Product Information

Cover the jagged edges of your can with tape, and put your balloon in there, on top of the coins. Then tape it to the can sturdily, using my handsome photo (above) for guidance. While you're free to do whatever you choose, it's worth considering whether or not perpetuating these fish in the aquarium hobby is the right decision. It's always a good idea to discuss the health and life expectancy of these fish directly with the breeder that's selling them so that you can be as well-informed as possible. For hobbyists looking to house a group of Balloon Rams, you'll want to look for a tank that's at least 30 gallons in size, if not larger depending on the quantity being housed.

When first introduced into an aquarium, balloon rams may be quite timid. Having a fully cycled, established tank, with plenty of hardscape such as mopani driftwood and cholla wood will make them feel at ease.Now, I know you might have some logistical questions about using your second head. I’ve done my best to anticipate them and have answered them here. Now a coroner has vowed to write to Newcastle City Council's public health department over the tragic events, urging officials to take action over the danger posed by the balloons. At an inquest on Monday, Karlton's devastated mum Lisa paid tribute to her "incredibly precious boy" taken by a tragic accident. Since Balloon Rams are selectively bred, they're more susceptible to diseases and dietary issues, giving them an average lifespan of about 2-3 years. Kazuko is trapped inside her house, unable to leave or she will be killed. She is starving to death, and the creature waiting for her uses Kazuko's own voice to try to lure her outside.

Det Ch Insp Laura Defty of Northumbria Police, who investigated Karlton's death, described it as a "tragic" but "unpreventable" accident, reiterating how easily available the balloons were. "This was a tragic accident and the parents were in no way to blame," the detective told the court. In the wild, a Balloon Ram's naturally-occurring relative, Mikrogeophagus ramirezi can be found swimming in the Orinoco River, which plays host to a diverse group of wildlife, including some of the most popular aquarium fish, such as the Cardinal Tetra and Green Phantom Pleco. Water is slow-moving in their natural habitat, where temperatures tend to be on the warm side, and water alkalinity is considered to be acidic. Here is a sectioned example of both the old balloon head and the modern head cases. The difference here is very clear. During the inquest it was heard Karlton had loved dinosaurs, with his first words as an infant having been "dinosaur roar". The helium from the dinosaur balloon, medical experts told the hearing, would have displaced the oxygen in his lungs, ultimately causing the fatal brain injury.I just want everyone to understand that Karlton was an incredibly precious boy," mum Lisa told Newcastle coroner's court. "For me and Karl he was our only child and he was precious to everyone he met. This tragic accident took him away from everyone who loved him." She added: "As his mum and dad we will carry him with us forever." From the Author: We strongly recommend quarantining any new tank additions before adding them into a display tank. Monitoring a fish over a 2-3 week period in an established quarantine tank will give you plenty of time to notice any potential diseases before they take hold. Karlton had inhaled too much helium and needed urgent medical attention. He was given emergency CPR from medics on the scene before being airlifted to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary

No, I don’t think so. I suspect most people in Zooms either look at themselves or at the person talking. Since you won’t be talking, I don’t imagine many people will look at you. If you run into an issue (maybe you hear some murmuring about how you’ve become oddly still) text someone in the Zoom, “Ugh, do you guys see me waving? I think my Zoom might be frozen.” Ask several times (“Can you see me waving now?”; “I see you guys moving but I don’t know if you can see me”; “Does anyone know how to get it to unfreeze?”) until they stop bringing it up. Water parameters of a balloon cichlid's native relative, the ram cichlid, tend to be acidic and on the warm side. You'll want to aim for the following water conditions if you plan on keeping balloon rams.Parents have been issued a devastating warning after a five-year-old boy suffocated by putting his head in a dinosaur helium balloon. We recommend feeding Balloon Rams nutrient-rich sinking pellets and algae wafers, 1-2 times per day, no more than what they can consume over a 2-3 minute period. Hobbyists looking to distinguish males from females should closely examine their dorsal fins. Male balloon rams tend to have long, spike-like dorsal fins, and a much brighter coloration. Balloon rams are shorter than their wild counterparts and will grow to reach about 2 inches in length, with males being about half an inch larger than females. I will be writing to Newcastle City Council, to its public health department, to see what can be done in terms of public awareness of the risks of helium balloons." Mr Thompson said he hoped the press would assist by reporting in this case of the risks of helium balloons. Most Read
