| Cultured by Humanoido for the Aquatic Space Program, Fish Tank 2 contains Dwarf Puffers |
Space1 has expanded the Aquatics Space Program to three tanks with five species being studied for potential space flight. This includes Dwarf Puffer fish, Chinese Algae Eater, Fancy Veil Tailed Guppies, and two varieties of snails. In particular, Orange Ramshorn will continue and other varieties will be discontinued.
As of February 18th, the snails have at least six clutches of eggs with an average of twelve per clutch. If all baby snails hatch and survive, a total of 72 will result. One clutch of twelve has already hatched. The orange Ramshorn snails appear ideal for space travel, are hardy, the fastest moving of all the snail varieties studied, and are not picky about food or environment.
A study is initiated regarding how to create an invention to communicate with snails during space travel. The Fish Talk invention is species dependent, working with optoelectronics and a built-in Fish to English translator, and will not work with snails. A new method and invention is being considered for snails.
Four species of plants are doing exceptionally well in all three tanks and have expanded to three additional containers. These are great oxygenator varieties and absorb co2 from the fish and snails. They are also good food for the snails, Chinese Algae Eater, and create habitats of privacy for the aquatics.
Adult populations are highly selective for space travel potentials, and with qualifications for the Astronaut Training Program, with ten candidate fish and five candidate snails.
Food includes Blood Worms, large and small shrimp, and apple. Two Guppy females are pregnant with an estimated 12 to 25 potential babies to each mother. If caught in time after birth, the yield could be up to 50 prized cultured fancy King Cobra Veil Tail Guppies. The yellow black spotted variety is highly rare and Humanoido repeatedly scoured prized aquatic stores to find this baseline treasure. This variety of species is currently being cultured into new strains.
