Wales: Be Careful When Buying a Fish - It Could Grow into a Monster - By HYWEL TREWYN

A NORTH Wales aquarium is warning parents not to buy fish for their children - without doing their homework first.

An interesting story. This is all too common, especially with fish such as Pacus (as shown above), but also with goldfish, as goldfish are best in aquariums over 30 liters per fish (8 + gallons). These fish also will require a much more regular and thorough cleaning schedule (the Aquarium Cleaning Machine is an excellent device for larger aquariums with high bio load)

A Fish Forum- A great forum for all aquatic discussions, but real expertise with every aspect of Betta care. Great people too!
