Aquaristics (science of keeping aquariums)

Aquaristics is the science and practice of maintaining healthy aquatic environments in aquariums. It involves understanding water chemistry, temperature control, lighting, and filtration to mimic natural habitats. Aquarists carefully select and care for fish, plants, and invertebrates, ensuring proper nutrition and compatibility. The goal is to create a balanced ecosystem that promotes the well-being of aquatic life while allowing observation and enjoyment. This field combines biology, chemistry, and environmental science to develop best practices for sustainable and thriving aquatic displays.
