Tropical fish tanks
Tropical fish tanks can be smaller than their salt water cousins. The advantage of being able to start small means you can gradually build up to bigger tanks and relegate the smaller fish tanks as a quarantine fish area to put any new fish you would want to introduce. However, for impact and
just plain stupefying effect, there's nothing like a big fish tank to take your
breath away.

Tropical fish are well...tropical, so they do fare better when they are kept within 'tropical' water temperatures. So give your tropical fish a bit of thought and consider heating if you live in temperate regions where the temperatures fall below zero in winter. Putting a tropical fish tank right up near a window isn't advisable - the temperature will fluctuate wildly and not to mention the algal growth on the sides of the tank that you'd be encouraging.
Site the fish tank away from 'running' traffic - kids will run and they will bump into things. Also consider the fact that having spills and drips won't go well with carpet - tiled areas make it a lot easier to do water changes - especially if you are planning to do the water changes in situ.

Vet question of the day

Dog digging carpet
My dog (5yo female neutered Blue Heeler mix) is outside during the day and inside at night. I've only had her for 6 months- I got her from a friend. During the past month, she started scratching at our carpets ruining them. She only scratches them around the walls never in middle of the floor. Why is she doing this and what can I do to get her to stop?
