Picking Your Clownfish
You wouldn’t believe how many times I have been brought a betta bowl and asked “How many Nemos can I put in this?” No kidding, once a week at least! Now, these people are usually steered toward the bettas with no trouble at all especially after I start on the list of equipment needed to house just one Nemo. Needless to say, most of us know that keeping a clownfish has much more to it, than just a bowl of water. This article isn’t about what it takes to keep a...

It’s been argued that reef aquariums cannot inspire enough positive change to offset their environmental cost. As aquarists, we often argue that reef tanks can show young people the underwater world in vivid detail and perhaps persuade them to defend it. Critics argue that chances are, most that are exposed to reef tanks will be un-affected and certainly not inspired to fight to save our oceans. I have always disagreed with that sentiment. It was marine aquariums that inspired me to learn to...
