Fishy Monday: Blue Assessor Baslett


Today for Fishy Monday I'll be telling tou about the Blue Assessor Basslet.


The Blue Assesor is one of the smaller species of Basslet measuring in a length of up to 2 inches.It is a carnivore feeding on shrimp and crustaceans but it feeds mostly on zoo plankton.It can be found in the Atlantic Ocean by its self or in small pairs.The cousin of this fish the Yellow Assessor Basslet(See at top left corner.)lives the same way as a carnivorous,small,aggressive,hardy fish and like the Blue Assessor it is quite rare but back to the Blue Assessor.This fish loves to hang around in caves more than open water.It a nocturnal fish meaning it comes out at night.

That's my report on the Blue Assessor Basslet.The End.

Fun Friday The Maple Tree

Today for a few days ago Fun Friday I'm going to tell you about the Maple Tree.

The Maple Tree is one of the most common trees in North America.


It is a huge tree usually growing to the average size of up to 50 feet but some can get up to 70ft.They are deciduous trees meaning they loose there leaves in the fall.When the leaves of this tree falls off the leaves spin like a helicopter while falling,where coming in for a landing.The leaves of this tree are all sorts colors throughout the year.In the Spring they are a nice shade of green,in the Summer they get a brighter shade of green,in the Fall they get the colors of red,yellow,and orange,in early Winter they start to fall of and the leaves are dark brown,and in mid and late Winter the trees are bare and the leaves at the bottom are brown.Then the cycle repeats over and over again!The flowers of this tree are thin and sit up right,most other tree flowers don't do that.

That's my report on the Maple Tree.The End.

Fishy Monday Queen Angelfish

Today for Fishy Monday I'll be telling you about the Queen Angelfish.


The Queen Angelfish is one of the biggest,and possibly the biggest,Angelfish found!Averaging to up to 18in,equal to 1ft and 1/2,this is truly the queen of the reef.The Queen Angelfish has that name because it has a strange black spot on the top of the head surrounded by a litter blue than the body which represents a crown.The body of a Queen Angelfish is a blue head and chin,a yellow face and body,a bright yellow tail,and like any big angelfish long fin like hairs that go around the tail.It is a omnivore feeding on Corals and Algae.It is rare but the Queen Angelfish has been known to mate with another species of Angelfish called the Blue Angelfish forming a animal called a hybrid.For all you youngsters out there who read my Blog and don't know what a hybrid is here is your answer.A hybrid is a creature when two different species mate with each other making a new species for instance if a monkey matted with a elephant you might end up with a thing called a Monkeyphant.I do not know the name of the Angelfish that you get when a Queen Angelfish mate with each other.

That's my report on the Queen Angelfish.The End.

Fishy Monday Maroon Clownfish



Today for Fishy Monday I will be telling you about a personal favorite of mine,the Maroon Clownfish.


The Maroon Clownfish is one of the biggest of clownfish and also one of the nastiest.It will attack any fish that comes to it's anemone such as other Maroon Clownfish while it's smaller relatives such as the Percula Clownfish can share a anemone with up to 5 individuals.It is carnivore feeding mainly on shrimp.Like I said it lives in a anemone like other Clownfish but this Clownfish likes a certain kind of anemone,the Bubble Anemone.It takes care of the Anenome by feeding it pieces of it's food while the Bubble Anemone helps the Maroon Clownfish from becoming food.There are three different kinds of Maroon Clownfish.1,the commen White stripe Maroon Clown,2 the yellow stripe Maroon Clown,and 3 the rare Lightning Maroon Clownfish.The usual size of a Maroon Clownfish is 6 inches but they can be as short as 4 inches.The place the Maroon Clownfish can normally be found is the Western Pacific.


That's my report on the Maroon Clownfish for this weeks Fishy Monday. The End.

Fun Friday Letter W: Walrus

Today for Fun Friday I'm going to tell you about the walrus.



The walrus is a big water mammal that is brown to tan,like me,and feeds on things like soft corals,crabs,and mollusks(or clams as most people call them.).They are a member of the seal family mostly related to the manatee.It only has two main predators which are the Polar Bear and the Killer Whale A.K.A. the Orca.At a length of almost 25 feet a Killer Whale can easily kill a walrus in the water and on land!,They have been known to come up on the sand bar and grab a walrus right from under its feet.There are mainly three different kinds of walrus.The Atlantic,Pacific,and Laptev Walrus.A walrus colony can be up to 200,000 walrus that's more than the city of Tampa,a lot more.


That's my report on the Walrus for Fun Friday.The End.
