The Attraction of Fishkeeping

Basic Fishkeeping 1 Minute

 

You have likely seen at least one of the many TV shows regarding aquaria and keeping fishes. Most often these TV shows are about saltwater fishes (marine aquaria). You have also noticed in these TV shows that the aquaria are complex, most often quite large, and far from inexpensive. And yet, these TV shows have encouraged home aquaria and saltwater fishkeeping.

My upcoming book “SALTWATER FISHKEEPING: A Guide for Young Adults and Teens”, will assist you with learning a little bit about the science behind keeping a saltwater aquarium. And, it will provide you with the practical information that you need to setup and maintain the aquarium for your fishes in your home at a reasonable cost. Through years of development, many resources are available to you for success in keeping your marine aquarium than ever before.
