224. Goodeids
Continuing Livebearer month, the Water Colors team is discussing goodeids! They belong to the order cyprinodontiformes, the suborder cyprinodontoidei, and the family goodeidae. This family is split into two sub families. The first, goodeinae, are endemic to shallow freshwater habitats in Mexico – particularly along the Mesa Central area. Additionally, some species are found in brackish fringes of the Pacific coast, and north to Central Durango, Central Sinaloa, and North San Luis Potosí. The second sub family, empetrichthyinae, is found in the southwestern Great Basin in Nevada. Many of these species are rare and difficult to find, adding to the allure for livebearer fanatics. We discuss availability, conservation status, care, and more! Which species have you kept?

223. Xiphophorus
To start off our official livebearer month, we’re discussing the genus xiphophorus! This group of fish is near and dear to us, and many other aquarists alike. The genus is divided into 3 categories – northern swordtails, southern swordtails, and platies. Many hobbyists have kept common swordtails and platys in some of their very first aquariums, and yet some species still remain rare and elusive to this day. Which species have you kept? Which varieties would you love to track down?

221. Understanding Hexacorallia
In this episode, the Water Colors team breaks down the class hexacorallia, and the 5 orders within it. This class is distinct in that the species within it are typically identified by having 6 or fewer axes of symmetry. Many of the species within hexacorallia are what hobbyists know as ‘stony corals’. Interestingly, also included are anemones and zoanthids! Which varieties of hexacorallia are your favorites?
