Aquarium Fish Care for Saltwater Fish and Tropical Freshwater Fish

Welcome to Fish Lore where we provide tropical fish, freshwater aquarium and saltwater aquarium information! Fish Lore was designed for the fish tank beginner to the tropical fish keeping hobby. We present freshwater fish, saltwater fish tank and aquarium care information in an easy to understand way so that more can enjoy this wonderful stress reliever that is known as aquarium fish keeping!

Below you will find our freshwater tropical fish tank and saltwater tropical fish tank beginner guides that will help you with your pet fish along the way. Hopefully, the aquarium beginner guides will help you learn the basics. For example, we hope you'll learn that you need to do some research before buying fish. Doing research before you purchase your livestock will prevent you from doing really short sighted things with your aquarium, such as trying to stuff a pacu into a 10 gallon tank, cramping a goldfish in a small goldfish bowl, putting big fish into a small tank, putting small fish in with larger more aggressive species or putting multiple male bettas in the same aquarium! These are obviously things we want to avoid and hopefully we can help get you going on the right track.
