When planning the stocking of an aquarium, you need to pay attention to many aspects. Not every fish that you like will be a good choice. Therefore, before you buy anything, explore their needs in terms of physical and chemical parameters of water. Find out what temperature range of water they live in, what pH and water hardness are suitable for them. Or maybe the fish you chose have some other specific requirements? Be sure to check it out.

Another very important issue is undoubtedly fish nutrition. Do not combine carnivorous and herbivorous species in the aquarium, as it will be difficult to provide them with an adequate diet at the same time.

Check whether the fish you choose are territorial, if they live in pairs, harems or flocks. Don’t forget to check what size they grow up to and whether you have the right  aquarium that will fit them. Reading the above tips, you may feel that choosing the right stock is a very complicated task. Yes, it is not always a simple one. However, we will try our best to introduce you to various interesting fish species and suggest well-functioning tank stockings so that you can enjoy a beautiful aquarium. In addition to descriptions of fish species, you will also find interesting material on their biology and functioning in the environment.
