G arden Design
Explore the art of garden
design in this
comprehensive course. You
will learn the fundamental
elements of style, basic
techniques and professional
tricks necessary to design
the gardens of your dreams.

Professional garden design
is something that is
inspirational and is
essentially solving the
various logistical problems
associated with what you
have to work with, where to
position such items as
pathways, swimming pools,
tennis courts, water features,
flower beds and which plants
would be most suited. Good
garden design adds these
ingredients to create a style
in keeping with the site, the
house and your client's
requirements.

The whole process of design
begins long before you put
pen to paper. Your initial job
is to find out just what you
have and then what you
want to achieve based on
this initial fact finding.

Once this basic analysis is
completed, you can then
move on to the fun job of
preparing the design.

Feeding Your Tropical Freshwater Fish

You must know what your fish eat and give them nutritious food containing vitamins and
trace elements.

Some fish are carnivores, some herbivores, and there are also omnivores that eat both types
of food.

Limnivores are mud-eaters.

You must never over-feed the fish, as the remaining food is undigested and adds to the
debris on the floor of the tank. Over time, this decays and can cause disease in the fish.
Feeding excessive fat can result in liver problems, so avoid this.

You can choose from dry flakes and liquid food. Dry food is easy to store and retains the
vitamins until the expiry date. Moreover, it gives balanced nutrition and you can choose form
a variety of excellent quality dry foods. Most importantly there is little danger of
contamination and parasites with dry foods. You can choose from pellets, sticks, flakes,
wafers and granules and feed the fish different combinations, depending on their liking.

Food for Different Fish

Carnivores like live food like smaller fish and insects. They have a large stomach and a short
digestive system. You can feed them the flakes or live feed a few times a week. You can feed
herbivores vegetables, flakes and plant waste. They have a small stomach and a large
digestive tract and need regular feeding.

You can give omnivores flake, vegetables, and live foods.

Limnivores also have a large digestive tract and a small stomach and need constant feeding.
You can give them the pellets and algae.

Dry Foods for Different Fish

Dry food contains fats, proteins, fiber, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins in
the required proportions. Food for omnivores must contain at least 35% protein, 3% fat, and
3-8% fiber. The flake you feed carnivores must contain 45% protein, 3-6% fat, and 2-4%
fiber. You must give herbivores a good quality wafer containing at least 15% protein, 1-3%
fat, and 5-10% fiber. Largely dry foods work well for most types of fish and have a proven
safety record.

Living Food for Fish

Purchase live food from a reliable supplies shop to avoid contamination. Alternately, cultivate
cultures of worms at home to feed the fish. Some popular live feeds are bloodworms and
tubifex worms. Avoid feeding excessive tubifex worms as they contain albumen. Another
popular feed is daphnia as the fish love to catch them, though they have very little nutritional
value. Earthworms are suitable for large fish, but clean them thoroughly with freshwater and
cut them into pieces before feeding.

Vegetables

Some fish like carp feed only on algae. You can give them partially boiled spinach or lettuce
leaves, fresh peas or cucumber, besides the dried foods mentioned above.

Other Foods

Some fish like Cichlids, need pieces of meat or fish in their diet. You can feed natural fish to
the aquarium fish provided it is washed properly. Always feed saltwater fish to freshwater
fish and vice versa, to avoid external contagion.

Food for Fry

You can feed fry infusoria developed from cultures of animal and vegetable matter. You can
easily develop a steady supply of cultures for your fry.

You can breed brine shrimps from eggs available at an aquatic supplies shop. Keep them in a
dry area so that they hatch properly. Clean them with freshwater before feeding them to the
fish.

It is possible to cultivate micro worms on a culture of oatmeal easily. You can get a starter
culture from a shop and start breeding micro worms. When the worms appear after a few
days, you can feed them directly to the fish. You can have a steady supply of micro worms
with three containers.

Feeding While You are on Vacation

Install an automatic feeder and check it before you leave for a holiday. Alternately, ask a
friend to feed the fish and clean the aquarium while you are away. If going away for a week,
change the water and feed the fish. If you intend a longer vacation, it is advisable to hire
someone to maintain the aquarium where it will be constantly monitored and looked after.
