	Aquarium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition to the fish, invertebrates, aquatic plants, and decorations or "aquarium furniture" (all of which may or may not be natural neighbors of any of the fish) are typically added to these tank types.
		Fish can also be injured during the collection process itself, most notably during the process of using cyanide to stun reef fish to make them easier to collect.
		Fish, invertebrates, fungi, and some bacteria excrete nitrogen waste in the form of ammonia (which may convert to ammonium, depending on water chemistry) which must then pass through the nitrogen cycle.

	Fish
		Fish are in such intimate contact with their environment that one must ALWAYS assess any fish disease or mortalities in conjunction with water quality assaysand other environmental features.
		Fish with gill hyperplasia, such as seen with chronic ammonia exposure may subsequently suffer secondary bacterial or fungal infections.The gill filaments are often so inflamed and swollen that the operculi are unable to close.
		Fish (and invertebrates) are ectotherms reliant upon heat from their surroundings to support their metabolic processes.

	ACVC 2001 - Important Infectious Diseases of Ornamental Fish
		The majority of bacterial fish pathogens are natural inhabitants of the aquatic environment, whether it be freshwater or marine.
		Fish which are affected are sometimes said to have "Salt and Pepper" disease since the cysts become pigmented and the uplifted scales appear especially white or shiny.
		Tropical fish commonly act as an intermediate host in a cestode's life cycle and encysted tapeworm larvae called procercoids can be found in the coelomic cavity of tropical fishes.

	Production of Ornamental Aquarium Fish
		Ornamental fish are also kept in tanks more than their food fish counterparts, and under tank conditions, water quality is most critical.
		Because the ponds and tanks in which ornamental fish are kept tend to be small, and because of the large variety of fish in any one facility, disease management takes a considerable amount of a manager's time.
		Tropical ornamental fish comprise a varied list of species, each with their own peculiar requirements for commercial production, and markets for these fish are as varied as the fish themselves.

	Oregon Sea Grant - Ornamental Fish Health Newsletter 3.1
		If the new fish is a virus carrier, you would rather have it break with the disease in your quarantine system rather that in your pond(s) or tank(s) with your other fish.
		Since many fish may adapt to disease agents in their home pond or tank, this allows for any potential diseases the new fish may be carrying to pass to this "local" fish or any diseases the "local" fish may be carrying to pass to this new fish.
		If you have a large number of new fish and are having significant losses, consider submitting a few of the sick fish to a veterinary or aquaculture diagnostic laboratory for a proper disease diagnosis.

		Fish, frogs, tadpoles and other guests all contribute to the health of your pond, acting as living filters and pest control.
		While the fish seldom totally change their color, color is greatly affected by what you feed your fish.
		Because the fish are captive in an artificial environment, it is important that you provide a high quality food designed for captive fish.

	OFI - Conservation Benefits of Wild Capture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		According to trade sources, the majority of freshwater fish in trade are derived from captive breeding or aquaculture, while the majority of marine fish are collected directly from the wild, although, as with any rule, there are exceptions to this.
		This ornamental fishery, which is dependant on maintaining large areas of floodplain habitat and fishery, has provided a subsistence income to local fishers since the 1950's.
		While the wild collection of freshwater fish for the ornamental trade may provide incentives to help maintain freshwater habitats, it can only do so provided that the harvest does not exceed sustainable levels and if frameworks are in place to ensure that the economic benefits from the harvest are shared equitably among the harvesters.

	Home-Guidelines For Selecting Ornamental Fish
		The selection of the fish type that you would like to keep and care for is critical to other decisions you may have to make about size of tank and equipment.
		Be also conscious of the fact they your fish will grow and so plan tank sizes for their adult size not the size they are when you first buy them.
		There is some credence in the belief that fish will grow in proportion with the size of the tank, however if you feed the animal the type and amount of food it requires for growth and maintain the optimum water quality, then most fish will keep growing to their genetic maximum.

		Community aquariums house between three and thirty non-aggressive fish in a tank that ranges from 20 to 50 gallons and up.
		When mixing aggressive species in a single aquarium, choose fish of comparable size and make sure you add some structure (plants, driftwood, etc.) so the animals can “stake out” territory and hide, if necessary.
		For the most part, fish aren’t social creatures and don’t require contact with others, except to reproduce.
