Fauna #24 : African Red Jewel Cichlid



Common Name: African Red Jewel Cichlid

Scientific Name: Hemichromis bimaculatus

Local Name: red jewel, African red jewel , jewel cichlid

Origin: West Africa

Life Span: 8 years

Temperament: Timid, Semi-aggressive ;Males are more aggressive during breeding season

Tank Compatibility Issue (for both Flora and Fauna): Best kept with plants that provides shade. This is definitely not a community fish. In fact, when they mature, and most especially when they are breeding, there is virtually no other fish that can be in the tank with them

Freshwater/Brackish/Marine: Freshwater

Water pH: 6.5-7.5

Water Hardness: 5-15, soft - acidic

Schooling/Non-schooling: Non-schooling

Common Illness/Problems: Fin rot, eye gouging and fin nipping when the tank is too crowded w/ the similar kind.

Growth: Fast, depends on care

Length/Size: 5 inch in total length

Difficulty: medium

Water Current/Movement Issues:

Description: The jewelfishes from Africa are one of the most beautiful, and most bellicose, of the cichlids. While bimaculatus was the original jewelfish introduced into the hobby many years ago, there are now a number of other species available. They all behave the same and require the same conditions. Being from western Africa, they need softer, more acidic water than the cichlid of the rift lakes in eastern Africa. But their beauty and behavior make it worthwhile to consider keeping a tank just for them.

Other Important Information:
Like most cichlids, the African red jewel tends to be aggressive to other fish and even on the same species as them. To minimize aggression in a community tank, provide multiple hide spots and visual barriers such as small spots and aquatic plants. Differentiating gender esp. of immature specimens can be tricky. Males of many fish species tend to be brighter colored, but this is not the case w/ the jewels. A more reliable way is to compare the color of dorsal and ventral fins as a male has more blue spots. Adult females also has rounded belly as egg follicles develop inside the body.

Fauna # 25: Pandaka trimaculata


COMMON NAME:
Bia, Mitsuboshi (Japan)

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Pandaka trimaculata

LOCAL NAME:
Bia

DIET:
Feeds on tiny aquatic organisms

DISTRIBUTION:
Japan, Philippines, Indonesia and New Guinea.

NOTES:
A close relative to the Pandaka pygmaea (Dwarf pygmy goby) a fish that was once incorrectly declared to be the smallest fish and endemic to the Philippines. The fish aint the smallest and is not endemic to the Philippines as a matter of fact, the pygmaea species is extinct in the Philippines and can now be found in Indonesea.

COMMON NAME:
Unknown

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Ophieleotris sp

LOCAL NAME:
Palawan, Bakulihan, Bangayngay, Buguwan, Buwagan, Dalagan, Dalak, Ipon, Labanag, Paluwon, Papalo, Simawar

DIET:
Predatory but can be trained to eat standard fish foods.

DISTRIBUTION:
Madagascar, Northern Australia, Philippines and Palau.

NOTES:
We weren't so lucky to catch even one during the trek , but I have purchased this species in Manalili and I current have a few at home.

Fauna # 28: Chevron Snakehead, Striped Snakehead, Banded Snakehead and Common Snakehead


COMMON NAME:
Chevron Snakehead, Striped Snakehead, Banded Snakehead and Common Snakehead

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Channa striata

LOCAL NAME:
Anak dalag, Aluan, Amanu, Bakuli, Bulig, Bundaki, Bundalag, Dalag, Dalak, Guelue-guelue, Haluan, Haroan, Lawag, Mudfish, Murrel, Obog, Sulbud, Talosog, Terebog, Torabó, Utan

DIET: Predatory

DISTRIBUTION:
Considered to be the highly introduced Snakehead species not just in Asia but also in the American continent. I didn't bother list the countries cause there's too many.

NOTES:
This fish is less attractive to the Aquarium trade due to it's size, behaviour and color. It ends up in the menu of most Asian restaurants.

Fauna # 29: Asian Walking Catfish or Thai Catfish


COMMON NAME:
Asian Walking Catfish or Thai Catfish

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Clarias batrachus

LOCAL NAME:
Pantat

DIET:
This fish will eat insects, worms and anything that's edible.

DISTRIBUTION:
Native to Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Viet nam and Thailand.

NOTES:
This Catfish species is one of those that can breathe athmospheric air and is a survival artist
that can survive prolonged exposure to dried up rivers and lakes. This species is now being
hybredized by aquaculturist to it's african relative the African Walking Catfish (Clarias gariepinus)
as a result, this species is considered rare to it's original habitat.


Other Introduced species are Tilapias and Wild Guppies.

Fauna # 30: Dalhousie Hardyhead


Our first entry is a fish that is endemic to the Australian Continent. A fish so amazing that it can live in Pools that has a temperature that sometimes reaches almost halfway to the BOILING POINT!!! There are 14 other related species but this one in particular was feartured in BBC's "Wild Australia"



COMMON NAME:
Dalhousie Hardyhead

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Craterocephalus dalhousiensis


HABITAT AND ECOLOGY:

Dalhousie hardyheads occur in the wild at temperatures from 20°C to 40°C (68 to 104°F) and make very brief excursions into water of 41.8°C (107°F). This is the highest recorded voluntary temperature tolerance of any Australian fish and one of the hottest voluntary temperatures that fish have been recorded at anywhere in the world!. They are generally found in the pools and channels in the spring outflows. The minimum dissolved oxygen tolerated is 0.5 mg O2/L. Their diet consists mostly of green filamentous algae but also includes ciliates, ostracods, insects, hydrobiid snails, detritus, and worms


NOTES:

Dalhousie hardyhead is the only member of the genus known to be morphologically sexually dimorphic. Virtually nothing is known of reproduction in the wild. In aquaria they are easily spawned. They probably lay in excess of around 20 eggs a day when temperatures are maintained over 24°C (75°F). Their upper spawning temperature is yet to be investigated. They readily spawn on mops, most spawning activity takes place in the morning. They also readily eat their eggs. At 28°C (83°F) eggs take about 7 days to hatch. Fry are about 5mm (0.2in) TL at hatching. Fry are usually first fed vinegar eels until they are large enough to ingest baby brine shrimp. Fry typically grow slowly in aquaria. It is not known whether they reproduce throughout the year or seasonally under natural conditions.
