Salt Water Fish For Beginners

I used to have a salt water tank a couple of years back but it is to hard to maintain so I just gave up. There are some fish you should stay away from as a beginner. First of all don't by anything expensive as your first fish , secondly don't buy any fish which are extremely aggressive towards other fish and the ocean does hold a lot of these like: Els,Stonefishe,Angelfish, Sharks etc. A good fish for starters would be a Yellow tailed Damsels. The Damsels are aggressive in a way but they are the best fish to start with. They will out stand harsh conditions and they are cheap. The will handle other aggressive fish but if you want to move on you should consider replacing them.

How Many Fish Can I Fit In An Average Fish Tank?

Depending on the size of the fish, you can fit anywhere between 10 to 20 fishes.

A general rule of thumb is to have 1 cm of fish for every 1 litre of water in the tank. If you have 100 litres of water you can have 10 fish of length 10cm, 20 fish of 5cm etc.

Make sure that water is clean.Do not over-feed the fish, when changing water always not more then 20% of the volume of the tank do not over feed.

Lobster Lovers:Why Is It That Lobster Is So Expensive?

Well one reason that lobsters are so expensive is that they do not reach marketable size very quickly. It takes a lobster 5 – 8 years to weigh a pound, another good reason is that lobster is caught in traps which need a harvest , therefore it takes more time.

Lobsters are rarely grown commercially in fish farms. So almost all the harvest comes from the wild. The leading harvesters are in Maine, Australia and New Zealand.The quantity of lobster has been decreased in last years due to overfishing, yet the demand is in the increase.

So, to sum it up in economic terms: low supply and high demand has a pricey result..

How Much Can A Used Fishing Rod Lift?

Generally speaking , the length of the used fishing rod that you bought should give you a good approximation of the weight that you can lift with it.

Here are some relevant paragraphs from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_pole

Each rod is sized to a particular weight of line: larger and heavier line sizes will cast heavier, larger flies. Fly rods come in a wide variety of line sizes, from size #0 rods for the smallest freshwater trout and panfish up to and including #16 rods[1] for large saltwater gamefish. Fly rods tend to have a single, large-diameter line guide (called a stripping guide), with a number of smaller looped guides (aka snake guides) spaced along the rod to help control the movement of the relatively thick fly line. To prevent interference with casting movements, most fly rods usually have little or no butt section (handle) extending below the fishing reel. However, the spey rod, a fly rod with an elongated rear handle, is often used for fishing either large rivers for salmon and steelhead or saltwater surf casting, using a two-handed casting technique. See Fly fishing.

Ultra-light spinning and casting rods are generally shorter (4 - 5.5 feet is common) lighter, and more limber than normal rods. Tip actions vary from slow to fast, depending upon intended use. These rods usually carry 1 to 6 pound (4.5 to 27 N) test fishing line. Some ultra-light rods are capable of casting lures as light as 1/64th of an ounce - typically small spinners, wet flies, crappie jigs, tubes, or bait such as trout worms. Originally produced to bring more excitement to the sport, ultra-light spin fishing is now widely used for crappie, trout, bass, bluegill and other types of panfish.

Trick the Roach first before he tricks you.

The Roach was second fish i caught and it definitely grabbed my attention.
The Roaches have tricky behavior - they are gaming fish and like to play with bait.
Everytime they played with bait i thought it was just wind
and waves.
But later when float stopped trembling i pulled it out of water and discovered that my bait wasn't on hook anymore.

It didn't take me long to realize that the bait was actually stolen.
The Roach pushes and teases your bait so it can no longer be attached tightly to your hook and when you pull it out of water the bait slides away from it.

So if you catch Roach for the first time,it is important to:

1. Retain calmness.
2. Wait for right timing to pull (approximately 3-4 seconds).
3. Do not apply force.Pull not too fast.

The Roach's favorite snack is dough and pastry.
But when they are hungry they will eat worms also.
