Welcome to the Fresh Water Fish Keeping website, where you will find great advice on one of the worlds most fascinating and involving hobbies.
After working in an aquarium for many years and keeping various types of fresh water fish since my childhood, I have the knowledge to share with you to begin this incredible pass time.
So I’m guessing you’ve just visited somebody with a spectacular aquarium setup? Or perhaps you’ve finally given in to your children’s pestering for a pet fish? What ever your reason for starting this hobby read the advice on these pages before you start sticking any old fish into an aquarium.
Fish keeping is a relatively simple hobby, but like anything that involves the care of living creatures you must follow some very simple rules and have a basic knowledge on the subject before you begin.
From this website you can learn a brief history of the hobby, a step by step guide to setting up your aquarium and some advice on the different sort of fresh water fish available. Set aside some time to read the information on this website and before you know you will be a knowledgeable and talented fish keeper.
