Benefits
Keeping fish can not only
enhance the look of your living
room – it has also been proven
to lower stress. What could be
more relaxing than an aquarium
full of happy contented fish
displaying all the colours of the
rainbow? And just by following
a few simple steps, you could
own that very thing within
weeks.
But an aquarium can offer
much more than just vistas.
You can make it as easy or as
complicated as you like, and
your first step into fishkeeping
can soon evolve into an all
enthralling pastime.
The pitter patter
of tiny fins
Did you know that lots of
aquarium fish can be bred? If
you would like to breed fish,
how about some livebearing
fish, where the females of the
species give birth to live, fully
formed young. Special
foods and breeding
units are available in
store.
Or what about
some cichlids? These
colourful, intelligent
fish lay eggs and protect
them and the young fry
from other fish. Watching
a pair of Kribensis herd
a shoal of fry around a
furnished aquarium can
be a wonderful sight, and
educational too.
The colourful cichlids
of Lakes Malawi and
Tanganyika are very
popular because of their
bright patterns and the way
in which they breed. African
cichlid tanks are great for those
who want the look of a marine
tank, but aren’t ready to take
the plunge. Decorate with coral
sand, Ocean or tufa rock and
a marine scene can easily be
created.
Underwater
gardeners
For the more green-
fingered among you, how
about a planted aquarium?
A range of aquatic plants are
available and beautiful planted
aquascapes can be created
with the aid of some
extra equipment and a little
patience.
Or how about a biotope
aquarium where plants, décor
and fish from the same natural
habitat are used to create a
natural-looking scene from the
comfort of you armchair.
Live plants can benefit
fish of all types, providing
them with shelter, aiding
water quality and even
offering somewhere for fish to
breed.
