef?? In a makeshift saltwater nursery located on an offshore Singapore island, a vital scientific experiment is taking place involving corals and sea invertebrates and Lego bricks. We needed to create flat and stable surfaces for the animals to rest on, explained Neo Mei Lin, a leading marine biologist and senior research fellow from the National University of Singapore's Tropical Marine Science Institute. Detachable Lego bricks proved very useful in helping us to hold corals and giant clams in place. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter164 Remy's Bahama Llama Tip of the Week: Spring Purge Main Topic: Hawaiian Fish Ban what does it mean for us?

While most of what we know is extrapolated from aquacultured species, we can still utilize some basic life history from herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores to make food that will be beneficial for them. The nutrition basics can easily be applied to understanding how to read a fish food label and determine what foods are better for your fish.
