The Think Tank

There are lots of things to think about when involved in the fishkeeping hobby.  This section is where we address some of those things, and encourage fishkeepers and all involved in the hobby to make themselves a little better informed.

In this section you’ll find articles aimed at raising awareness of the care requirements of various species of fish and other aquatic animals, as well as general information on key subjects within the fishkeeping hobby.  The subjects covered here are ones that we frequently see raised on various forums, so we hope the information we provide here helps to fill the ‘information gap’ that seems to exist.

As with our articles and guides, many of the subjects that we’ll be covering here are very important to us, and are a big part of why we started INJAF.
