Author Description

Ornamental fish keeping and its propagation has been an interesting activity for many, which provide not only aesthetic pleasure but also financial openings. In Bangladesh, about 80 exotic fish species were found with their decorative value, but in most cases, aquarists and transporters get problem during their rearing and transportation due to having no knowledge on their feeding management technique appropriately. As exotic ornamental fishes have to transport at long distance without feeding condition, therefore stress becomes arise due to starvation and leads to weak and death. This book provides some general information on survival performance, weight loss and behaviour of some freshwater exotic ornamental fish species under starved condition in aquarium and also provides physico-chemistry data of aquarium water under that condition. This book would be beneficial for aquarists, transporters, researchers, and other people related to this subject.
