As we all know rivers and lakes are the natural habits for fish and other marines. Rivers and lakes have large surface area which makes maximum provision of oxygen for fish survival possible. On the other hand aquarium is not like river or lake, it has a smaller surface area and there is limited movement of habitats.This makes provision of alternative means of oxygen for fish to breathe important

Why Lighting?The simplest, most economic choice of lighting is sunlight. No tech aquarium folks believe there is no substitute. For many applications, aquarium lighting demands specific technology.When you heat something, that something's temperature goes up. At room temperature, this something will emit energy in the infrared (below red) range of light. However, hotter things emit light in the

Aquarium Setup and DesignDimensionsTank dimensions are determined by the individuals inside your aquarium. Some fish require swimming space, and the length of the tank may be important. Some corals require intense light, and the height of the tank may be important. Some plants grow like bushes, and the width of the tank may be important. Also, the surface area of the bottom influences how much

Two concepts are very important when choosing a substrate for the planted aquarium: circulation and ion exchange.CirculatoinCirculation in the substrate can be totally passive, meaning that nothing is done to move water across the plants' roots. A popular option is to heat the bottom of the aquarium in an effort to move water from the bottom of the tank to the top. The third option is to actually

Setting up Set the tank up at least a few days before buying fish. This will give the water time to stabilise and allow time for checking that everything is working properly. Once the tank has been positioned, a background of some sort can be fitted. As well as being more appealing than seeing the wall behind the tank, a background will make fish feel more secure because they are not 'exposed' on

Never buy the tank and fish on the same day. Although it may be tempting to go home with several appealing fish, some patience and restraint is called for initially. If your space and budget allows, go for a larger tank. Small tanks are often sold as "ideal for the beginner", but this is not really true. Larger tanks are more stable in terms of their water chemistry, temperature, etc. Conditions

Never buy fish from a tank where any dead or dying fish are visible. Observe fish carefully before buying. Avoid any with damaged fins or gills. When adding fish to the tank, allow the bag to float in the tank for at least 15 minutes to equalise temperature. Add only a few fish initially - otherwise they will suffer serious effects of "New Tank Syndrome" due to Cycling. Feed lightly, this will

These days, most aquaria are made from sheets of glass glued together with silicone rubber. As a result they do not leak after many years in service, or by being emptied and refilled many times. The cheapest types have the visible edges of the glass smoothed and polished. It is possible to buy molded plastic tanks, often bow-fronted or other unusual shapes. These cannot be recommended for
