I hope you find Badman's Tropical
Fish useful and entertaining. It has many sections on the
care and upkeep of most of the tropical fish we keep today.
I also have tried to make it as interactive as possible. Here
you find various polls and forms to add your knowledge to
the site. As such it will always be fresh and there is always
something new. Spend some time and explore! All questions
should be posted on the site's forum
These sections will give a brief
definition of the most common fish families along with a general
description of the tank requirements needed to maintain them.
More specific and detailed information,
ranging from an individual fish species to water requirements.

research tool.
