For beginning aquatic fancier looking to start out right with fish, Freshwater Aquariums by David Alderton is the ideal primer. A vertebrate that breathe primarily by means of gills and swim by means of fins is the author’s lead-in to the first chapter called “What are Fish?” Alderton builds the reader’s confidence by providing solid information about what fish are anatomically speaking, how they evolved, how they breathe, how they move, where they live, and how they behave. The new fancier’s aquarium begins in chapter two with instructions on setting up the tank, including selecting the right size, figuring out how many fish, setting the tank, equipment, substrate, heating, lighting, filtrations, plants, water chemistry, assembly, and more. Choosing the freshwater fishes that appeal to the reader is the subject of “Introducing the Categories of Fish,” which schools readers in seven categories: Cyprinids (e.g., goldfish, minnows, and barbs), Characins (e.g., tetras), Cichlids (e.g., oscars, angelfish, and discus), Anabantoids (gouramis, bettas/Siamese fighting fish, and paradise fish), Toothcarps (guppies, swordtails, platies, black mollies, and killifish), Catfish, and others (loaches and Chinese algae eaters). The purchasing, maintenance, and feeding of fish are described in considerable details, and the author gives a basic overview of breeding and keeping fish healthy as well. Resources, glossary, and index conclude the book.

HAVE FISH OR YOU PLAN TO GET SOME? YOU DESPERATELY NEED TO READ THIS EBOOK! Here’s a teaser below to get you thinking…. i’ve gotta sell the book somehow right? Essential Equipment for a Freshwater Aquarium Setting up a freshwater aquarium is an exciting and fulfilling experience. Whether you are a parent looking to teach your children about responsibility, a hobbyist wanting to create a beautiful aquatic environment, or an adult seeking a calming and therapeutic activity, understanding the essential equipment for a freshwater aquarium is crucial for maintaining happy and healthy fish. Aquarium Tank: The first step in creating a freshwater aquarium is selecting the right tank. Consider the size of your available space and the number of fish you intend to keep. A larger tank provides a more stable environment and allows for a greater variety of fish. Filtration System: A reliable filtration system is essential for maintaining water quality. It removes harmful substances, such as ammonia and nitrites, keeping the water clean and safe for your fish. Choose a filter that suits the size of your tank and consider options like sponge filters, canister filters, or power filters. Heater: Most freshwater fish thrive in a specific temperature range. A heater ensures the water remains within the ideal temperature range, promoting the health and well-being of your fish. Select a heater with a built-in thermostat for precise temperature control. Lighting: Proper lighting is crucial for the growth of aquatic plants and the overall aesthetic appeal of your aquarium. LED lights are energy-efficient and provide a natural-looking illumination. Opt for a lighting system that mimics the day-night cycle to create a natural environment for your fish.
