Telescopic Fishing
What Kind Of Fish Do You Like In Your Freshwater Aquarium
With the hundreds and hundreds of freshwater aquarium fish varieties to choose from, it can be quite confusing for the new fish enthusiast. The reasons are just as varied. All the fishes come in all the most beautiful shapes and sizes (elongated, round, bulky, tiny, transparent, etc.) and sports some of the most beautiful colors there are.
However, deciding which fish to populate your aquarium needs some careful thought. You will need to know if they can live together well (some eat their neighbors) and if you can keep up with their individual maintenance (food, cleaning, etc.).
You would also need to know if they fit your needs. Some varieties are frisky (they keep on swimming), some are sedate (they are immobile you would think they're dead) and some seldom get out of their hiding places. How do you like your fish?
Putting aside your attraction, choosing your fish for your aquarium also needs some very prudent judgment. Can they get along in the same fish tank or would there be problems and you need to seperate them? Peace in a fish tank often depends on size so if the fish are the same basic size, there is harmony more often - they have to be around the same size. (small fish often become food for the larger fish and that is sometimes unavoidable because of the difference in grownth speeds of the fish.)
Are your fish types balanced? If you have some top and middle-dwelling water citizens, you may adopt some bottom-dwelling inhabitants as well. Every part of the aquarium would then be explored by your little friends
Types
Basically, there are two kinds of freshwater aquarium fish - the livebearers and the egg-layers. The livebearers give birth to a fully-formed young fish. Guppies, platies, mollies and others are good examples of live bearing fish.
The egg-layers are self-explanatory. Their young are hatched from the eggs laid by the parents. The goldfish, angelfish and the neon tetras belong to this group.
The following are just a few of the fish varieties popular with fish lovers around the world. Each one has its own characteristic that endears them to fish owners.
Goldfish
The goldfish (Carassius auratus, a subspecies of the carp) is among the most beautiful freshwater fishes in the world. Their beauty, their color, their characteristics and their unique charms (based on the variety of breed) make them the most in-demand among all the other ornamental fishes.
Among the exotic varieties to choose from are the lionhead, oranda, pearlscale, and the ranchu. Of course, the more common ones like the fantail, the veiltail and the black moor are still some of the best-looking pet goldfishes you can find.
If you go for the fancy types, you can check the celestial (telescope eyes), bubble eyes (see it to believe it), the pom-pom (it sports a pompom) and some others.
Angelfish
These South American beauties (from the rivers of the Amazon, the Orinoco and Essequibo) are the unusually-shaped variety among cichlids. They have round, laterally-pressed bodies, and elongated dorsal and anal fins which makes their swimming movements mesmerizing to some people.
They love to hide among the roots and plants around their habitat. (They are actually ambush predators who hunt smaller fishes and water invertebrates.) Their striped coloration gives them added camouflage.
They are usually into a monogamous relationship and they are highly-developed when it comes to caring for their young.
Neon Tetra
Neon tetras move about in groups and that makes them fascinating to watch. They sport a green opalescent body color which usually glows (like the familiar neon lights) if the aquarium is lighted the right way. Because they are so small compared to other regular aquarium fishes, they can only be kept with other non-aggressive fish groups, preferably around their size, too. (They are usually eaten by the bigger fish.)
Kept in a species tank (and not within a community of other fish species), Neon tetras breed very well.
Guppies
Pet shop owners usually recommend beginning freshwater aquarium hobbyists to start off taking care of guppies first. This fish group is very hardy and can tolerate some harsh water conditions (water changes, sudden temperature variations, etc.)
The male guppies are fancier-looking and more colorful than their female counterparts. Guppies breed well enough and may cause some overcrowding if you're not alert enough.
Swordtail
Like the guppies, swordtails are also easy to care. With a maximum length of 4 inches they tend to look like a bright red sword because of their tailfin that looks like an elongated sword and so they are properly named.
Swordtail males might get aggressive towards each other. This usually happens during breeding season when they compete for the female's attention.
They breed fairly easily, but the female must be removed after the young are around. (They are not fuzzy eaters and are known to eat even young swordtails.You should almost never mix big fish with small fish as the big fish might desire them.
Platies
A close relative to the swordtail, platies come in many colors and can breed just as easily, as long as they have plants to hide for privacy. They are broad-bodied and they are a schooling fish (meaning they go in groups and are seldom alone.)
This schooling fish is a natural in community aquariums. They also eat all kinds of flakes and live foods.
Personal Choices
With the current number of fish species, it is impossible to describe all of them. You may learn to know some of their characteristics from books and the Internet, but a visit to your favorite pet shop can help you pick out your choices.
However, it is good to keep in mind that aside from their differences in beauty, charms and temperament, your fish must also fit your own needs and that of your aquarium. Will they live together well? Can you keep up with the maintenance of each variety?
All things considered, keeping freshwater aquarium fish can give you hours and hours of pleasure just by their presence - their beauty, the way they move about, their individual temperaments and the many other cute little things you will later discover.

Telescopic fishing rod and reel for backpacking?
I want to get my dad a fishing rod for christmas so he can take it backpacking. It needs to be light weight, but fairly sturdy, and it needs to be collapsible so it can fit into a backpack. Can anyone recommend a good rod and reel? Try to keep it under $40
Thanks for you input so far, you guys are helping alot. I am looking for something light weight, as it will most likely have to be carried distances over 7 miles, with all sorts of hunting equipment. Light Weight is a MUST! Thanks again.
1.) Telescopic rods have a tendency to break easily and have next to no durability.
Imagine your dad hiking into a remote area where the fish are abundant and easily caught and his rod or reel breaking.
For this reason alone I would be VERY cautious about purchasing a telescopic rod. The only Telescopic rod I've ever heard of with an "ok" reputation was an Ugly Stik, (and even then the action was a joke!).
Light weight is important when hiking, but if your fishing outfit is too "flimsy" for the rigors of a hike and you arrive at an OUTSTANDING fishing hole with a broken rod.....Whats the point?
In my opinion, you need a decent "pack rod" with a solid reel.
Pack rods break down into 4 pieces and have the durability and action of a one-piece rod.
Here is a suggestion:
1. Eagle Claw Trailmaster 3 Travel Rod- Currently at http://www.cabelas.com for $41.99. This rod has excellent feedback for such an inexpensive rod.
Match the Trailmaster rod with a Mitchell 308 Xe (about $40-$44) and you have a very decent outfit that should be much more reliable than a dirt cheap pack rod outfit or telescopic rod/reel that will break the first time you don't "baby" it.
(I know my suggestion is closer to $90 than $40 but, honestly, there just aren't any good pack-rod combo's (OR even general fishing outfits) in your requested price range! In fishing tackle the old saying,"You get what you pay for" is very applicable.
Here's a couple questions you should ask yourself before spending only $40 on a hiking pack-rod outfit:
Would you buy a car from Walmart for $500?
How long do you think your $500 Walmart car would last?
PS: Bassplayer gets my vote for best answer. Thumbs bro.
