Fish Breeding
Egglaying and livebearing are the two strategies exercised by fish. As what their names suggest, egglaying fish lays eggs rather than giving birth to a little look-alike of an adult fish as what livebearing fish does.

How is atropine used in ophthalmology?
Atropine is used in ophthalmology as well when the measurement of eye refractive errors (i.e., cyclopegia) is required, due to its papillary dilation properties.
In addition, as it would not allow me to type any further, eggs have been laid by the female salvini central America cichlid, but as stated no male exists in tank of that area, other tank mates include mouthbrooders such as frontosa, peacock cichlids, and mbuna's all from south Africa, so I am curious if there is any possiblity that these eggs are fertile, as I have many breeding pair, but the female that has laid these eggs is the only egg layer in the tank and has no mate of same genre, any ideas if eggs could be fertilized by a mouthbrooding cichlid such as the tankmates from south Africa?
What does it mean if neon tetras have lumps underneath them?
It could be a disease. Note where the lumps are and what they look like. Are there any sores? white spots? What does it's eyes look like? Are the fish acting peculiar? Observe the fish for a short while and notice what it looks like and what it is doing. You can go to where you bought your fish and they should be able to give you an idea or even tell you what might be wrong.
Is a Golden Rainbow Trout an albino?
No, it is not an albino. An albino by definition is a "an animal or plant with a marked deficiency in pigmentation". The fact that these trout have pigment means they are not ablino.
What they actually are called is "Palomino Rainbow Trout". The Golden Rainbow Trout originated from a single Rainbow Trout that was spawned in the fall of 1954 in West Virginia. This trout's body color was a chimera of golden and normally pigmented tissue. When this fish was crossed with a normally pigmented Rainbow Trout, the offspring (what we have come to refer to as Palomino Rainbow Trout) were lighter in color.
I caught one this past Saturday here in Oklahoma.

There are a couple of fish that look like they kiss, but cichlids are aggressive little beasts : D what is actually happening when you see to cichlids going at it is simple; they are fighting. Since fish do not have hands, they use their mouth to fight.. Generally speaking.. when the fish are going at it.. the fish with the bigger mouth is the "winner" while the fish with the smaller mouth ends up on the "losing" side.. Every once in a while, fish get froggy with each other and try to step up to the dominate one :D You can tell the dominate fish because they are usually the most colored, while the sub-dominant fish will be lightly colored and the rest will have almost no color, because the dominate male will see brighter colors as a threat.
