• Not really a killifish article: Joe,, an old friend, is something of a rabble rouser and the topic of aquarium water is especially dear to his heart.  His contention is that we are often being waltzed down the garden path by aquarium product companies and the more water conditioners we add, the worse off our fish will be.  He hasn't said it, but the phrase "we keep water, not fish" ight apply.  http://www.tbas1.com/TBASpdf/May2009.pdf 

Several of these websites are not in English, though some will have English versions.  Babelfish translation, available through www.altavista.com  or http://babelfish.yahoo.co./  makes the whole process a lot easier, except for the occasionally uproarious malapropism.

Madeleine Bordallo (D-Guam) Chair of the Subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife of the House Natural Resources Committee would totally revamp how nonnative species are regulated under the Lacey Act.  As written, H.R. 669 would severely limit the importation of most species of tropical fish. Please GOOGLE : H.R. 669 for the complete text of this legislation.              

The following article discusses setting up a basic aquarium. Filtration, heating and choosing the fish are some of the topics covered.
The Eastern Iowa Aquarium Association advice begins with setting up the aquarium long before you purchase the fish. Getting off on the right foot can help make fish keeping an enjoyable experience.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
1. A 20 gallon aquarium or larger is a good starting point, a 10 gallon just isn't large enough to support more than a very few fish in a healthy environment.
2. An undergravel filter with 1 1/2 inches of fine natural gravel for biological filtration...

An unusual study, done by scientists from the Department of Applied Hydrobiology at the Agricultural University of Athens, Greece, shows that classical music can enhance the growth of fish.  To read more about this, click on:  http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/pfk/pages/item.php?news=1869 . __________________________________________________
