What is meant by aquaristics?
Aquaristics provides all the products you need to create an aquarium biotope. From the aquarium to the technology such as filters and heating, but also all furnishings for a freshwater or saltwater aquarium are summarised in this category.
Aquaristics is an exciting hobby for young and old. An underwater world enriches any living space, and watching the fish has a calming effect.
Aquaristics is divided into seawater and freshwater aquaristics. The difference in salt content distinguishes these two bodies of water. Saltwater has a salt content of over 4%, i.e. there are 4 kilograms of sea salt per 120 litres of water. Fresh water is water that has a maximum of 0.1% dissolved salts. In the zones where a river flows into the sea, mixed water occurs — this is called brackish water, and the salt content varies. The salt content is constantly changing due to the ebb and flow of the tide.
What is an aquarium keeper called?
He is called as Aquarist, Fish Keeper, Aquarium hobbyist or Aquarium or fish enthusiast. A feminine form is not common. Ichthyologist (someone who studies fish) would actually be the perfect answer. To do well with aquaristics, you would have to study the fish and learn what works well to keep them optimally.
Incidentally, in the Star Trek film, the Aquarians are a group of people. They live in the sea and resemble our sea cows. They communicate via echolocation. Sound can travel five times faster underwater than in the air.
Whales and dolphins, among others, use this type of communication.
How expensive is it to keep a fish tank?
The price depends very much on the size of the aquarium and the technology. Fighting fish aquariums require almost no technology; it is even possible to operate the aquarium without a filter. Aquariums can also be operated fully automatically, with computers controlling the fertilisation and water values, topping up the water and controlling the light for sunrise and sunset. If you want to buy such a high-tech system, you will have to dig deep into your wallet.
But in aquarists, there is the possibility for every budget to acquire an underwater world and then enjoy the ornamental fish.
