You are about to learn how to keep freshwater aquarium fish home happy and healthy, as if they lived in their natural environment. Hopefully you will come away from this site with a skeptical attitude when walking into a fish store. The products are on the shelves, but that does not mean you have to buy them! There are knowledgeable fish store employees, but many of them are repeating something they have read or heard without any real understanding.
Some of the advice in this site is new and fresh, and some has been around for decades. All of it is based on deep research and understanding of freshwater fish and their natural habitat.
If you are a beginner, this is a great place to start. If you are an experienced fishkeeper, you may find some advice that contradicts what you once believed. Please keep an open mind, as the principles in this site are tried and tested, with amazing results.  
There's a lot to care of freshwater aquarium fish, if you want to do it right, which you do if you're reading this. The biggest challenge of fishkeeping, is that we have to create the environment the fish live in. Heaven knows having a dog or a cat or a bird can be tricky, but we don't have to manufacture air for the pets or create gravity... But we have to maintain the watery world our fish live in.

It is a truly great hobby to keep any kind of pet, and freshwater fish offer so many great things to someone who is willing to learn. Never give up, and great rewards await you once you've got the basics down.
Thanks for visiting this site and I hope you enjoyed it!
