ROCK 09

Experience the thrill of hanging off a rope high above the ground, or forget the rope and just participate in some rock climbing. The East Kimberley has some of Western Australia's best rock climbing and abseiling locations so if this form of hair raising activity is for you, contact the Kununurra Visitor Centre and let us organise a professional guide to get you out there onto the rock face.

Chromis may also suffer harassment from other Chromis in the aquarium. In schools, Chromis often adopt a pecking order where the smallest of the group may become tormented to death. Thus the schooling issue is the subject of much debate and concern. It is often recommended that groups of Chromis be kept in schools of no less than 6, as the pecking behavior is more broadly dispensed among the smaller members. However, aquarists have found that pairs and sometimes trios can be grouped successfully without pecking order issues.

The Blue-Green Reef Chromis is by nature a gregarious fish, but in many instances is known to do well solitarily. Chromis are active swimmers and will occupy the middle to upper levels of the water column. They are non-territorial and curious fish that will explore the entire area of the tank and may repeatedly make the mistake of approaching another fish's territory. In this respect, solitary Chromis may be better suited with less aggressively territorial fish. Chromis do not respond well to harassment, as they are less likely to retaliate. Hiding in dark areas of the tank away from other fish is the first indication of harassment, stress or illness.

n the links on the left you will find our freshwater fish tank beginner guides that will help you with your pet fish along the way. Hopefully, the aquarium beginner guides will help you learn the basics. For example, we hope you'll learn that you need to do some research before buying fish. Doing research before you purchase your fish will prevent you from doing really short sighted things, such as trying to stuff a pacu fish into a 10 gallon fish tank, cramping a goldfish into a small bowl, putting big fish into a small tank, putting small fish in with larger more aggressive species or putting multiple male betta fish in the same fish tank! These are obviously things we want to avoid and hopefully we can help get you going on the right track.

Aquarium fish keeping has a long history and has been a relaxing hobby for centuries. The ancient Chinese (Song Dynasty) is the first civilization thought to have kept aquarium fish for ornamental purposes. Even earlier than the Chinese though, civilizations were keeping plenty of fish in various types of holding containers for food purposes. We've come along way since then and hopefully we can help others enjoy this great hobby.

Sea cucumbers have an amazing ability to live for many months without feeding. Over time, they slowly shrink as they digest their own body mass to survive. All going well (and on a regular diet!), these creatures can live for up to 10 years.
