A young barb, likely a Rainbow Shark (Epalzeorhynchos erythrurus) swims in his new fish tank. The orange discoloration on this fish's head is of concern, but he may outgrow it with proper care and diet.

"I was given my first tank in 1966 when I was 7. I have had a tank ever since then for the most part. I wish I had came across all this great information at that time. You site is great and I like the common sense approach to the hobby. Over the years I have learned that most pet shops make it more difficult than it has to be. Your site will help overcome allot of wasted time and effort. Thanks for the effort to help new comers into the hobby and have a good experience."
