Hagen launches Fluval Chi lifestyle nano - Practical Fishkeeping

Pet and aquatics company Hagen have launched a new nano aquarium at Germany's Interzoo pet trade show.

The brand new Fluval Chi 'lifestyle' aquarium was displayed in two sizes - 19 and 25 litres in volume. The tanks are taller than they are long and wide but much more unique are their other design features.

They are open topped and rimless but also have a filter/light/waterfeature all built into one, that clips onto the tank rim. Lighting is LED and what's more it is submerged under the waterline.

On the 25 litre model lighting is also said to be remote control.

The packaging features three goldfish, but this aquarium is much smaller than we would recommend for such fish. (Hagen UK has told Practical Fishkeeping that it intends to produce new packaging for the UK market).

"The Fluval Chi delivers an appealing aquarium making the ordinary truly extraordinary," it states on the packaging. "Extraordinary design inspired by authentic aquatic tradition."

"Our Fluval Chi (pronounced "tchee" goes far beyond conventional aquariums. It allows self expression and infuses itself into everything by creating harmonious environment.

"Inspired by the classical Chi from the Chinese culture as an active principal forming part of any living thing.

"Chi is a form of energy that symbolises life, health and prosperity and everything that is positive to us.

"With flowing waters and illumination the Fluval Chi set within the living or working environment will maximise the life quality of those who inhabit these spaces.

"Equipped with safe low voltage LED lighting and power filtration, the Fluval Chi brings energy to our home or office space."

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

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.
