What are the best sources of Info?

[Samurai Steve]

Hello All,
I am stuck in Japan and want to increase my knowledge of freshwater
fish/aquariums. Could you share with me the best sources/how you
learned? Information is pretty hard to find in this country, but I do
have access to internet book stores and the like. Several Dwarf
Gourami, Ballon Moria(?) and a Clown Loach would be gratefull for any
help.
Cheers.
Steve

www.thekrib.com is a great place to start!

This newsgroup is also a great place for information, however.. be
prepared to get 5 or 6 different answers for each question :)
Everyone does things different ways and has different opinions, so I
think you'd be best off following only one person's advice so you
don't end up mixing your advice.
The two things everyone seems to agree on are
1) You must cycle your tank. There are different ways to do this.
- fishless cycling
-- using ammonia
-- using fish food
-- using bacterial colonies from an exsisting/healthy tank (handful
of gravel, filter cartridge, etc)
- cycling with 2-3 small inexpensive hardy fish

2) You should have a hospital or quarantine tank for new fish/plants

Good luck!
