Blog Action Day Post from an Aquarist
Aquarium Keeping and the environment. What can one say? And what can one not say? There are several issues dealing with aquarium and pond keeping and the environment.
1) Remember an aquarium and a pond is an environment. So practice responsible fish keeping and keep everything in balance.
2) One issue that has plague the aquarium industry is cyanide fishing of saltwater fishes. Do not buy fish caught with cyanide.
3) Endangered species. Do not buy endangered fishes. No matter how tempting or alluring the aspect of keeping one.
4) Always remember to be mindful of Mother Nature. We only have one planet.
5) I do not know if you notice it but if you view history. Human civilizations like those in South America collapse when their environment is abused. Then a few hundred or thousand years later Nature heals itself. We may not realize it but being eco-friendly is actually more for our benefit than for Mother Nature.
