Potamotrygon Reticulata

Yesterday, after much waiting, came the long awaited Potamotrygon Reticulata ...
Here are some pictures after the first day of freedom in the quarantine tank where he stayed for forty days.
E 'a fish beautiful and fascinating, moving with a lightness and elegance, hypnotic ...

Species name: Potamotrygon reticulata
size: about 35 cm
pH: 6.5 to 8
aquarium minimum recommended size: 600 liters (for an adult)
Source: Suriname, Brazil, Colombia
Temperature: 25 ° -28 ° C

Diet: Primarily carnivorous
. Diet consists of benthic invertebrates such as crustaceans and worms, and limited amounts of vegetable matter. In aquaria, they will accept live worms, bloodworms, cut shrimp, shrimp, white fish cut. It 's often difficult to wean.

Breeding:
Potamotrygon reticulata is one of several freshwater species are bred in captivity.
As in all freshwater species, fertilization is internal. During mating, the male grasps the disc of the female with his mouth and tries to roll under her, where they will be subsequently deposited semen.
breeds freshwater are viviparous and have a gestation period of several months (depending on species). The uterus is formed by the expansion of the oviduct. Embryos receive nutrients from their yolk sac in early development. During the later stages of pregnancy, the stringy appendages develop inside the uterus to penetrate the embryo, providing food rich in nutrients that nourishes the baby until birth.

Cohabitation:
generally peaceful. Can be kept with other breeds freshwater fish and larger. Being carnivorous tend to feed on small fish may present in the tank.

Film and mystery - Olympians / aliens - Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief & Clash of the Titans

ancient Greek gods Zeus, Hephaestus, Poseidon, Hermes and so on. on which the film Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief and Clash of the Titans : they were only mythological characters , or beings from the stars really exist?

Zeus, Hephaestus, Poseidon, Hermes, they were only mythological figures, or beings from the stars really exist? The chariot of the Sun of Apollo, the lightning of Jupiter, the high-tech tools of Hephaestus e. ..

often talking about Paleoastronautica, thought is a beautiful and remote places like Palenque, Macchu Picchu or Egypt. Yet, traces of the passage and technologically advanced beings, perhaps from the stars, are found easily in the Mediterranean basin. The Greek legends, and consequently also those of the ancient Romans, sometimes referring to the activity of the gods of Olympus. It is only mythology, or traditions which refer to events that actually occurred?

THE AGE OF THE TITANS
making our issues to the expert care of the Semitic languages \u200b\u200bZecharia Sitchin, the beginnings of the "Genesis" Greek seem to be related - also to the Sumerian - the creation of the Solar System. Uranus the Sky, and Gaia the Earth, they mate several times. From their union were born 12 children, giant Titans from which the gods will be generated later. The Titans - six males and six females - seem to represent the planets of the solar system, which we now know to have been astronomically "generated" by the mass of the Sun Glow The number 12 is not surprising, although at present our knowledge of astronomy show nine planets in ancient times the Sun and the Moon were regarded as such and if Sitchin is right, about the existence of a planet in the solar system more distant than Pluto, then the bill returns. The newest member of the Titans - which is traditionally called Cronos, "the Time" - kills his father Uranus and takes its place as King of Heaven. The result is a furious dispute between the Titans, who soon turns into a war between supporters and opponents of Cronos. Probably this myth refers to the times of chaos, when strong gravitational currents moved disorderly newborn planets, located in orbits still uncertain. The situation remained stalled and Cronos, lord Chaos reigned supreme. Cronos was the Romans called Saturn and it is possible that the eponymous planet, whose motion likely once was highly irregular, disturbed the harmony of the solar system. No accident that the Romans, in a later period, Saturn hooked up to Dionysus / Bacchus, the god of wandering alcoholic.
was then that Zeus was born. He generated by Cronos himself, defied his father, hitting him as he had done with Uranus. The balance was restored and began a period of peace and order among the Titans. Once again it is a fine allegory: Zeus Jupiter was renamed by the Romans and it is likely that this planet, like others issued by the Sun in a sort of "parthenogenesis" with its enormous size (the largest in the solar system after the Sun) positively influence the orbits of nearby planets, making them slower and regular. As for Cronos / Saturn, the myth says it was actually "killed", but sent back in the Elysian Fields, a kind of paradise of Greece. It can be assumed that the sudden extrusion of the mass of Jupiter from the Sun has yielded a kind of gravitational effect to "catapult", which ran the unstable orbits Saturn at a distance from the Sun, where its motion became more regular. The heavenly bodies cooled and stabilized, and their orbital rotations became more regular. It was a golden age, ruled by the wise Jupiter. To just be astronomical allegory, is detailed and effective. How did the Greeks to get a description so detailed - as symbolic - of the birth of the solar system?

JUPITER AND THE WAR OF THE GIANTS
From global allegory, legends and Greek myths seem then switch to a scale far more "human". This is why Zeus / Jupiter, to restore the whole order, must continue his work peacemaking eliminating the "Giants", primordial beings, sons of the Titans and some people of the same Uranus and Gaia. Related with the gods, their nature was destructive and terrible.
It would be led to a tremendous battle, which took place thousands of years ago between two alien factions. Hypothesis? Maybe, but tradition says that the long battle was really in heaven and, therefore, Zeus, was able to break down many Giants, thanks to its lightning (arrows out of the ordinary, since they "manufactured" Hephaestus in his forge.) However the Giants had not been defeated, and placing two Greek mountains - the bones and the Pelion - near Olympus, climbed the sky almost to touch it. But Zeus, aided by all the gods of Olympus, and Hercules was able to reject them down, saving the gods dall'onta of an invasion.
What had really happened? Reminded of the biblical accounts, in which arrogant men build a tower to reach titanic the sky. The result is the "outrageous hypothesis", supported by some researchers, that the tower of Babel was not merely a missile launching pad, a sort of "Cape Canaveral" avant la lettre, in which men would be able to reach "Heaven", a generic term that in many cultures do not indicate the sky (as the Hebrew word used is Aravoth "cloud," always associated with root = RKB ride or drive a car), because the huge spaceships mothers - or space station - where they lived some aliens "deified." But how could human beings possess this technology? It should be noted that the apocryphal Jewish texts often speak of "fallen angels". They were over two hundred "Watchers," guardian angels come from heaven that is infatuated with Earth women. God, as punishment, denied them to return to "heaven", being the spacecraft, and banished them forever on Earth. So the angels fell, led by their chief Semeyaza, taught the human women and their children on how to perform extraordinary miracles, how to build powerful weapons and armor shining and how to evoke the power of the elements. In the "Book of Enoch" are defined as children born from the union of the Watchers and human women with the word "Giants". Then, those Giants, which the Greeks gave rise to the "Heaven", the hybrids were outcast, a strange hybrid human-alien? Who knows. Even more fascinating to discover the original Hebrew names: "Vigilante" is the translation of "Elohim" and the "Giant" comes from "Nephilim", often mentioned by Sitchin beings. And these Watchers aliens exiled on Earth, their technology taught to children Nephilim (Giants), who used it to groped to find a "way for the Stars." Away but was blocked forever from the chaos of Babel of languages. Or, in another version, the mighty Zeus lightning.

Zeus

King of the Gods of Heaven and God of Thunder

the Gods
According to the Hellenic tradition, the assembly of the gods who guided the destiny of the world was formed by twelve (the number that occurs frequently in other traditions) gods. They included Apollo, Mercury, Dionysus, Venus, Mars, Hephaestus, and more. The deeds and characteristics of these deities are known to us thanks to the prolific literary activity of the Greeks. But these are only myths, these stories or hide a historical basis? Apollo, son of Hyperion and Thea, revered as the god of the Sun, was among the most beloved gods by the Greeks. The presence of the star solar light and heat which sustains life for all, was provided by Apollo, who headed the "chariot of the Sun," a kind of vehicle that gave off a strong light and burn those to him. We must remember in this regard, the legend of Phaeton, produced by Apollo and the nymph Clymene, that to show his friends to be truly the son of the sun god, he asked the father to be able to drive the chariot of the Sun Apollo, although initially reluctant, finally agreed, make sure that the boy would not have flown too low. But the child, however, the better to be admired by friends flew along ground. The myths tell us that the tops of the mountains caught fire, the earth became parched and the vegetation dries up a large part of Ethiopia. Phaethon could no longer control the fiery steeds of the "chariot of the Sun" and his father started to climb higher and higher, toward the homes of the gods. It was then that Zeus / Jupiter, reluctantly, was forced to demolish the dangerous wagon with one of his lightning. A reinterpretation of the myth in a modern way suggests that Phaethon had tried to drive a flying ship, quickly losing control, while the powerful electromagnetic field of the spaceship Apollo began to wreak havoc. In fact, in the same Bible mentions the "Glory of God", which, hovering too close to the top of the mountains, he sets fire to the top, while the earth trembles at his passing. The "gods" was not simply demolish it, perhaps with some sort of laser beam or electro-magnetic particles, a "Lightning" artificial, that is.
also possible that Mercury, described as "the fastest of the gods", were to have a car like that? Myths planetary mix often refer to those activities of alien races on Earth and probably Mercury (Hermes for the Greeks) had its reputation as the "speed" only to the fact that the planet of the same name, being the closest to the Sun, is what it takes less time to get around Him. But how could the Greeks over 3,500 years ago, details about these and other astronomical? Not having the means to determine them, someone had averglieli explained. But who? Perhaps the gods of Olympus?

THE CITY OF UNDERWATER POSEIDON
Neptune, or Poseidon for the Greeks, was the brother of Zeus and Hades, the god of the underworld. He lived in the depths where they had submarine built by the gods huge fish town, there lived a large number of amphibious creatures, half man and half fish. The Tritons, Nereids and other creatures of the sea water were the people ruled by Poseidon, often called the "god from light coma." Half-fish beings, then, just as those represented by the Sumerians or the Maya. It's just a case that matches the description of certain creatures in places so distant? Even her hair turquoise make you think: what if it were alien beings whose natural habitat was water? A planet rich in water like ours would have been ideal to plant a colony.
Hephaestus, known to the Romans by the name of Vulcan, was the son of Zeus and brother of the warlike Mars. He not only was the only one who knew how to create special alloys, but it could give the metals unusual powers: that is not broke shields, helmets and weapons infallible - like that of Hades - that made it invisible. To hear some descriptions, come to think of force fields (shatterproof shields), weapons pointing laser (infallible) and cloaking devices that alter light waves, thus making it a transparent person. It may also reflect the myth that once Hephaestus / Vulcan, to spite his mother Hera who derision, gave him a throne of precious metal forged in his forge. As the wife of Zeus sat there, he was unable to move, because the throne was equipped with "invisible chains. The joke did not last long, but it is easy to notice the similarities between the throne of Hephaestus and operating tables - often used by ET during the abductions - which seem to cause, in whom there is lying or forced, a slight paralysis. So Hephaestus was not, as is the classic iconography, just a surly blacksmith, but a sort of engineer, capable of sophisticated high-tech equipment.

CONCLUSIONS
really exist beings as Zeus, Apollo, Mercury? As always, the truth is somewhere in between. It is likely that the legends that concern them are inspired by real events.
We also think that the iconography has changed costumes, stories, and aesthetic aspects of these "gods", adapted to the taste of the age of Greece. These things probably do not put the tunic and wearing crowns of laurel, but the strong track left in our culture suggests that the root of the myth there is something real. Even in the first series of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry suggested his hypothesis that the ancient Greek gods were in fact of TE. And today, admiring the shores of the Peloponnese or the majesty of Partenone, viene quasi da chiedersi: Gli dei dell'Olimpo torneranno un giorno?
