Moderlieschen are common in Central and Eastern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey grow 6 - 12 cm long, with females tending to be slightly larger and fuller. Moderlieschen live for a maximum of 3 - 4 years. Their back is greenish-brown, their sides are silver, and their belly is whitish. A slightly bluish shimmering longitudinal stripe runs along their sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModerlieschen are found mainly in still or slow-flowing, smaller bodies of water. They do not like strong currents and prefer bank regions with dense vegetation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has an upturned mouth, which indicates that moderlieschen tend to stay in the upper regions of the water and in shallower areas. They have relatively large eyes and scales in proportion to their body. The fins are yellow and partly white, and the base of the fins is usually slightly reddish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare and Feeding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nModerlieschen do not need large water surfaces to feel comfortable, so they are also very suitable as stocking fish for small ponds or biotopes, where they are also highly valued as mosquito eaters. They are very resistant to cold and ice, so overwintering outdoors is harmless. However, they are susceptible to oxygen deficiency and elevated nitrite or ammonium levels. Moderlieschen do not tolerate temperatures above 25 degrees; generally, an aeration pump must be installed in the pond if water temperatures exceed 20 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModerlieschen reach sexual maturity after their first year of life. The spawning season for moderlieschen takes place from April to June, and the water must be 18 degrees or higher for reproduction. The female lays the small, approx. 1mm large eggs in the form of spawn ribbons with the help of her ovipositor on aquatic plants or roots near the water surface. The males care for the brood and guard the spawn from predators. With their fins, they add oxygen to the eggs in the form of fresh water, and they also coat the spawn with a secretion that has antibacterial properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModerlieschen live in schools and are very sociable. Since they have a strong social behavior, they should always be kept in groups, ideally from 5 animals and more. Their peaceful nature allows for problem-free cohabitation with other small fish or peaceful cyprinids such as koi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn nature, moderlieschen feed on plankton and small organisms such as mosquito larvae, water fleas, or even airborne insects. In domestic garden ponds, we feed moderlieschen with special mini pellets for small fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood water quality is a prerequisite for keeping moderlieschen, so a filter system and oxygen enrichment are essential for the well-being of the animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Temperatures and Overwintering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nModerlieschen are native cold-water fish and can cope with a wide variety of conditions.

They are found in Europe from the Urals to the Pyrenees. Rudd can also tolerate a relatively high concentration of salt in the water and are therefore often found in brackish water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRudd are deep-bodied and laterally flattened. The back and top of the head are brown to grey-green, the sides are lighter and golden to brass-coloured. As the name suggests, the most typical feature of the rudd is its almost blood-red coloured ventral, anal, and dorsal fins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn average, rudd grow to between 20 - 30cm and weigh 250 - 300g. There are exceptional specimens of 50cm and up to 2 kg. Under optimal conditions, rudd can live for up to 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRudd are often confused with roach, and various hybrid forms also exist, as the animals can interbreed due to their similar genetics. They can be distinguished by the shape of their mouth: the rudd has an upturned mouth, while the roach has a terminal mouth. The eye colour can also be used to distinguish the animals. The iris of the rudd is yellow to orange, while that of the roach is red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare and Feeding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRudd prefer to feed on algae and aquatic plants, and occasionally on small organisms in the bank area.

Here they prefer to swim in the overgrown, shallower areas and reed fringes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRudd are robust and adaptable fish that are rarely ill and do not have high demands on oxygen saturation or elevated water temperatures. Therefore, they are excellently suited for stocking in biotopes or smaller garden ponds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRudd become sexually mature from the age of 2 - 3 years. Their spawning season is between April and July at water temperatures of 18 degrees and above. During this phase, the animals seek out the shallow and overgrown bank areas and lay their eggs on the aquatic plants there. Since rudd often spawn with other carp-like fish, cross-breeding of species can occur, leading to the formation of so-called hybrid forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are peaceful and social, so they can easily be kept with other carp-like fish.

Carp farming and the resulting forms are now the dominant carp forms due to stocking measures. Different subspecies are distinguished based on the carp's scaling: common carp (fully scaled); linear carp (few but large scales along the lateral line); mirror carp (few but large scales on the back); leather carp (scaleless).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content--title\"\u003eProduct information \"Mirror Carp\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product--description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare and Feeding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCarp are robust and adaptable fish that rarely get sick.

For smaller fish, we recommend a group of 5 or more; larger fish can also be kept in groups of 3 or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarp are typical omnivores. However, they mainly feed on small organisms, but also on insect larvae or worms, and rarely on plant-based food. In garden ponds, we feed carp sinking pellets, as they primarily take their food from the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarp reach sexual maturity at 3 - 5 years. Spawning time for carp occurs, depending on the region, from April - June, at a water temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. During this time, the male develops what is known as the breeding rash, which appears as white spots on the gill cover or pectoral fins. For spawning, carp migrate to the shallow regions of their waters. There, the male fish begin to chase the females. The male nudges the female's flanks with its mouth, thereby stimulating egg laying. Afterwards, the spawn is fertilized by the male. A female carp can lay up to 1,500,000 eggs, depending on its weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood water quality is a prerequisite for keeping carp, therefore a filter system and oxygenation are essential for the well-being of the animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Temperatures and Wintering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCarp are native cold-water fish and can cope with a wide variety of conditions.

Therefore, they can temporarily cope with very little oxygen. In smaller bodies of water such as village ponds or overgrown forest ponds, they are sometimes even the only fish species present thanks to this ability.

The female does not lay all the eggs at once; the spawning season can extend over 2 months. The sex of the tench can be determined by their pectoral fins.

Bitterlings grow to 5 - 10 cm and weigh an average of 15 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBitterlings are found in Central Europe and eastwards to the Caspian Sea.

Therefore, they are perfect as stocking fish for biotopes or smaller garden ponds. Their good-natured nature allows for problem-free cohabitation with other small schooling fish or good-natured cyprinids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBitterlings primarily feed on small invertebrates and algae; in a home garden pond, they readily accept special mini pellets. Bitterlings also eat mosquito larvae, thus helping to curb the annoying mosquito plague.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBitterlings reach sexual maturity at 2 - 3 years of age. The spawning season for bitterlings is between April and June. During spawning season, the male's colours intensify to attract potential mates. The throat and chest turn reddish, and the posterior part of the body takes on an iridescent greenish hue. To reproduce, the bitterling employs a very special strategy: it lives in symbiosis with the large river or pond mussel. Mating-ready males choose a mussel, which they then vehemently defend against other males. The males then try to lure a female to their mussel with a \"courtship dance\". During this time, the female develops an approx. 5cm long ovipositor, with which she lays her eggs into the pond mussel. Shortly thereafter, the male releases sperm, which penetrates the mussel's gill chamber through its respiratory water, fertilizing the eggs laid there. The hatched larvae spend 2 - 4 weeks inside the mussel before leaving the hospitable host at about 5 - 8mm in size. Normally, a female bitterling lays a maximum of 2 eggs per mussel. A female can lay 40 - 100 eggs, which she distributes among different mussels and different partners. Due to this behaviour, several stages of larvae from different bitterling pairs can be present in one mussel. The mussel also benefits from this symbiosis: the mussel's larvae (glochidia) attach themselves to the young bitterlings and are thus dispersed again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood water quality is a prerequisite for keeping bitterlings, so a filtration system and oxygen enrichment are essential for the well-being of the animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Temperatures and Wintering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBitterlings are indigenous cold-water fish and cope well with a wide variety of conditions.

Very well suited for regulating the juvenile fish population. Catfish become increasingly aggressive towards each other with age, hence individual keeping. With good water quality\/filtration, keeping larger groups is also possible, as aggressions then distribute, and the catfish form a pecking order. Nevertheless, fights occur among catfish, during which they bite each other's mouths and fins, which are often injured. Keeping small groups of a few animals is bad, as the weakest animal is often killed and often eaten as soon as it fits into the mouth of a larger catfish. Catfish grow very quickly; in warm water, they can grow over 40cm long within the first year. Catfish are nocturnal and like to hide during the day. Therefore, one to two hiding places should be provided for each catfish.\u003cbr\u003e\nReproduction: In spring, the male builds a nest, usually a pit under a shelter.

However, these colors often disappear with the next molt.\u003cbr\u003e\nNoble crayfish are very similar to the invasive American signal crayfish. Like them, noble crayfish also have two-part eye ridges and almost always a red underside of the claws. However, the noble crayfish can be reliably distinguished by its reddish joint membrane between the claw segments and by some clearly palpable lateral spines near the nuchal groove. In the past, noble crayfish were found in almost all larger bodies of water in Central Europe. But crayfish plague, a deadly animal disease, and strong competition from invasive American freshwater crayfish species have led to the disappearance of these animals in many waters. However, water pollution by pesticides from agriculture also contributes to this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping and Feeding\u003cbr\u003e\nKeeping noble crayfish in your own garden is not difficult, as long as the following is observed: The depth of the pond should be at least 1m. Since crayfish have high demands on the water, the pond should not be exposed to contamination by herbicides or pesticides. Crayfish do not like it too cold; the water temperature should be between 16 and 24°C in summer.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe nature of the pond is also important. Due to its special behaviors, the crayfish needs diggable edges, stable bottom and edge conditions, and a generous bank area. Keeping them in foil ponds and tubs is possible, but not ideal, as the digging possibilities are rather limited here. Because the crayfish spends a lot of time digging: it even builds self-dug tubes, which it defends as its own dwelling. But there is another thing that is very important to the crayfish and contributes significantly to its living comfort: hiding places! Whether large stones, roots, ridge tiles or similar, the crayfish needs places to hide. Here it spends the day, hides when threatened, or eats its prey in peace.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen it comes to eating, the crayfish is not nearly as picky as it is with its pond requirements, because it is an omnivore. Dead fish, worms, snails and insects are on its menu, as are fallen leaves, plant remains and algae. In general, you don't have to worry about your own pond plants. The crayfish feeds not on living, but rather on dead plant parts; these are softer and therefore easier to consume. Since they already find everything necessary in the pond, it is generally not necessary to feed them extra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fact that the crayfish is not such a picky eater benefits your pond. Since they clean the water of organic residues, such as dead plants and dead animals, they ensure good water quality. It is not for nothing that crayfish are also called \"the health police of the pond\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamily Crayfish\u003cbr\u003e\nScientific Name Astacus\u003cbr\u003e\nOccurrence Central Europe\u003cbr\u003e\nSize up to 20 cm (without claws)\u003cbr\u003e\nWater temperature 16-24°C\u003cbr\u003e\nCharacteristics reddish underside of claws, two-part eye ridges, claw joint membrane is red\u003cbr\u003e\nFood\u003cbr\u003e\nOmnivore, dead fish, worms, insects, dead plant parts\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mein Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56278221062488,"sku":"EKREBS24","price":44.5,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/1197\/1160\/files\/EDELKREBS1.jpg?v=1764084598"},{"product_id":"fischtransportbehaelter-aq-pe-ohne-isolierung-190-liter","title":"Fish Transport Container AQ-PE without Insulation 190 Liters","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct information \"Fish transport tank AQ-PE without insulation\"\u003cbr\u003e\nFish transport tank AQ-PE without insulation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particularly robust yet lightweight transport tank for live fish,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003emade of food-safe and chemical-resistant polyethylene (PE),\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eprimarily stands out due to its rounded shape.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis not only prevents injuries to the fish but also prevents the water from sloshing,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ekeeping the fish calm.\u003cbr\u003e\nA screen can be installed inside before the outlet, ensuring that no fish but\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eonly water can exit.
