Live Saltwater Aquarium

Coupled with plenty of water changing, adequate lighting and low stocking density

Even with the smaller species you are still going to need a rather large aquarium. The tropical gar also is possible to keep in aquariums as it doesnt grow as large; however this species is very hard to find. The Cuban gar is a red-list endangered species and shouldnt be kept even if you somehow find one.

In aquariums gars are quite demanding and require a lot of space and clean water. I recommend you to use as big a tank as you can for your gar, and I wouldnt recommend keeping gars in an aquarium smaller than 200 Gallon/720 L. And that should be considered a minimum; a 400 gallon/1400 L tank is preferable.

Some aquarium manufacturers build tanks with a built-in wet-dry filter inside the tank against the back panel of the aquarium. These integrated filtration systems (IFS) work identically to the hang-on wet-dry filters, but have the advantage of having no siphon tubes or waterfall cups, so the look is cleaner.

Berlin Systems: A simple definition of a Berlin system is a wet-dry filter without the wet-dry chamber. These systems are designed without an

includes species that only seem to survive in an aquarium when kept in large shoals (schools), and those that are collected from deep water, often improperly

Rare: Folks! If it is next to impossible to FIND a fish in the wild, collecting that species is a sure-fire way to drive it into extinction! To us, keeping these species is very irresponsible. We have two words for people that disagree with this . . . BITE ME!

Please note that some species may be on the list for more than one or more of these reasons, but not all reasons are shown due to space limitations. In our opinion, one or two reasons alone are enough to avoid that species, unless

A ballast (transformer) is used to reduce the voltage that is used to power the bulbs. The ends of the lamp are electrodes or filaments through which electricity passes from each end of the lamp. The electrical current excites the rare-earth phosphors inside the lamp which then "fluoresce" or glow.

Fluorescent lighting is very efficient compared to incandescent lighting. It produces more light per watt and far less heat and so is ideal for gener
