This will be a one on one class via a socratic method which uses students' understanding of fishes natural habitats and how they can be best replicated in a home aquarium. Visuals of the nitrogen cycle, the carbon cycle, and details regarding the solubility of oxygen gas will be shared via colorful slideshow created by my aquatic science students. Details will be provided on the benefits of bacteria in the aquarium and how the process of the nitrogen cycle is key to keeping new fish alive. A fish compatibility chart will also be provided students will learn how to read it. Introduction Share your aquarium experience Aquarium size - is bigger better? Cycling aquarium - How, when, why? Plants and Decorations Selecting compatible tankmates Questions and Answers The remaining class time will be spent troubleshooting any problems the student is having with their aquarium setup, and learning about the basics of fishkeeping including medicine, treatments, and adding new fish.

I am the Vice President of the Aquarium Society and have kept fish my entire life. I maintain between 24 and 36 aquariums and aquaponics systems throughout the year with a variety of tropical, saltwater, freshwater and brackish fish. I am a certified aquatic science instructor and have taught that subject in both Texas and North Carolina. I am also the sponsor for the Aquarium club at the high school where I teach. I love to use my aquariums to teach biology, chemistry and even physics and math!Reviews
