Whether young or old, beginner or advanced: aquarium enthusiasts are always flirting with new fish species. After all, tropical freshwater fish with their dazzling colours and fascinating behaviour make the aquarium an exciting nature experience.

The fish expert Dr Ulrich Schliewen offers compact knowledge on around 300 fish species in the large GU Aquarium Fish Compass from A to Z - sorted by German species names for beginners. Each fish portrait contains all the important information - from their way of life in the wild, to their husbandry requirements in the aquarium, to care and socialisation tips. Coloured buttons show the required tank size and water temperature at a glance. The most popular shrimps, crabs, crayfish and snails for the aquarium are presented in portraits in an extra chapter.

It has strong antioxidant properties that protect cells from stress and inflammation, promoting fish health. Catappa leaves also contain natural plant dyes that provide more intense and vibrant fish colors. Catappa-X therefore focuses primarily on color enhancement and health promotion. Humin Pro+ is a combination of fulvic and humic acids - organic molecules formed from the decomposition of plant and animal material found in soil, peat, streams and natural waters. Humic acids can replicate the tropical water conditions found in the natural habitat of many aquarium fish. Humin Pro+ is particularly recommended for tropical fish, while Catappa-X is suitable for all fish species. In addition, humic substances stimulate enzyme activity not only in fish, but also in plants and microorganisms in the aquarium. Aquatic plants can absorb nutrients more efficiently, while beneficial microorganisms continue to thrive - ensuring a healthy and stable ecosystem in the aquarium.

But be careful: as soon as waterworks work on the pipe system, it is then heavily chlorinated for disinfection. And even if no chlorine is added to the tap water, disinfectant substitutes are often added to make the water low-germ drinking water. JBL Biotopol is highly recommended for this purpose and especially for neutralizing heavy metals. A special feature of JBL Biotopol is the valuable ingredient aloe vera (a plant extract), which effectively protects the skin not only of humans but also of fish.
