Once an illuminated aquarium is installed, it becomes the focal point of the room. You will probably find that you actually spend a lot of your time just looking at your fish. It is usually fascinating to watch the brilliantly coloured exotic fishes weaving in and out among the rocks and aquatic plants.
There is something intriguing in this LIVING PICTURE which gives a glimpse of the mysteries of the underwater world and brings nature right into the home.
 As an expression of individuality, the arrangement of a tank normally gives the aquarist ample opportunities for personal artistic expression, hence no two aquariums are likely to be identical. The same situation holds for fishes. While some prefer to keep fish of one species only, others like diversity, and their tanks may harbor fishes from many parts of the world.
As an aid to education, possession of an aquarium affords the owner the opportunity to study the habits of fishes and their method of breeding. Some fishes give birth to live young ones.
It provides the owner the opportunity to study the habits of fishes and their method of breeding. Some fishes give birth to live young ones; others produce eggs. The aquarist who keeps these species will sooner or later have the opportunity to see the birth of these species. With the aid of a small breeding tank, he can watch the spawning, hatching, and development of egg layers.
Strange as it may seem, fishes soon learn to recognize their owner and treat him as a friend, coming fearlessly to his hand at feeding time.
In some forms of hospitals, particularly those for children, fish tanks in the wards have proved to be most beneficial as they create an interest and help to take the mind off pain.

IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL PLANTS I

                    WHY USE NATURAL PLANTS?       The use of live underwater plants in home aquariums has been fully explained and documented in many advanced countries of the world where the hobby "tropical fish keeping" holds a second place.          Majority of aquarium keepers in the country are fond of using plastic plants rather than real live aquatic plants. This could probably be the major reason for the unending fish deaths, cloudy water and the production of fetid odor from the aquarium water. In an effort to solve these problems I shall endeavour to put before the country's aquarists the true value of natural plants in the aquarium.          One of the most important functions of plants lies in the release of fresh 100% pure oxygen into the tank as a by-product of photosynthesis.           This aids fish-breathing and as a result the a...
