Many of us love a good fish supper, and eating fish is something we can all too easily take for granted. According to the WWF, the average person eats twice as much fish as we did 50 years ago, around 19k. a year. Typically, we rarely spare a thought for where our fish comes from, yet, our seas are overfished. As a result, in order to meet demand, fish farming is becoming more prevalent. In this article we explore the growth and types of fish farming out there, asking is fish farming sustainable?

As the design of my home finally pulled together after months of work, it was finally time to consider those last minute touches which can be so much fun and so frustrating at the same time. When looking for interesting vases in various consignment and thrift shops around Salt Lake, I found a nice large round one, almost a pure sphere, with a lid. I purchased it for $12 and thought it might be a nice unusual shape for my living room coffee table. I got home, set it down, took off the lid, and it hit me. A fish bowl. It looks like a fish bowl. What about a fish instead of flowers? In fact, I thought, it would be more economical since a fish (only $8 for this lovely and brightly colored guy) would cost about the same as one bouquet of flowers, and (hopefully) last quite a bit longer. And they are so much more fun...all that swimming around...all our friends with children have instant baby-sitting as toddlers are completely transfixed. And in my constant nods to the past, it would fit in perfectly. You see, I am not the first to look to the living creature to make a visual impact. Of course birds were long used as fashionable parlor decor, and the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists alike loved a brightly colored bird to coordinate with their surroundings. (above by Frederick Carl Frieseke, an American Impressionist) (above by Jozsef Rippl-Ronai, the Hungarian Expressionist) Henri Matisse with his birds: Probably my favorite bird in late 19th century decor would have to be in Manet's wonderful painting at the Met: In the 1860's fish tanks became all the rage in England, with highly elaborate aquariums to display them in. Often together with flowers and other living things. The 'Fishbowl Fantasy' by Edward Goodes, 1867: In addition to his birds, Matisse also loved fish... And more recently, designer extraordinaire Philippe Starck used fishbowls in his Royalton Hotel design in New York City. I was lucky enough to see this amazing design in person prior to its renovation by Roman and Williams, which is nice, just not nearly as cool as Starck. See all those bowls along the side wall? (You can see them a bit better below on the right side) They all contain one betta fish in bright purple/blue jewel tones to match the carpet. And they swim around behind a mirror placed in the bowls just to make you feel as though you are losing your mind after a few gin and tonics. It really it a bizarre experience watching those fish seemingly disappear from sight and then reappear in the bowl a few seconds later. Bravo Philippe. But my all time favorite use of the living creature as decor would have to be the gilt and jewel encrusted tortoise. While not much discussed these days, since it would seem quite cruel, the jeweled tortoise was quite the popular parlour ornament to the most dandified strata of British and French society in the late 19th and early 20th century. Anyone seen Brideshead Revisited? In addition to the stunning shots of Castle Howard built between 1699 and 1712... ...it also features a jewel-encrusted tortoise! Of course this guy is actually pretty low level, many would have so many jewels affixed to them that they would in fact be rendered almost immobile due to the weight. This, of course, is not something I condone, poor little guys. But it was a different time. These tortoises were allowed to wander through grand mansions, while the gems on their backs would glisten in the candlelight, creating a continual shimmer of colors. French author Joris-Karl Huysmans made the encrusted tortoise infamous in his book Against Nature published in 1884. The book focuses exclusively on the main character who who hates Parisian high society, and only wants to lock himself away with his books and stange, beautiful objects. Here is the illustration from an early printing showing his tortoise: See its glow? Anyhow, I was able to pick out a Betta fish that happened to match my decor just perfectly. All the coral/pink/reds I had scattered around tied in perfectly with little Maxentius. Yes, I named him after a Roman Emperor. Why not? He is quite regal, isn't he? Of course there are some more unusal type of bowls available these days...the fish condo by Teddy Luong Or this cool melding of many bowls by Vanessa Mitrani: But at the end of the day, I do like the classic round bowl. Do you have any color coordinated pets? Next week I will give you a tour of a NYC apartment I renovated last year....hope to see you then!

Fish can live for a longer time compared to other pets, if taken care properly. Beginners can have a lot of queries on how to take care of a fish. In this post are mentioned facts and tips for tasks starting from setting up a tank for your fish to the installation of other accessories in your tank. Before buying your fish, research on the type of fish you prefer. Collect all the information you can about the fish you are going to buy. Every breed of fish requires a different environment to live in. Buy the tank considering the size of the fish and how big it can get, as well as preplanned your tank for bringing more fishes into the tank. When buying the fish, make sure that it is healthy one. They should not display any signs or symptoms of being ill such as cloudy eyes or slim looking bodies. Inquire about the water temperature and quality as of the main tank of the pet store. Keep the new freshwater fish in the quarantined water tank for a while. Let them stay there till around two to three weeks before you shift them to a new tank environment. Keep the tank away from the windows, doors or any source that heats up. If this is not done, your tank can have drafts and the water temperature might change and affect your fish. Check the water quality regularly for the ammonia, nitrite and pH levels. Such imbalances could cause sickness in your fish. You can also add an automatic filter in your tank that would balance and clean the tank every ten days. These freshwater fish care kits can be purchased from the pet store from where you bought your fish. Feed your fish with the already prepared fish food available in the market. Store the fish food in a cool and dry place and check for the expiry date on the package. With the help of a net, remove the uneaten food everyday. Also clean your net thoroughly before and after you put it into the water to avoid the spread of a possible infection. Place a canopy or hood over the tank so that nothing can fall into the water and spoil it. This is done also to avoid the jumping fish falling out of the tank. While installing accessories for the freshwater tank, keep in mind that the water conditions should not be made poor by drastic lighting, inside or outside the tank. These lights could lower the resistance of your freshwater fishes to disease.
Aquariums are like tiny little windows to the wonders of the ocean. Yeah, sure, you might not get to keep those deep ocean fishes that look like they’re straight from a horror movie, but, after all, having an aquarium isn’t about that - it’s about befriending tiny little colorful fishes, creating the most wondrous environment for them, and most importantly, relaxing while watching them go about their business in your well-maintained fish tank.
