Tropical Fish - Help needed!!
Well after a few months of thinking I have gone and brought myself a tropical fish tank and of course some fish.

I was wondering if anyone else has got one and if so any useful tips that you could give me e.g. ideal water temp etc

Any help from the good folk of bbs would be great

How can a creature that has a memory measured in seconds, get lonely?

Get a little gnome to sit on the edge of the tank, with his rod (oo-er) dipped into the water. They will feel right at home

Dr Phil Gee from the University of Plymouth

Dr Gee said:"Scientists have known for a long time that fish - even goldfish - have more than a three-second memory. In fact research has shown that fish have a memory span of at least three months.

"Research has also shown that fish can learn to distinguish between different shapes, colours and sounds. They can even learn that pressing a lever will dispense food at certain times of the day.

"The potential value of this to fish farmers has been explored in a number of studies. For example, researchers have trained commercially valuable species such as trout and cod to swim to a feeding station when they hear a certain tone, even when they are released into open water. This 'ranch recalling' allows the fish farmer to feed and monitor the condition of the stock, and ultimately harvest them, without using cages. It has the potential to reduce or eliminate many of the problems associated with the crowded conditions of traditional aquaculture."
