Fish Keeping

I am into fish keeping from past 10 years so i would like to share my views and ideas about it with the viewers on my blog.


Fish keepers are often known as "aquarists", since many of them are not solely interested in keeping fish. The hobby can be broadly divided into three specific disciplines according to the type of water the fish tolerate: 


* Freshwater 
* Brackish

* Marine (also called saltwater) fish keeping

I would like to brief you about fresh water fish keeping, its advantages, maintenance and fish  breeds which you can easily find in a nearby pet store


Freshwater fishkeeping is by far the most popular branch of the hobby, with even small pet stores often selling a variety of freshwater fish, such as goldfish, guppies, and angelfish. While most freshwater aquaria are community tanks containing a variety of compatible species, single-species breeding aquaria are also popular. Livebearing fish such as mollies and guppies are among those most easily raised in captivity, but aquarists also regularly breed many types of cichlid, catfish, characin, and killifish. 

The above mentioned fish breeds are usually preferred by beginners..

As an experienced aquarist i would choose one among these two breeds which are known to be the best ornamental fishes..

* Arowana

* Flower-horn
