FW temperate Fish

Do you remember your first goldfish? Most of us started in the hobby keeping temperate fish - and most of us wish we knew then what we know now ... Whether in a tank or in an pond, these fish remain quite popular. Yet, as they are mostly considered "hardy" enough to cope with all sorts of environmental conditions, they are often being kept in unsuitable environments.

The profiles in this section offer information which we hope will lead to the proper care of freshwater temperate fish.
