Beginner's Guide to Freshwater Aquariums: Simple Tips to Create and Maintain Your Freshwater Aquariu

Maybe you can relate... You just bought or are about to receive your new fish friends. Excited, you rush out to make a perfect home for the newest member or members of the family. You find yourself in front of a wall of options. So many different tank sizes, so many accessories... water conditioner, PH balance, stocking options? The opportunities are endless and can become hard to manage.

All things surrounding purchasing your new fish friends can be extremely overwhelming. Researching online for the perfect environment to put your scaly finned roommates in can often just lead to more confusion. So, it is not just as simple as putting my little guys or girls in some water and decorating it how I like?

Unfortunately, no. But by following the simple advice in this book, it does not have to be a painstakingly tricky endeavor. Just like any other pet you have, caring for freshwater fish takes time and dedication. When I was a child and first got interested in fishkeeping, I did what many others have done and cringe to think about now. I was gifted a Betta from my parents, and I kept it in a tiny cup with no filtration or water movement. Needless to say, he sadly only lasted a few months.
