 if they were kept under similar con- 

 ditions, and it is small wonder there- 

 fore, that many fanciers in their early 

 experiences lost specimens. 



Particularly during the breeding 

 season is the use of such a tank 

 appreciated. The young fish can be 

 placed in same and while the algae 

 grows on the plants the aquarium 

 itself can be kept perfectly clean. 



It is also quite possible, and most 



beautiful effects are created, by pre- 

 paring a cement bottom to the 

 aquarium, in which may be formed the 

 receptacle for the plants. This gives 

 a perfectly smooth surface for 

 syphoning off the tank, but precludes 

 the possibility of lifting out the plant 

 containers. 



Some very attractive aquariums 

 thus prepared were displayed at the 

 last annual exhibition of the B. A. S. 

 in the Museum on Eastern Parkway.
