Did you know?

Summer causes water temperature to rise which means there’s less oxygen in the water!
Intolerant fish should be separated as fast as possible and returned to the shop immediately.
Angelfish and Discus fish are cichlids too! Not every cichlid comes from African or Central American regions.
Aquarium snails need normal food too; Carrot is perfect for them, it’s also loved by many bottom dwellers.
Sometimes driftwood won’t sink, so it’s OK to use aquarium silicone when attaching it to heavy rocks.
