Blue Eyed Cardinal Apogon LeptacanthusOverview
The Blue Eyed Cardinal, scientifically known as Apogon Leptacanthus, is a captivating marine fish known for its vibrant colors and distinctive blue eyes. This small, yet striking species adds a pop of color and activity to any saltwater aquarium. They typically grow to a size of 2-3 inches, making them an ideal choice for a variety of tank sizes.
Origin
Native to the Western Pacific Ocean, the Blue Eyed Cardinal thrives in coral-rich areas, lagoons, and sheltered reefs. They prefer environments with plenty of hiding spots to mimic their natural habitat.
Feeding
As a carnivorous species, the Blue Eyed Cardinal's diet in the wild consists mainly of small crustaceans and zooplankton. In captivity, they should be fed a variety of high-quality marine foods, including frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and marine flakes or pellets designed for carnivorous fish. Frequent, small feedings are recommended to ensure optimal health and coloration.
Tank Mates
This species is known for its peaceful demeanor, making it a suitable companion for many other reef-safe fish and invertebrates. Ideal tank mates include other small, peaceful fish such as clownfish, gobies, and dartfish. It is advisable to avoid housing them with large, aggressive species that may intimidate or harm these delicate cardinals.
Aggression
The Blue Eyed Cardinal is a notably peaceful and sociable fish, often found in small groups in the wild. In the aquarium, they can be kept singly or in groups, though it's important to introduce all individuals simultaneously to prevent territorial disputes. Their peaceful nature makes them excellent candidates for community tanks.
Experience Level
This species is well-suited for aquarists of all levels, from beginners to advanced. Their hardy nature and adaptability to aquarium life make them a relatively easy fish to care for, provided their basic needs are met.
Water Parameters
To thrive, Blue Eyed Cardinal fish require stable water conditions: temperature should be maintained between 72°F to 78°F (22°C to 26°C), pH levels between 8.1 to 8.4, and specific gravity should range from 1.020 to 1.025. Regular water changes and good filtration are essential to keep the water clean and oxygen-rich.

Enlightening, transformative, maybe even life-changing
Format: Paperback
I would have to say that this is an interactive book. As I was reading this with a group, reading one or two chapters at a time, it was possible to do all the exercises. I did not do them all, but must say it was an eye-opening experience. The basis premise of the book is that we carry trauma in our bodies, and that we respond to issues of race, first and foremost, in our bodies, as a visceral response. And, as so many of our experiences originate early in life, these responses are often immediate and unconscious, and thus, this book requires a great deal of interior work. It's worth every moment of it. I remember clearly, that before I had finished the introduction, I felt rage- actual rage. And for a person who considers herself balanced and rather low-key this was quite astounding. And this rage continued to surface. Let me just say that this book makes you explore unexamined parts of yourself, if you will let it. Expect to feel uncomfortable, and if you push through it, you may be different when you get to the other side...

Don't Forget Grandmother's Feet!
Format: Kindle
A very idealistic approach in dealing with the racial trauma that is very much alive in America. I like the way the author built the narrative based on his grandmother’s unspoken experiences in her life which was exemplified by the condition of her hands (and feet). The author made references to the trauma being in our bodies, which was different. The only issue I had with this book is where the author tried to equate the trauma that White folks experienced in Europe before coming to America with the plight of Black folk that is ongoing. How did White folks overcome their trauma? Prosperity! I believe that there is a correlation between our trauma as Black folk and reparations and why this country is so adamant about not giving us reparations…because it will help to offset our trauma, and they don’t want us healed. However, if they are inclined towards healing, then this book makes some practical suggestions (and exercises) to do so; for Whites, Blacks, and even the PO-lice.

Everyone in the US should read this book, no matter who they are
Format: Paperback
This book is a must read for those of us living in communities struggling with racism. Resmaa Menakem has created a masterpiece of storytelling, restorative justice, awareness raising, and healing. The writing is just excellent, and the clarity with which Menakem lays out the evidence for racism and what to do about is brilliant, and the impact is disturbing, as it should be. The chapter on race and police brutality is a strong example of that, of how black bodies create fear in white bodies. He writes about how people of color sacrifice parts of themselves every day to stay safe, and sometimes they don't succeed. He writes about how this fear of the other is in the body, and it takes a body-centered approach to heal it. We must self confront and stop talking about it; we must feel it, and practice healing approaches. Each chapter has exercises for us to practice to heal ourselves, black and white. He recommends self confrontation as a form of "clean pain," versus the "dirty pain" of avoidance, denial and blame. The examples in the book are so true and riveting. I highly recommend this book, and the practices within. A page turner. I could not put it down.

essential reading for activists and healers alike
Format: Paperback
as a white trauma therapist & somatic practitioner who in my early career worked primarily in Communities of Color, People of Color clients help me realize that I could not support them in healing the root of what they were dealing with if I did not understand the trauma of systemic and intergenerational racism. As an anti-racist educator, after co-facilitating many 2 day trainings and watching most people dissociate the whole time only come back around to repeating courses not remembering most of what we talked about, I was becoming disillusioned with both fields of practice. Resmaa Menakem's book came at just the right time in my journey, and I believe in our movement, to help us bridge the worlds of anti-racism and somatics and carve the path forward to heal our bodies and souls from white supremacy. White folks like myself will be tempted to breeze through this book and teach it to others; We would do well instead to form communities around the practices in here and integrate the deep healing available to us in both the history and somatics Resmaa offers us. This is truly one of our sacred movement texts on the path to Collective Liberation. For healers: This is the tool for healing the racism at the root of our trauma and disembodiment. For activists: This is the tool for healing the internalized racial oppression that busts up our movements. -- kelly germaine strickland, msw, lisw
