Fish in the News from Nevin in San Diego Seeing Blue: Fish Vision Discovery Makes Waves In Evolutionary Biology http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091016121827.htm   Deep-Sea Microorganisms may help Explain Nitrogen Mystery http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091016094047.htm           A new Mbuna Cichlid named Friedrick. Friedrick just arrived from a famous fish farm. He is Labeotropheus fuelleborni. Friedrick Fuelleborn was a German/Polish medical doctor, who lived in East Africa in the early part of the 20th century. The Fuelleborni species was named after his last name, and Friedrick was named after his first name. Most Fuelleborni males are blue with some orange markings, but Friedrick is mottled with spots. Sometimes this sort of male is called a Marmalade Cat. Tom already loves him a lot.       Above: A New Fish Named Marakeli Marakeli is a mature male Paratilapia polleni. His ancestors lived in northern Madagascar, a large island near the east coast of Africa. Marakeli was born on a famous fish farm and now lives in Tom's basement.               Another New Fish, a Firefish Peacock On Friday Nevin brought Tom over two new fish to photograph. The fish shown just above is a member of the genus Aulonocara, which is the scientific name of a group of fish from Lake Malawi. Aquarists sometimes call fish in this genus Peacocks or Malawi Peacocks. There are lots of different Peacocks in Lake Malawi. This kind is called a Firefish Peacock, and this particular Firefish is a mature male that was born and raised on a fish farm for someone's aquarium, like Tom's.           Yet another New Fish A mature male Aulonocara jacobfreibergi. This is another Malawi Peacock species, which is often called a Lemon Jake by aquarists.     Callers during this Show Roger from Friendswood, Texas, calls, says he's been listening since the beginning of Pet Fish Talk, but he works days and usually cannot call during the show. Today he was off and had a chance to call. He mentioned that his 29 and 55-gallon aquariums seem to cloud up temporarily after he gives them a partial water change. Henry from Switzerland calls and talks about feeding fish. Remember Henry once admitted on Pet Fish Talk that he has tested fish foods by eating them. So he has some unique insight into fish food!!
