What Fish Work With What Aquariums

It's the one thing I try to help clients with very early on. Getting the right fish for the right tank. Freshwater is easier, this is mostly about the Salt-Water environment.

New clients are always told to check with me before they put any fish in their tank...well, any fish I haven't purchased for them.

Not all fish are reef sale. Many will eat your corals, your shrimp, and cause some type of havoc in your beautiful tank.  Just because the fish store says it's okay to put in your tank...you should always ask the person that you trust and that has many years of trial and error experience. 

This link is to an article that talks a bit about fish and reef aquariums.

Reef Safe Saltwater Fish

Keep in mind that not even when historically the fish has been reef safe that fish have personalities, like we do, and some just don't work with what you've got.

You have to build your aquarium society with care...and knowledge.

Saltwater Aquariums, and More....

We've got Facebook, we've got Craigslist. Now we've got to blog....about fish.

These posts will be written by my wife, with my guidance. She's the author, I'm the fish guy!

I've been involved with aquariums since I was a young boy with the help of my dad. They always interested me.

I became a mechanic when I finished serving in the US Army, but always kept my hands in aquariums.

I've worked in, and helped set up, many retail stores over the years. Finally, with the urging of the wife, went full-time with my own fish business. Santa Clarita Valley Aquarium, Set-Up and Service....a little over a year ago.

The business has been good to me, but it wouldn't work unless I had the knowledge and experience that I do have.

So, I help people in many different ways with their aquariums. Yes, I do an occasional pond or two as well. The majority of my clients have salt-walter aquariums, a few have fresh water. And, most of my 'salt' clients do the infamous 'Reef Aquarium'.

You can see why. This is a clients tank out in Diamond Bar. I've got many to share.....

For now, enjoy the photo. You can find a lot more on Facebook. Of course, there are more that my wife keeps telling me I need to shoot pics of, but, I get so involved when I'm with my clients....I forget...my bad.
