Ok so I was looking up something online today and i found this insanely useful page.
www.wetwebmedia.com
it gives info on many fw/sw/brackish/ponds and aquarium planted tanks. one great feature of the site is that it gives wild animals habitats and needs. I believe that this is a start for anyone who decides to keep any type of fish, especially SW fish. I hope that the moderators leave this up here or at least make another thread that can inform individuals more about the hobby. thank you
