Keeping pet fish in a home aquarium is a fun and rewarding experience. Goldfish, for example, have been kept as ornamental pets in homes for hundreds of years, originating in China around 960 BC.

Today you can now choose from hundreds of types of fish, that come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colours, and each has there own personality and character. Breeds from the Great Lakes of Africa, or the jungles of South America to the coral reef fish of the Pacific, you can bring a little piece of the underwater world into your living room with a home aquarium.

There is nothing more relaxing than to sit in front of your fish tank and watch the antics of your very own pet fish. It is like an underworld city and you can create it!
