Create A Beautiful Aquarium with Ease

(NAPSA) - It's no fish story: You can surround yourself with beauty and indulge in relaxation when you own an aquarium.

This "living art" is an easy way to add life to a space. It's an excellent, low maintenance way to introduce children to the joys and responsibilities of pet ownership, and studies suggest pets can help you have a longer, healthier life.

An innovative system called WaterWonders can make setting up and maintaining an aquarium easier. There's a decorative filter, base ornaments and quick connect plants.

Each system is individually handcrafted and painted for its own unique appearance. It was thoroughly engineered by aquarium experts and is a state-of-the-art design for superior aquarium maintenance and healthy fish.

The decorative filter is molded into an attractive shape that becomes the visual centerpiece of the aquarium. It hides all of the unsightly but necessary equipment such as the filter, heater and tubing needed to keep the aquarium and fish healthy and vibrant. It's easy to clean and keeps the aquarium a beautiful focal point of a room.

There are three different styles of decorative filters: Driftwood, River Rock and Coral. Each piece is designed for a 10-, 20- or 29-gallon aquarium and comes with a Tetra Whisper In-tank Filter.

Matching ornaments designed to be placed on the gravel as tank decoration come in Driftwood or River Rock. The decorative plants quickly connect into the base ornaments, removing the need to place plants under aquarium rocks. When you-and your fish-are ready for a new décor, you can just unclip the plants and add new ones.

New aquarium owners can avoid many of the early pitfalls of setting up a tank by registering for TetraCare. This free aquarium program offers constant support through the first six months of aquarium ownership, with an ongoing series of fish care e-mails.
