[ci]Give a brief introduction on the fish. Explain the ups and downs of owning them. What role they might fill in the aquarium.

[bcui]Appearance
[ci]What does the fish look like? What different color variations of the fish exist? Will the fish display different colorations depending on the situation? What different fin and tail types does the fish have? Will the fish’s color improve with the addition of color enhancing foods.

[cbui]Geographical Range and Habitat
[ci]Be as specific as possible. Listing the country they come from is acceptable but if the river is specifically known please list that as well. Provide the locations this fish has been introduced to through human interference if the species has been artificially introduced to a specific location. Discuss the temperate range of that location. Discuss their salinity level in the body of water they come from. Explain their natural behavior in the wild if relevant to their care in aquaria.

[cbui]Healthy Behavior
[ci]Do they require schools? Do they benefit from having more of their own kind? Can they not be kept in certain specific numbers? Where do they spend their time in the aquarium? How do they normally behave? Are they diurnal or nocturnal? How intelligent are the fish? Can they be trained? How long is the fish’s memory?

[bcui]Tank Set Up
[ci]Does this fish’s range in temperature make it require a heater? How much flow will benefit the fish? Will they benefit or be harmed by different types of substrate? Does the coloring of the substrate change the fish’s color scheme? Are they plant safe? Do they jump and require a lid? Does their bioload require them to have stronger filtration? Are they reef safe? Do they require any type of added ornament in the tank? Will the fish redecorate the tank on its own? Does the fish require a mature tank?

[cbui]Tank Maintenance
[ci]Explain the maintenance it takes in a daily, weekly and monthly basis to care for the fish. This includes water changes, feeding schedule, feeding amount, gravel vacs and whether algae will need to be scraped.

[cbui]Hardiness
[ci]How hardy is the fish? Is it forgiving when a keeper misses a water change? Does its temperature range? Is it especially susceptible to disease?

[cbui]Diet
[ci]Is this fish a herbivore, omnivore or carnivore? Will they prey on smaller fish or invertebrates in the aquarium? Will they be outcompeted for food? Will they eat the plants in the aquarium? Will they outcompete others for food? Do they have difficulty eating man made food and need to be converted to a flake or pellet food? Do they require specific foods to survive? Will their colors benefit from specific foods? Do they have any dietary restrictions.

[cbui]Compatibility
[Ci]Is this fish aggressive? Is there a way to alleviate their levels of aggression? Will they nip at other fish? Do they set up hierarchies? How personality driven are they? Will they interbreed with other species? Are they safe with invertebrates?

[cbui]Imported vs Wild Caught
[ci]Is this fish commonly bred in aquaria? Can they be bred in aquaria? Are they mainly wild caught? What differences vary between wild caught and captive bred variations of the fish?

[cbui]Sexual Dimorphism
[ci]Do they physically differ depending on gender? Will different genders display different behavioral traits?

[cbui]Differing Internal Functions(Not required if non applicable)
[ci]Discuss any internal functions that may differ from other fish that relate specifically to their care and requirements.

[cbui]Negative Chemical Reactions(Not required if non applicable)
[ci]Will this fish react differently to some medications or fertilizers? Why does the fish react this way?

[cbui]Negative Genetic Modification(Not required if non applicable)
[ci]Has this specific been line bred by humans? Have they been negatively impacted by inbreeding? Are they hybrid fish? Were they injected with hormones to achieve brighter colors? Do they live less due to genetic interference? Is their size different because of genetic interference? Have they been blinded by genetic interference? Do they develop any diseases specific to their species because of genetic interference?

[bcui]Invasive(Not required if non applicable)
[ci] Provide the locations this fish has been introduced to through human interference if the species has been artificially introduced to a specific location. Is this fish potentially harmful to the balanced ecosystem of those locations?

[cbui]Permits and License(Not required if non applicable)
[ci]Does this fish require a license or permit to own? What government agency issues the license? Why does the fish require a license to own? What is the potential sentence for owning this species without a permit or license?

[bcui]Special Requirements(Not required if non applicable)
[ci]Does this fish have any special care that differs from most fish? What is that care? How does that care affect the difficulty of keeping the fish?

[bcui]Common Misconceptions(Not required if non applicable)
