It is actually not hard to maintain a happy and healthy freshwater aquarium, but it does take some weekly maintenance to keep the chemistry in balance and the quality of the water high. Once you have an established aquarium with fish, plants, rocks, decorations, filters, and aeration, you need to keep the water quality where it has to be to maintain life in your aquarium.

VIGNO – Vignadores de Carignan , the first true Chilean appellation is set to be a  reality. The name is derived from vino, the Spanish word for wine, combined with the “G” from Carignan. VIGNO represents old-vine Carignan wines from the Maule Valley, located about three hours south of Santiago.

Much to the dismay of the girls, I explained that keeping the baby possums was not an option. Survival chances for such young newborns without a mother are slim, so we needed to get them to someone who had the experience and tools to care for them. The animal rescue volunteer asked us to take the babies to the local animal hospital so that they could be incubated and hydrated. Then, a volunteer from Keeper of the Wild would pick them up to start the care.
