Aquarium
Author: William R. Nabaza of http://www.Nabaza.com/pets.htm
An aquarium is made of glass or extremely strong plastic and is
basically made for holding fish, amphibians or any other type of
marine animal. These fish can be tropical or salt water, or even
corals but the aquarium has to be able to maintain the weight of
the water that will be put into the tank. Aquariums are fast
becoming one of the leading hobbies around, many people use
aquariums for decorative purposes.
Aquariums range in size, they can be simple gold fish bowls or
they can be intensive set up reaching something like eight or
even nine feet wide. Many people even boast of a fish room. Fish
collecting has been around for years and is especially popular
in countries like Japan. The Japanese are renowned for keeping
coldwater fish such as koi in extremely decorative ponds
outside, these koi are basically beautifully decorated goldfish.
The word aquarium originates from the ancient Latin language,
"aqua" meaning water and the suffix "rium" meaning place or
building. Aquariums are beautiful and look good anywhere! They
are perfect for those people who want to devote a lot of time
and effort to a hobby. This is not the type of thing that you
can just start and leave. This is an on going type of project
that needs to be constantly assessed and adjusted. The animals
inside the aquarium need to be fed, need to have the aquarium
represent their natural habitat and need space, so you have to
get a large enough aquarium to fit the animal or animals of
course!
Aquariums are stunning pieces of equipment but they do need a
lot of work and attention . That's why this hobby is not for
young people. It is more of an older person's hobby who is going
to be willing and responsible enough for all the things that are
required when setting up and maintaining an aquarium. They can
be the most beautiful thing to look at if they are decorated
nicely enough, and I'm sure that you will do a great job in
making sure that the aquarium looks just like the creature
natural habitat, this is what makes the animal settle quicker!
Just make sure that you are prepared to take on the
responsibility before investing in an aquarium as they are also
quite expensive!

When Lizards will not eat, they have to eat. |
|
Like any animal, lizards at times in captivity will need to be
force fed. There are situations and conditions which will result
in a lizard not eating on their own.
Some diseases lizards can get will result in
seizures, or a similar condition. It is imperative not to feed
them during an incident like this. They will most likely not be
able to swallow the food. It is best to seek the help of a
veterinarian at this point. The animal will need to have a tube
placed into their stomach to feed. If the animal shows no signs
of seizures, they can be fed using a syringe. It is tricky to
get their mouth open, but should be possible using the syringe
itself.
Using the syringe, squeeze the processed food into the back of
the throat, taking great care to avoid the trachea at the back
of the tongue. Make sure to only offer as much food as the
animal can handle. Larger lizards can obviously handle
more food. It may also be possible to force-feed feeder insects.
