Electric Green to be First Livestock Addition to Betta Portfolio

GloFish®LLC is welcoming a new species to its ever-expanding family of fluorescent fish with GloFish® Betta. The Electric Green® GloFish® Betta species is the first to debut within the betta category, introducing GloFish® to a new audience, and will be available alongside a unique array of kits, species-specific food, water care and décor.

GloFish® Bettas offer a unique addition to the world of betta fish. While nearly identical in behavior to traditional domesticated bettas, GloFish® Bettas produce a fluorescent protein that allows them to fluoresce under blue LED lights. And under white LED lights, their color is just as striking.

The Electric Green® GloFish® Betta livestock portfolio is comprised of:

  • Premium Male Betta – Full-grown male betta with impressive fins

  • Standard Male Betta – Young male with potential for fins to mature throughout its lifespan

  • Female Betta – As colorful as GloFish® male bettas, females are less aggressive than their male counterparts and can be kept with other female bettas, GloFish® Tetras, Barbs, Danios and Sharks as well as other tropical fish.

"Over the last several years, we have seen the popularity of GloFish® grow, and we are thrilled to add to our livestock portfolio and introduce GloFish® Bettas to the market, bringing the brand to an entirely new audience," said Eric Kenney, Vice President, Marketing & Product Development at Spectrum Brands Global Pet Care Division. "Aside from offering eye-catching color hues, with more to come down the road, GloFish® Bettas are easy to care for and fascinating to watch, making them an exciting addition to our portfolio."

In addition to the livestock offerings, the brand is also introducing an assortment of products to elevate the aquatic experience, including 1.5 and 3 gallon Betta Aquarium Kits, Betta Flakes, Betta Water Conditioner and Betta Water Balance – with additional launches, including plants and other aquarium décor, later this year.

'I always thought it sold tropical fish': Your reaction to the mystery of Moira's wet fish shop - Coventry Telegraph

Posted: 03 Feb 2020 06:10 AM PST

Moira's wet fish shop is a Coventry landmark that has been shrouded in mystery.

It was a busy and popular fishmongers, but closed suddenly in the the mid 1990s leaving many wondering what happened to Moira.

Thanks to the help of local people and CoventryLive readers, we were able to meet Moira's family, who helped us understand the remarkable woman behind the counter.

The story sparked some great memories for readers, many of whom shared what Moira's wet fish shop meant to them. You can remind yourself of the story by clicking here

And it also brought up the even further back history of the shop - read on for more.

What you had to say

Here are just some of the memories you shared after reading the story:

On our Facebook page, Brian J Vines wrote: "I used to work around the corner from there from 96-2001 I always thought it was an old fish shop supplies as in tropical fish."

Addressing Moira's sister Sheelagh, who contributed to our article, Jayne Norton wrote: "What a fantastic story I bet you and your family are so proud of Moira Sheila...I loved reading about her."

Moira's shortly after the shop closed and before the renovation took place of all the buildings the Upper Spon Street row

We wrote about how local people had always wondered what went on behind that emerald green door, and some of you agreed.

Michelle Moore said: "Thank you for this story, I've always wondered about the history of this old shop. Moira sounded like a lovely lady."

Adele Louise added: "This place has always fascinated me, we also have a mention in the article!"

Patricia McAree also said: "I always thought the story of the shop was hundreds of years old, it was only the nineties."

Sammy Jane Kennedy wrote : "Good memories."

Others tagged in members of Moira's extended family, with Lucy Maddocks tagging in Carrie Fulford saying: "No denying the gene! Beautiful."

Moira's father Jack worked in some of Coventry's biggest factories, and for some it was a welcome reminder of days gone by.

Raef Boylan wrote: "And a mention of Coventry Eagle! My push-bike in me teens was a Coventry Eagle."

On Twitter Richard Ledbrook wrote: "Fascinating, I used that shop when I lived in Spon Gate house mid 1980s."

Mary Reeve emailed us with some further history on the place, detailing what the building was before it became Moira's.

"I have memories of the shop long before it became Moira's wet fish shop. It belonged to my grandmother's sister (I called her aunty Flo) who ran it as a greengrocers along with her daughter & son in law (Rosa & Eddie Lewin)."

Mary went on to say: "It would be nice for people to know that it had a history as a thriving greengrocers prior to what many remember it to be now. In the days when there were no flats at all on Spon End estate (I remember watching them being built & there being a large explosion when a gas cylinder blew up) Coventry's Ring Road was not even thought of."

The response we got shows how key Moira's (and the shops before) were to the community, and from Mary Reeve's comments there is still much more to the story. We look forward to finding out more about this historic part of Coventry.

If you have memories of Moira's wet fish shop or any of the listed buildings from that row of houses, get in touch with our community reporter Naomi: naomi.desouza@reachplc.com

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
