I need help learning about the fish?
I am for a promotion to pets dept. and am having to make a priority of learning about aquarium fish. Can anyone give me some suggestions on websites that have used or books that might be helpful and easy to use as a quick reference guide?
Be prepared for a steep learning curve! The world of Fishkeeping is a large industry with new things are discovered and invented all the time. I like the following sites: http://www.fishprofiles.com http://www.seriouslyfish.com http://www.theaquariumwiki.com http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk http://badmanstropicalfish.com Working in the animal / fish department will have a lot of dumb questions and a lot of "know everything" (but actually very bad) answers as well. Remember: Big fish tanks = very bad tank = very small fish tank in gallons = 40L/10 inappropriate for most Goldfish need for very large fish = very well filtered tanks BOWLS not EVER! Neither small tanks, these are great and a great waste of fish that should live for a long time. Bettas = not from puddles and do well in large tanks where fish is not an ongoing and aggressive tweezers or so strong as Gouramis and cichlids.
