> 2. What Are the Aquaria FAQs?
>
> FAQs are answers to the Frequently Asked Questions relating to
> knowledge of modern fishkeeping and general Newsgroup usage. We like
> to think that the Aquaria FAQs are especially important because we are
> in a hobby that deals with live animals, and as such it is imperative
> that information on fishkeeping be easily available and as accurate as
> modern findings dictate.
>
> So often people buy a new aquarium and a group of fishes before doing
> research into the hobby and finding out what is required to keep fish
> alive and healthy. Additionally, there has always been the notion
> afloat that they are "just fish" and it doesn't matter if they are
> unhealthy or die. It is the goal of the FAQs to dispel this notion and
> to make information relating to fishkeeping easily available and
> understandable, particularly to new fishkeeping hobbyists. People that
> are experienced aquarists will find a wealth of helpful information
> here, too!
>
> 3. Newsgroup Usage
>
> Included in the Aquaria FAQs is an extensive section on newsgroup
> usage, written by Todd Zebert. Here you will find information on
> etiquette, posting guidelines, and other helpful topics. It is very
> important to read this document before posting to the *.aquaria
> newsgroups!
>
> 4. Where are the FAQs located?
>
> In years past, the entire text of the FAQs was posted periodically to
> the aquaria newsgroups in addition to news.answers. However, for the
> purpose of brevity and for ease of use, it has been decided to post
> links to the websites containing the FAQs in the body of this
> introductory message instead of the FAQs themselves.
>
> The FAQs are located at:
> http://faq.thekrib.com
> http://www.actwin.com/fish/mirror/
