Did you know?

Most fish will prefer live foods over granules or flakes.
Newborns should be fed after their yolk sacs have been consumed.
Cryptocoryne nevillii and Cryptocoryne wendtii are excellent choices for foreground plants.
Fish ponds do need aeration as much as fish tanks do; A fountain often does the job perfectly.
Caves are a brilliant place for algae; Don’t remove it from caves – Algae is helping the filtration process too!
