Living work of art, consumer commodity, scientific hero and
environmental menace: the humble goldfish is the ultimate human
cultural artefact. A creature of supposedly little memory and short
lifespan, it has universal appeal. In ancient China, goldfish were
saved from predators in acts of religious reverence and selectively
bred for their glittering grace. In the East, they became the
subject of exquisite art, regarded as living flowers that moved,
while in the West, they became ubiquitous residents of the
Victorian parlour. Cheap and eminently available, today they are
bred by the millions for the growing domestic pet market, while
also proving to be important to laboratory studies of perception,
vision and intelligence. In this illuminating homage to the
goldfish, Anna Marie Roos challenges the cultural preconceptions of
a creature often thought to be common and disposable, as she blends
art and science to trace the surprising and intriguing history of
this much-loved animal.

Of all the facets (to put it nicely) of marine aquarium keeping
that turn off hobbyists, likely none surpasses dealing with pest
algae. Normal maintenance of our systems can be a breeze; not
taking much time or physical exercise, given that time in
investigation and proper set-up has been accomplished. However,
run-away algal problems can be proverbial plagues... not only ugly
to even smelly messes, but a root cause of livestock malingering
and loss. The purpose of this book is to share with you how to
avoid pest algae problems; and if they do occur, how to identify
the source/s, the algae themselves and effectively solve (reduce to
eliminate) noisome, unwelcome algae from your tanks. Avoiding Algae
Problems: From the start, I want to impress upon you that while
algae presence to some degree is entirely natural; to be expected
in all systems suitable to support aquatic life; and the situations
where there is an overabundance of undesirable species biomass is
not To put this another way; DO expect some appreciable algae
presence/growth in any/all viable aquatic biological systems; and
DO be aware, observant concerning their over-proliferation in your
aquariums... pro-active in limiting their over-abundance; for
several good reasons: Pest algaes penchant for overgrowing/crowding
out other desired life, using up too much of nutrients and minerals
you may want/need for other chemosynthetic, photosynthetic life;
and importantly; to limit the amount/concentration of metabolites
these algae produce that may mal-affect your livestock; sometimes
profoundly.
