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 our FAQ pointer and rules.   There are also links to some of the better Internet aquarium resources on the FAQ pointer page.  We have a growing archive as well.

We've also set up a list of member homepages.  Feel free to add your personal aquarium or pond homepage to the list, update your listing, or fix broken links.
