You want to make your new fish feels right at home, which means finding him the perfect tank. Not all fish tanks are the same, so you'll definitely want to do some research before purchasing one. When shopping for the best fish tank, it should be the right size for the kind of fish you have (and how many you have) and should be able to be placed on a flat surface or on an aquarium stand that can hold its weight. We spoke with Mario Musa, a certified aquarist and owner of Epic Aquarium, for more insight on the best fish tanks and what to look for when shopping for one. Here are our top picks: How to find the best fish tank "The size specifications for a fish tank will vary depending on the type of fish you're keeping," Musa told The Dodo. "For example, goldfish require a 20-gallon fish tank (at minimum), while bettas (the most popular fish among home aquarists) need at least 3 gallons." Also keep in mind that saltwater tanks typically need to be larger than

Marco Barrila and Lance Gumbs of Shinnecock Lobster Factory. (Credit: Lee Meyer) Lobster rolls are ubiquitous on the East End. Visit either Fork and you'd be hard-pressed to find a restaurant without some kind of lobster roll on the menu, be it hot or cold.  The Shinnecock Lobster Factory in Southampton, run by chef Marco Barrila of Riverhead's Insatiable Eats and former Shinnecock Nation Chief Lance Gumbs, offers a variety of different lobster rolls and is now sharing them with the greater East End with their new food truck. In developing the Shinnecock Lobster Factory, Gumbs, a seafood lover, wanted to create a business that was authentic to the Shinnecock people. "The [Shinnecock Lobster Factory] was something I'd thought about for quite some time," said Gumbs. "We're people of the shore, and we've always been water-oriented in terms of our food source.

Moments later, it sent back a "beep" and a photo of its landing site to mission control, as if to say, "I made it!" As the InSight team erupted into cheers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, I was dancing right along with them thousands of miles away at my desk.

Tuna are Olympic-caliber fish. They can swim hundreds to thousands of kilometers, some even cross the Pacific Ocean and back. That would seem to make it difficult—if not impossible—to establish a marine reserve large enough to protect them. But a new study shows two kinds of tuna have become much more abundant in a large marine reserve near Hawaii, suggesting they and other long-distance swimmers can be sheltered from overfishing. The new study "shows that we can protect fish and we can eat more of them too," says Darcy Bradley, a conservation scientist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who was not involved. "That hasn't been shown in this way before—this is the first demonstration at a large scale." Marine protected areas safeguard coral reefs and other sensitive habitat or species. Governments establish them after consulting with conservationists, marine industries, and local people. When funding is available, boats patrol smaller areas and p

After diving into the warm sea off the coast of northern Bali, Indonesia, Made Partiana hovers above a bed of coral, holding his breath and scanning for flashes of colour and movement. Key points: Most saltwater fish species are caught wild because of the difficulty breeding in captivity A common illegal fishing technique involves spraying cyanide on coral reefs to stun the fish Fishermen and conservation groups in Bali are working to stop the practice  Hours later, exhausted, he returns to a rocky beach, towing plastic bags filled with his darting, exquisite quarry: Tropical fish of all shades and shapes. Millions of saltwater fish like these are caught in Indonesia and other countries every year to fill ever more elaborate aquariums in living rooms, waiting rooms and restaurants around the world with vivid, otherworldly life. "It's just so much fun to just watch the antics between different varieties of fish," says Jack Siravo, a Rhode Island fish enthusiast wh

Build a gorgeous bogwood aquascape Bogwood is perfect for both cold water and tropical fish tanks. It adds a sense of depth and some unique character to any fish tank. Our range of aquarium decor can help you recreate a natural habitat for the fish within your tank. What is bogwood? Bogwood is a specific type of wood from trees that have been grown in peat bogs and preserved from decay by acidic and anaerobic conditions. It has a particularly distinctive style and colour due to prolonged exposure to the tannins dissolved in the acidic water. Essentially, bogwood is dead wood from a peat bog in the very earliest stages of fossilisation. Why should I buy bogwood? Bogwood is a superb addition to many aquariums. Like normal wood, it offers shelter and hiding places to your fish but it also enriches the water thanks to the tannins held within the wood that will diffuse over time, giving the water a 'tea-stained' appearance. While you may find that your water requires filtr

This is a 2-minute summary of Oakland's Measure S on the November 8, 2022 ballot. If passed, Measure S would allow Oakland's non-citizen parents and legal guardians the right to vote in school board elections. Measure S authors are council members Dan Kalb and Treva Reed. They want to ensure that noncitizen parents' voices are heard and that their children's educational needs are better met through advocacy and given resources. Oakland is demographically diverse. In fact, about 60,000 people in Oakland are non-citizens. Over 13,000 of these parents send their kids to school in Oakland. Let's get into who really likes Oakland's Measure S. It includes Oakland-based organizations like Homies Empowerment, The Unity Council, and Priority Africa Network. Priority Africa Network's Executive Director Nunu Kidane says it's critically important for her community to feel heard and seen as black migrants and to have the option of selecting those who uphold their val

Visitors to the Alabama Safari Park can expect some animal residents to personally greet their human guests. In fact, you'll have many eating out of the palm of your hand – literally. Home to more than 800 animals, the 350-acre wildlife park just south of Montgomery in Hope Hull allows visitors to drive a 3-mile winding gravel road. Visitors can hand-feed some of the free-roaming zebras, llamas, ostriches and other species. "It's very safe, but there are rules that should be followed," said park founder and CEO Eric Mogensen. "For example, you must always remain in your vehicle. You can ride in the bed of a pickup truck, but you absolutely cannot exit your vehicle. We have staff constantly monitoring the park, ensuring everyone follows the rules." For the animals' safety, visitors cannot provide outside food of any kind, but buckets of suitable feed are available for $5 at the gift shop. But with a constant mobile human food delivery service thro

The Predicament Since the COVID-19 pandemic finally started to wane earlier this year, vacation travel has skyrocketed. New Jerseyans — heck, people around the world — are hungry to escape the isolation of social distancing and get back to living life to the fullest. Air travel has been especially impacted by this recent "vacation fever". You have probably seen articles about the incredibly high cost of flying both domestically and internationally. Coupled with staffing shortages, flight schedules are stretched thin and seat availability is at a minimum. But there is another big problem. One that hits your wallet even before you can fight your way through the TSA line. Getting to the airport.
