Aquaria Fish 
should not be kept in the strong sunlight or it will 
become filled with green slime, which is a low form of 
vegetation. 
Now our aquarium is ready for fish, or any other 
water creatures, and all the attention it needs is to 
replace the water as fast as it evaporates. 
Many people like to make fancy aquaria by placing 
in the bottom stones, volcanic rock or sea shells. 
This can be done according to the owner’s taste, but 
renders the aquarium more difficult to clean. 
For cleaning waste matter from the aquarium, 
we should be provided with a glass dip-tube or pipette 
of a length to reach to the bottom. A shallow, flat- 
bottomed dip-net is useful in removing the fish when 
the aquarium is to be cleaned. This net need not 
be more than four to six inches across, depending 
upon the size of the aquarium and fish.
