Here are some notes on the care and feeding of a number of fishes and other creatures that can be wild-caught and kept in an aquarium. The size of each specimen is assumed to be 6" or smaller. This restricts some species to juveniles only. The groupings here do not imply any sort of relationships between the different species, only similarities in keeping.
