How To Care For Your Fishes Without Spending A Fortune
Whether you have a big sized aquarium with lots of fishes or just a glass bowl on your table with a couple of Gold fishes, they give you great pleasure and tranquility to see them.Fishes are most soothing pets, but they can be real delicate too. However you can take a good care for your fishes by remembering some small tips.Whether you are out for a couple of days, your fishes will be there waiting for you when you come back. Here are some tips to keep your fishes healthy.1) Cleaning your aquarium or tankYour fish survives in the water of your tank or your aquarium. Not only they eat in it but also the water gradually accumulates the bio-waste from our fishes and gravel.So it makes a god sense to clean the aquarium and change the water once a week. Do not change the entire water immediately.
Fishes are sensitive to water temperature and a sudden change may affect them. Collect your fishes in a tub or a plastic bag with some water of your tank or aquarium. Seal the plastic bag and put it safely. Then clean the aquarium and change the water. Put the plastic bag (with the fishes and water) inside the aquarium -without opening it.
Let the temperature of the water inside the plastic bag change gradually to that of the new water in the aquarium. Your fishes will adapt to the new temperature. Then open the plastic bag and release the fishes inside the aquarium.After all a clean aquarium is always more pleasant to look at.2) Cleaning your aquarium's air pumpDirt and gravel often coagulates the air pump making it function less efficiently. Often bio-waste accumulates in the air filter. Consider changing the air filter at least once a month or as mentioned in the air-pump manual3) Feeding your fishes.One big word: Do Not Overfeed your fishes.
Most aquarium fishes die of overfeeding rather then underfeeding. Also leftover foods (usually your fishes will continue eating till they are in real trouble!) contaminate the water, and promote bacteria harmful to the fishes. Feed the fish small amounts, which they can consume in three to five minutes and feed them daily. And if you are going out for a couple of days in the weekend, do not try to feed them an extra quantity on Friday. Your fishes will do well on an empty stomach for a couple of days.
Also it is always better not to ask your helpful neighbor not to feed your fish when you are away for the weekend. The chances are that your over-zealous neighbor will overfeed them (with a good intention, of course!).There is sufficient food in a balanced aquarium to keep fish healthy even though not fed for a day or more..

A Roofing Enigma
For all of those who suffer from the giant ice growth at the eaves in the winter.Ice and Water ShieldThe onset of the ice & water shield usage in the northeast after the great ice storms of the early 90's has brought with it a mentality that has made for the profession a strange enigma. The experience that is forever embedded on the minds of those that dwelled under the massive influx of water resulting from ice dams has caused the mandate of ice and water shield usage in the installation of new roofing systems. This is much like a doctor that treats the symptom, rather than offering a cure. Ventilation is almost always the way to cure such problems. The costliness of doing the job right often involves a redesign of the situation.
Many times, with a little education, more can be done with the proper approach that can afford a lasting roofing system, and a healthier environment for those living inside the dwelling. Visit us at: http://www.fourseasonsroofingandsiding.com The enigma...

Cry of the Polar Bear
Here roam I with my cubs in the Arcticfeasting on seals by ice packsaway from human predators.We are content in this harsh worldwith our double furs and blubber,invisible to spying cameras.But now our safety is no more;for we awake and our beloved ice is gone.Marooned on ice packs we famish and expire,because I cannot swim with my pups.And we marvel to behold late winter and early summeras we chance upon unforeseen bodies of water.I do not pity you, man, when the seas eat your land;for did you not turn on the heatthat now melts the ice?Nor do I bewail the walruses, the reindeer, and the caribou.Methink those neighbors of mine will tarry longer.But mourn for me, the perishing polar bear;or write me a book or script me a movie.For soon I will be gone foreverlike dodo the bird or the great dinosaur.And no homo sapient dare trace the remainsof "Ursus maritimus"?the king of the north!(EXCERPTED FROM "BEAUTIFUL," A POETRY COLLECTION BY ARTHUR ZULU, TO BE PUBLISHED SOON.
