Don't leave the lights on too long. A common cause of algae. Phosphate, ammonium and nitrate aside, if you experience a lot of algae, you may simply have the light on for too long in your aquarium. Lighting is developed to be brighter than ever before, and is aimed at encouraging a particular response from your plants or corals, or to enhance your fish colours. If you are using bright lighting for plants, make sure that you have sufficient plants to out-compete any algae. As a general rule, small fish li...

http://mysadfish.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Don't mix the wrong fish. New fishkeepers tend to want a large variety of colourful, different looking fish, but not everything in the shops will be suitable. Choose a good aquatic shop with informative labels and always ask for advice. Write down the make and model of your tank, and how many litres or gallons it holds. Do your own research as well as asking advice from retailers. Read books and PFK to give you an idea of the sort of fish you wish to keep, and try the hardiest fish first. Float the unope...

Sad Fish: New to fishkeeping?
http://mysadfish.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-to-fishkeeping.html
The most important consideration when keeping fish is the fish themselves. These live animals are totally dependant on you to keep them alive and healthy. They demand the right care and respect, and it is your duty to offer them the best conditions that you can. Don’t stock too quickly. A common no-no. If you stock your tank too quickly, there will be insufficient bacteria to cope with the amount of waste being produced, and ammonia and nitrite will build up to toxic levels. You must not add fish within ...

Sad Fish: Don't forget to acclimatise your fish
http://mysadfish.blogspot.com/2009/05/dont-forget-to-acclimatise-your-fish.html
Don't forget to acclimatise your fish. This causes lots of confusion and you will hear differing opinions depending on where you shop. When you buy fish from a shop, you must tell them how long it will take you to get home so that the fish can be packed accordingly. Always take them straight home. Once home, turn the aquarium lights off. If the fish have been packed in the dark for several hours, expose them to the room light slowly so as not to shock them.

Sad Fish: Don't Overfeed Fish
http://mysadfish.blogspot.com/2009/04/dont-overfeed-fish.html
Overfeeding is one of the biggest causes of fish deaths. The type of fish that you keep will determine how often they should be fed. As a general rule, small fish like tetras and Guppies need feeding small amounts of food throughout the day. This can be as much as three times per day if your filtration and water changing regime is good. Larger fish can be fed less often, and once or twice per day is fine. Very large fish (60 cm/24”and over,) should be fed every other day. Posted in Dont overfeed fish.

Fish With Transparent Head. With a head like a fighter-plane cockpit, a Pacific barreleye fish shows off its highly sensitive, barrel-like eyes- topped by green, orblike lenses- in a picture released today but taken in 2004. The fish, discovered alive in the deep water off California's central coast by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), is the first specimen of its kind to be found with its soft transparent dome intact.
