Freshwater Fish
Freshwater Fish
Freshwater aquariums can house small to very large fish, invertebrates, pond fish, and a wide array of aquatic plants. The only limitation is the imagination of those keeping them.
There exists a vast diversity among freshwater fish available in the hobby: peaceful community fish, aggressive fish, Catfish and bottom-feeders, Eels, Cichlids, Koi, the ever-popular Goldfish, and many others.
Success in keeping fish hinges on research, fish diet, water quality, and the aquarist’s commitment to the well-being of the fish.
There is much to learn in the hobby, and beginners may feel slightly overwhelmed. It is important to familiarize oneself with the basic needs of the fish, the necessary equipment to house the fish and keep them healthy, and their dietary requirements.
