My Theory of Fishkeeping

[Aquamick]

I've come up with a theory of fishkeeping relating to the number of aquarists in certain areas keeping certain fish;

'The further distance you go from the original location of a fish, the more aquarists you will find keeping that fish'

For example, it is unlikely that people living on the banks of the Amazon will keep say, Corydoras, but more likely that an aquarist in Australia would. What do you all think?

Yeah, that's true. I've seen that alot in many different households across the globe.

Good theory...but I am an exception as always...

I'd love to have a marine tank with as many different species of fish from the Great barrier Reef as possible....and considering I live in australia....thats where I don't fit!!

As usual!!!

Yeah but you also have the most diverse range of fish in the world to choose from.

Not many native British fish that would go in a tank and of the ones that would, not many that would be that colourful that you'd want to.

The thing that made me want a tank was I saw a fish whilst diving in the Red Sea that was half black and half white split vertically and I loved it. It is a marine fish though so I can't have one and I'm not ready for marine tanks yet.

I for one don't feel the need to keep anything captive at home that I can see wild on my doorstep (country)

Another rule is that it seems people always want to keep the wrong fish for their tapwater, people in areas with hard alkeline water should keep African Cichlids but usually choose fish from the Amazon basin which require soft acidic water and those with the soft acidic water normally choose the African Cichlids when they should be keeping soft water species
