Best Practices for Maintaining Zebrafish Breeding Tanks: A Comprehensive Guide

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have become one of the most popular model organisms for genetic, developmental, and behavioral research due to their genetic similarity to humans and their ability to produce hundreds of eggs in a single spawning. This makes them invaluable for research, and with the right environment and care, they can thrive in a breeding tank setting. For anyone [...]

Optimizing Zebrafish Research: How the Right Aquatic Housing Systems Make a Difference

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have emerged as one of the most widely used model organisms in scientific research. Their genetic similarity to humans, rapid development, and transparency during early egg stages make them invaluable in studying genetics, developmental biology, toxicology, and disease modelling. However, the success of zebrafish research is not solely dependent on the organism itself but also heavily relies [...]

How to Choose the Right Aquatic Life Support System for Your Needs

Aquatic life support systems are crucial for maintaining healthy, thriving environments for various species, from exotic fish and coral reefs in home aquariums to delicate marine animals in commercial or research settings. Choosing the right aquatic life support system (ALSS) can seem daunting with so many factors to consider, from filtration requirements and water quality parameters to automation levels and [...]

Common Mistakes in Aquatic System Maintenance and How to Avoid Them

Maintaining a healthy aquatic environment, whether it's a large water feature, or a specialized research setup, requires more than just keeping the water clear; it involves a careful balance of chemistry, temperature, filtration, and consistent care. Mistakes in aquatic system maintenance can lead to issues like unhealthy water conditions, stressed or sick organisms, and eventually a failed system. However, with [...]

Controllers, Pumps, and Metering Pumps Used on Aquatic Research System

Environmentally-oriented research systems form the groundwork for numerous scientific investigations into the life of aquatic organisms. Systems like these are designed with great care to mimic natural conditions of habitat, yet providing the animals with a healthy and safe environment while giving researchers the opportunity to investigate behaviors, physiology, and genetics of the organisms under study. Each is equally important [...]
