This site is dedicated to providing information to anyone interested in keeping fish as a hobby, covering tropical, coldwater and marine species.
We hope you will find this site informative and helpful. All the articles written are done by fish experts with hands on experience. Please feel free to join our friendly community and add your own input.
Fish keeping has a long history and has been a relaxing hobby for centuries. The ancient Chinese were the first civilization thought to have kept fish for ornamental purposes. Even earlier than the Chinese though, civilizations were keeping plenty of fish in various types of holding containers for food purposes. We've come along way since then and hopefully we can help others enjoy this fascinating hobby.
On this site, you will find coldwater fish, freshwater tropical fish and saltwater tropical fish beginner guides that will help you care for your pet fish. These aquarium beginner guides will help you learn the basics. We hope you'll learn that you need to do some research before buying fish.
Doing your research before you purchase your livestock will prevent you from making big mistakes with your aquarium, such as trying to stuff a pleco into a 10 gallon tank, cramping a goldfish in a small goldfish bowl, putting big fish into a small tank, putting small fish in with larger more aggressive species or putting multiple male bettas in the same aquarium! These are obviously things we want to avoid and hopefully we can help get you going on the right track.
On the left hand side of this page is the main navigation that will take you to more areas all about fish. If you have trouble finding something, use the search box at the top right of the page.
