scientific name, and family.

Fish Web Rings
The Aquaria (two different ones) and Tropical Fishkeeping Web Rings can be accessed from my
homepage.
The Fishkeepers, Tropical Fish Jungle, Freshwater Aquarium Site, FishGeeks.com Aquaria,
Glimmering Goldfish, and Ichthyophilia Web Rings are at the very bottom of this page so that if
there is a problem with the Java code, it will not interfere with the rest of this page.
There are supposed to be two rings below but for some reason, they will not come up anymore
even though the code is here!
Go to the these links to learn about these torture cells and what you can do to
help. If you own one, the information will help you properly care for them.
