Introduction to Aquariums


It's actually amazing that fish can survive in an aquarium at all. Compared with their natural habitats -- from jungle streams to vast lakes -- even a relatively large aquarium is tiny. An aquarium also has several built-in limitations that work against the health of its occupants. No matter how extravagant and no matter how carefully planned, any aquarium is an artificial environment.
Aquarium water quality deteriorates for several reasons. As a part of their metabolism, fish produce various waste products that accumulate in the water, and other organic matter such as uneaten food decays into substances that can contaminate the water.
