The water chemistry of freshwater fauna
Article Abstract:
Use of central water systems or individual aquaria in fish stores depend on the nature of the fish and the chemistry of the available water supply. Fish must be maintained in the same conditions in which they are found in nature. Brackish fish tolerate freshwater better than marine water. Black or acid-water fishes such as wild angels and discus thrive in highly acidified water with few minerals. Temperate fish like goldfish and kois prefer water temperatures of 55 to 65 degress fahrenheit. The municipal water supply is usually safe and may be used after adequate dechlorination.

Facing the hectic season
Article Abstract:
Pet specialty retailers must stock up and display supplies and equipment for wild bird feeders and pool and pond keepers just before the winter season. Pool and pond keepers have to gear up for the cold weather while wild bird lovers plan and install their feeders to entice the migratory birds. Feeders would also need seed, grains, berries and fruits. If these animal lovers know that pet specialty retail shops already have the supplies they need for the winter, they will not bring their business to hardwares, garden and feed shops or groceries.

Build beautiful business by selling beautiful designer set-ups
Article Abstract:
The custom aquarium business is one of the most profitable areas of the pet industry. However, due to its many potential pitfalls, it has remained underexploited. Displays of designer aquaria will attract customer interest and from this, a retailer can either sell an existing setup or have a builder construct one. Attention to the placement of the tank and the finer details of its design are crucial to its success. Maintenance is an important consideration, particularly for long-term clients.
