Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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.

Download or read book Aquarium Making Fishkeeping and Maintenance written by Mundy Obilor Jim and published by JimArts. This book was released on 2019-02-23 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, fish have been found worthy of keeping as pets or in captivity by people and the interests have grown continually due to the many fun ways of making the aquarium and caring for the fish. Fish has become one of the most popular pets in many parts of the world. Fish-keeping has been advanced in recent decades with fancier and easier methods and even the breeding of fish for pets has improved greatly in terms of techniques. This book is for both experienced fish-keepers who have had aquariums for a considerable period of time and for new aquarium hobbyists alike. It is for those who want to build and set up their own aquariums and for those who wonder how they can dismantle the aquarium accessories and still be able to set up the aquarium to function appropriately. It also aims at teaching how to properly maintain an aquarium; feed the fish adequately, and know when they are sick or need attention and take good care of them. A lot has been learnt about different types of fish that can be nicely kept as pets in aquariums. We now want to keep beautiful fish like the goldfish, those with striking colours such as the zebra danios and even the odd-looking ones like the leaf-fish and longnose. We have come to know fish which can survive long in aquariums, types of environment that favour some particular fish, compatibility of fish, etc. The book will surely serve as an elaborate guideline which I believe will also enable anyone interested in the aquarium hobby to benefit from and even study further, especially in deeper areas like breeding. It starts with the make-up of an aquarium in chapter 1. Chapter 2 renders several crucial tips while chapter 3 dwells on feeding and gives some tips on breeding. No one will ignore the challenges or common problems and diseases associated with keeping an aquarium and these are treated in chapter 4. The most commonly kept aquarium pet, the goldfish get chapter 5 and finally, in chapter 6, a step-by -step approach in setting up an aquarium is outlined; and this will help those who just want to set up an aquarium right away. First published as an eBook, the book contains new sections and updates to existing sections. In addition, a set of exercises and multiple-choice questions have been added at the end of each chapter to help students and hobbyists alike.
