Learn About How Freshwater Fish Behave and Survive in the Wild
The activity and the dramatic swirling colors of tropical fish may be what initially draws most newcomers to the fishkeeping hobby, but once the home aquarium and its inhabitants are established then it is very often the fishes' behavior patterns that intrigue. Watching the fish can often provoke questions in the minds of their owners, such as “Why is my fish behaving like this?” or “How does it do that?” Understanding the “hows” and “whys” of freshwater fish behavior brings a whole new dimension to the hobby.
