General Freshwater
In this section you will find links pertaining to general freshwater aquariums. Your chances of successfully keeping a freshwater aquarium with thriving, beautiful fish will increase dramatically if you check out the advice given by more experienced aquarists. By learning from the mistakes and successes of others, you can avoid many of the common beginner mistakes that make so many aspiring aquarist grow tired of the hobby. After all, it is easy to loose heart when you just found your third batch of fish belly up in the tank. What went wrong? Unfortunately, quite a lot of pet shops oversimplify facts when selling aquariums to beginners since they are afraid of scaring potential customers away with strict maintenance guides. Instead, they tell you to fill the aquarium, let it stand for 24 hours, pop in some magical drops from a bottle, toss in all the fish you want, and that’s that. The fact that any fish survives this ordeal has more to do with the amazing sturdiness found in our most commonly sold beginner species than in the accuracy of the advice. The fact that a fish is robust and adaptable doesn’t mean that it likes being exposed to harsh conditions and with a little more pampering you can look forward to owning fish that actually thrive, not merely survive, in your tank.
