Freshwater is naturally occurring water on the Earth's surface in bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, and underground as groundwater in aquifers and underground streams. Freshwater is characterized by having low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids. The term specifically excludes seawater and brackish water.

Systems

Scientifically, freshwater habitats are divided into lentic systems, which are the stillwaters including ponds, lakes, swamps and mires; lotic systems, which are running water; and groundwater which flows in rocks and aquifers. There is, in addition, a zone which bridges between groundwater and lotic systems, which is the hyporheic zone, which underlies many larger rivers and can contain substantially more water than is seen in the open channel. It may also be in direct contact with the underlying groundwater.

What aggressive freshwater fish can I keep in a 10 gallon aquarium?

A. Why does everyone say betta...If you want a really cool fish that likes to fight and is a BIG eater, i would definetly say a dwarf puffer fish. They are so awesome, im gonna get mine some time this weekend. Your tank is the same as mine and is about the perfect size (5 gal per dwarf puffer, although i think i will only have one because 2 might be aggresive to each other and i dont have TONS and TONS of plants) Remember to do lots of research before buying ur dwarf puffer because they really are awesome. they actually learn to recognize you, and not a blurred thing that gives them food like most other fish do. you can even hand feed it if you want. Its a omnivore, meaning it eats both plants and meat, but it is much better for their diet if… [cont.]

A. You have to start completely from scratch. Get some books and study up before you buy anything. You'll need a pretty substantial investment to get started, but it can be fun. Good luck!

How to identify a freshwater or saltwater catfish?
Q. We live in an area with brackish water...so the catfish could be freshwater or saltwater. How do you tell the difference between a saltwater catfish and a freshwater catfish, based ONLY on it's physical appearance?
Asked by SnowWhite - Sat Jul 5 23:18:12 2008 - - 5 Answers - 1 Comments

A. The catfish you catch in brackish waters are of the saltwater variety, known as hardhead catfish. Freshwater cats couldn't live in the brackish water because of the salt content. You'd have to move mush farther inland to catch the freshwater catfish. Most saltwater cats aren't fit for eating. The exception would be the gaftopsail catfish.
