Cities and counties oftentimes flush systems with extra chlorine and ammonia before and after heavy storms. Check your water before doing water changes for at least a week after them, and dose extra conditioners. Ideally, do not make any water changes until the week after.
Hello to all! Welcome back to FOTW! Today we are looking at the crazy Leafy Seadragon (Phycodurus eques)! #33
The Leafy Sea Dragon is a close relative of the seahorse and is native to the cooler rocky reefs off the southern and western coasts of Australia. With its leaf-like fins and frilly appendages, the Leafy Sea Dragon is perfectly camouflaged among seaweed and seagrass beds, making it difficult to spot. They are born at around 0.8 inches (20 mm) and within a year can grow up to 7.9 inches (20 cm). They reach maturity within two years.
The Leafy Sea Dragon uses the fins along the sides of its head to steer and turn, but its outer skin is fairly rigid, limiting its mobility. They have been observed remaining in one location for extended periods of time (up to 68 hours), but they can also move for lengthy periods. The tracking of one individual indicated it moved at up to 150 m (490 ft) per hour. They are typically solitary creatures, and when the time comes, males court the females; they then pair up to breed.
Unfortunately, the species is considered near threatened and at risk of extinction due to human activities such as pollution, overfishing, and loss of habitat. Continued conservation efforts are needed to protect this unique and fascinating creature.
Hi everyone!
I have a very special announcement to make; this is not only our 1-year anniversary but also a celebration of reaching 2,000 members! Like always, we truly couldn't be where we are today without each and every one of you!
Last year, FishWiki was nothing more than an idea and a dream, but after a whole year, that idea has turned into something great! A thriving 2k+ community, a FishWiki-verified bot, a website, and so much more!
We can't thank each and every one of you enough for the time you all have taken to put into this community, and we promise this coming year will be even better than the first!
