Welcome to The Freshwater Aquarium, a public platform for discussing all aspects of freshwater fishkeeping. This includes tropical and coldwater fish and their care, aquatic plants, tank setups, filters, heaters, gravel, lighting, fish disease and anything else that applies to aquaria or ponds. We hope that you enjoy your stay here and join in with our community. In order to make the most of this group, please have a quick look at the Group Rules thread and the rec.aquaria FAQ.
