Researching Your Fish
By: Maverick
Research is the most important thing you will do when setting up your tank. I can't tell you everything you need to know about your fish, but I CAN tell you what to look for. When choosing your fish there are certian things you need to know about it. I'll list a few of the most important things to look for. Just remember, this list isn't perfect, nor am I, so if you feel you need to know more about your fish, you probably do!
