I hope this is in the correct/best Forum

A new member asked me if I had a list of very good WWW sites where she could get reliable infomation and do some research on fish and plants. As you can see I am not refering to any other Fish Forums at all.
This member wants it purely for general knowledge not scientific knowledge for a Uni degree etc.

Thinking more about that something like this could be very helpful to all members.

I will do a bit of research myself and see what I have on my computer info file.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Erm, what kind of information? And what level of reliability? General knowledge? To me it's still kind of open-ended what is being asked for.

For example, www.fishbase.org is a good start for fish. Though generally reliable, they do tend to be outdated on some points and is sometimes unrelaiable. I could also say www.planetcatfish.com has articles written by a number of published authors such as Heok Hee Ng, an expert on Asian catfishes who also takes the time to write a few articles for aquarists. www.wetwebmedia.com includes information by the author Robert Fenner who has also published the book "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist". Wikipedia can be a good collection of information, depending on the article, but trust only as much as information as that which is cited (which may lead to other reliable sites).

I suppose you may also be able to find some such information on stuff like www.nationalgeographic.com if you can hunt through all their news items.

Just throwing some ideas out there.

The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

I would say good general knowledge suitable for beginner and advanced. One reason is unreliable LFS info which we have all come across.

Here is some I have found


Arizona Aquatic Gardens

[link=Nature Aquarium Galleries]http://www.adaeuro.com/default.asp[/link

Garden and Leisure UK

Planted Tank Resources

Planted Aquarium Pages

Calculating dosages of fertilizer elements for a planted tank

Hair (thread Algae)

Ah, for some reason I was under the impression that you wanted some non-aquarist information.

Some books are pretty good for information. Just dropping by the library and picking up a few books is a good idea.

www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk is pretty good, I think. I just surf there for current events mostly, but I think they have some good articles in there as well.

www.aquahobby.com has been around for a while. Some pretty good info there posted by users.

Here is another one it was posted today for diseases but it has plenty of other good info.
