While the health benefits of owning a dog or cat are fairly well recognised, you may be surprised to learn that caring for exotic fish can offer similar benefits! If you’ve ever thought about starting an aquarium, now is an excellent time to sit down and plan out the exotic fish tank of your dreams.

Many new aquarists jump into the hobby with little planning and simply fill their tank with anything that catches their eye. There’s nothing wrong with this approach but, if you want to create a spectacular tank, it’s better to build your aquatic community around a planned theme or point of focus. Once you’ve chosen a focus for your tank, it will guide you towards the right species and set-up for creating your ideal aquatic community.
