Aquaria

I own various aquariums, one 4ft long containing hard, alkaline water (from the tap), one 2ft long containing softer, neutral water (partly filtered over peat), an axolotl tank which is 3ft long, and a small Betta tank. Here you can read about the fish I have kept, issues I have encountered, and guides I have written.
