If you want a pet that you can "pet" a fish is not right for you. But if you are allergic to fur and still want some company at home, and if you like to watch animals in their natural habitat, then a fish sounds like a great idea.
You may have been impressed by an aquarium you have seen recently, or perhaps you are looking for an interesting spare time activity. You may not realize it, but you are standing at a crossroads! Ahead of you lies not just a new hobby, but, provided you take the right path, a lifetime of enjoyment and a host of new friends. The other roads, however, lead to disillusionment and disaster, and yet another "aquarium for sale" advertisement in the local paper.
The key to success is always to know what you are doing before you start doing it. From the fishes' viewpoint it is irrelevant that you are only a beginner if you don't get it right then they will be at best stressed, at worst dead. The moment you acquire a fish you become responsible for its welfare.It is easy to decide that owning an aquarium would be a nice idea, but it can be difficult to know just where and how to start. So we are here to help.
