Introduction

As a complement to the Ponds and Water Life site (PAWL) I am writing some pages on the animals and plants that you may find. Since I also keep a normal tropical aquarium, many of these pages will be relevant to that. They will get written as I find interesting specimens and take relevant photos!

• Diseases

  • Muck that you filter from your aquarium gravel
  • Plants and animals that I can usually find and supply
  • Temperate plants in the tropical aquarium.
