Because evaluation of the entire environment will be needed, an on-site evaluation is ideal. If this is not feasible, instruct clients to provide high-quality photographs and videos of the aquarium environment, including all life support equipment.<\/p>\n

General categories of fish keepers range from single-tank owners and multi-tank hobbyists, pond enthusiasts to breeders, retailers, and wholesalers. Additionally, understanding the client’s goals is critical to guiding appropriate care and management.<\/p>\n
