Species Guide


I have taken some different pictures and I decided to change the guide, with help from Micah Gates.

I have seperated the fish into proper family names. Here you can inspect them for yourself, and make decision on whether they are suitable for your aquarium or not. For each picture there is a small table of information: size at adulthood, where they originated from, ease of keeping, which food they like, are they friendly or aggresive and water temperature.

Cyprinids? Characins? These names just seperate the fish into a more organised way. Each page I have made gives a small description of each family.

If you want to borrow some of the pictures, please ask me first.
