The Krib: Aquaria and Tropical Fish
This site contains information about tropical fish aquariums,
including archived usenet postings and e-mail discussions,
along with new articles and photographs designed specifically
for the web. The specialty here is freshwater aquatic plants and
dwarf cichlids, but you may find
information on a variety of subjects.
We are the oldest living aquarium web site, having been around since
January 1994. If this is your first time, you may wish to look at the
detailed subject index. It will
help you get an idea of where to find things here. Don't be fooled by
the simple front page... there are over 38 megabytes of information stored here!

What's New?
See Change Summary for a detailed day-by-day
description of new and changed pages. Selected items of particular interest:

the Diary o' DSL-Hell. No content updates, sorry.. yes I realize it's been over two years. Someday!
What's in a Name?
If you're interested, here's some background
on this site, its history, name, etc. I also maintain a couple
related sites you may also enjoy: the Greater Seattle Aquarium Society pages,
which features an archive of our locally-grown articles and photos; the Aquatic Gardeners
Association, dedicated to the keeping of aquatic plants in the
aquarium and pond; and also the FAQ (see below).

The fine print:
Articles, images and photos are copyrighted by their
respective authors. Many texts are public-domain Usenet postings,
but in general, please ask (e-mail) the authors before
redistributing.
All e-mail addresses here
have the @ (at) sign replaced by a
/ (slash) as or the word "-at-", a spam preventative. You will have to manually type the
address in to e-mail the person. I hate spam, and hate the idea of it being sent to someone because they
once wrote an article here.
