Fish stores keep fish in different locations. And you may have wondered why. It's usually because fish are kept in different categories. These 4 categories are: saltwater, community, cichlids, and goldfish. Let's discuss each category. Most people are drawn to the saltwater category because of their uniqueness and their beauty. But saltwater fish are not real easy to take care of because they are very sensitive creatures. Especially if you want to keep them with corals and/or anemones. These creatures require skill in lighting and water chemistry. Beginners, you will want to probably try a freshwater tank first. This brings us to goldfish.

I am not very observant, at least that's what I have been told... by my wife. But I have to admit, I was really surprised when I observed some beautiful fish in the tank at my doctor's office recently. I know that the more attractive fish tanks contain saltwater, and the saltwater fish are much more colorful than freshwater inhabitants. But on this particular visit, I discovered some live discus fish that were not only freshwater creatures, but they were quite beautiful and colorful, too. I had a conversation with the receptionist about the discus aquarium fish, and she told me that it was not saltwater. But I did not believe her and she had to get someone else to confirm that it was a freshwater...

A lot of people place their goldfish in fishbowls.  This might be their worst mistake.  In reality, a goldfish requires quite a bit of oxygen.  In addition they produce waste quickly which means that a high level of harmful chemicals (ammonia in particular) is produced in a short time. Goldfish should be put into a larger aquarium tank in order to have a larger surface area.  Surface area allows for better oxygen exchange.  The larger surface area also allows for better waste breakdown.  It is suggested that smaller goldfish has 8 to 10 gallons of water each. The goldfish also does not tolerate sudden temperature changes very well.  The larger volume of water will create slower temperature...

Let's face it, water is the number one most important element on earth. Without it we will die within a few days. We love to drink water, we love to swim in water, we love to wash ourselves with the stuff and we even love to wet other people with it! However what most of us don't like is, when we spill water on our property and I bet you don't like getting soaked by the hose or unexpectedly being pushed into a freezing cold river on cool winter day. So it's safe to assume that although we all love water, we prefer using it when we want it and within our own control. One of the best ways of achieving this is by placing water in controlled units where we it can not escape unless we allow it to! As you...

Eradication of encrusting algae could be done simply by periodically scraping the sides of the aquarium or scrubbing the rocks. For those with plastic plants and a completely white gravel bed, the situation could be more tasking as it would be necessary to bleach the rocks to remove all traces of algae.

There has been a lot of hype in the drinking of distilled water now and in the past. Many health benefits have been accrued to drinking this supposedly. There are of course other significant facts about this type of liquid. The question then is how pure is distilled water. First of all the purest distilled water only comes from nature. Notwithstanding the recent polluted environments one can easily get distilled water easily providing you are not in an air polluted area. This of course is natural rain which is distilled in its purest form This is of course the opposite of mineral water. That is there is very little or lack of minerals in distilled water. Mineral water acquires its mineral and...

Betta fanciers know that female bettas are nowhere near as aggressive as male bettas - which is to say that they are not aggressive at all. This makes them perfect candidates for a female betta community tank. The important thing is just to keep in mind that not all community tank fish are as routinely peaceful as female bettas and other such fish, so those fish can and should be avoided. Firstly, let's look at the lowest water strata-the bottom. Since bettas don't normally congregate or hang around the bottom (they need access to the top of the water for atmospheric air), bottom-dwelling fish will do just fine as tankmates-provided, of course, they are neither aggressive nor large enough to eat the...

One of the greatest challenges in keeping aquarium plants is knowing them well enough to be able to read the signs of ill health. With a little research, it is easy enough to know what kind of lighting and heating to provide, but understanding water chemistry is another matter entirely. Water chemistry is the most complex aspect of live aquarium plant keeping, although plants will grow sick and die if they do not also have the right levels of heating and light. The specific needs of plants for the various different nutrients, light intensities and temperatures varies from plant family to family and also from species to species. To make matters even more complicated where plants are suffering from a...

It is still happening. Massive amounts of competition in the pond filter market and the battle for margin is resulting in pond keepers being bombarded with techno-speak in an effort to increase sales of highly priced pond filters. The latest product I came across prompted me to write this particular article although I've written about the subject many times. My chemical engineering background has helped me greatly in separating fact from fiction for many pond products. Over the last couple of years biofilters that use highly agitated water chambers containing plastic cylinders have come to the fore. These filters are quite expensive and they do perform well but are over-engineered for most garden...

With societal pressure over organic waste disposal and green house gas production, combined with landfill diversion targets, some are looking hard at how they are going to reach their goals. Composting projects are typically the best solution for instituting a landfill diversion initiative, but the fact remains that unless there is already a local composting facility who can receive the collected organic waste, few can afford building a new site. Starting a composting project is a lengthy process from the first group idea to actual implementation. There is a lot to absorb before a intelligent decision can be made. In addition to the entry cost for a composting project, community acceptance is key...

QUESTION: What is a good source for additional bio-filtration for my pond? I have a waterfall filter, and a veggie stream. I still think my pond can be clearer and there is a lot of sediment floating in the pond. ANSWER: A Hydro-pond filter is an excellent source of bio-filtration for a pond. It works a pre-filter for any pump intake and even as a stand alone filter. Sponge filtration is one of the most under rated forms of filtration for ponds and aquariums alike. When used and properly cared for, a sponge filter colonizes aerobic bacteria for ammonia and nitrite removal, and they make excellent mechanical filters, trapping a lot of floating debris.

Understanding your situation helps you decide what kind of fish are within your range for keeping as pets. The lighting and filtration needed in the tank, as well as other possible devices necessary for successful maintenance, vary with the biological load and the needs of the inhabitants including fish and plant life. A new fish tank needs to be cycled for it to become a healthy habitat for all its inhabitants. Cycling the tank refers to establishing the nitrogen cycle where beneficial bacteria convert ammonia from the fish waste into nitrates which are then converted to nitrites that are not harmful to the fish and can be used as fertilizers by plants in the environment. This can be maintained by...

Water, We Can't Live Without It We normally don't put much importance on water. It's all around us and we use it for a lot of things outside the body like washing clothes, our car, flushing toilets, diluting chemicals etc. In fact it's classified as a mild solvent. We don't stop to think that we only have so much of it. We are constantly recycling the water we have on this planet. There are no new supplies of water, it rains, the water is filtered into the ground and makes it to a pond or lake and evaporated back into the air and is carried somewhere else to make rain again. If we contaminate the sources of water on this planet with chemicals we will kill the human race. Our bodies are 78% water and...

Reverse osmosis systems in the home cost upwards of $10,000 and they are not the right choice for most people. Unless you have a well and you live near the ocean, there is no advantage to the reverse osmosis system. Advertisements say that they are the latest design, but they've been around for over 50 years. Large film processing plants use reverse osmosis systems, because they need de-mineralized water. Smaller processers use bottled distilled water. People shouldn't drink either. Drinking de-mineralized water will not cause immediate illness. But, it can lead to mineral deficiencies, according to researchers. We need potassium, calcium and other trace minerals. Water naturally contains these...
