Our Mission

Pezicaci.eu was founded with a simple goal: to provide clear, practical, and well-researched information about fishkeeping to hobbyists in the Czech Republic and across Europe. We believe that every aquarium hobbyist, from complete beginner to advanced aquascaper, deserves access to reliable guidance.

The name "pezicaci" draws from the Czech word for those who care for fish, reflecting our dedication to responsible and informed fishkeeping practices.

What We Offer

Our content covers the full spectrum of freshwater fishkeeping:

  • Setup Guides: Step-by-step instructions for establishing new aquariums, from equipment selection to the crucial cycling process
  • Species Profiles: In-depth looks at popular and less common fish species, with honest assessments of care requirements and compatibility
  • Plant Care: Everything you need to know about growing aquatic plants, from low-tech setups to advanced CO2-injected aquascapes
  • Health and Disease: Practical advice for recognizing, treating, and preventing common fish diseases
  • Local Resources: Information about Czech aquarium shops, clubs, and events

Our Approach

We take an evidence-based approach to fishkeeping. Our articles draw on established scientific understanding of aquatic biology, water chemistry, and fish behavior, combined with practical experience from the Czech and international fishkeeping community. We avoid sensationalism and unsubstantiated claims.

Every piece of content on this site goes through careful review to ensure accuracy. When recommendations differ between sources, we aim to present the range of opinions and explain the reasoning behind each approach, letting you make informed decisions for your own setup.

The Czech Fishkeeping Tradition

The Czech Republic has a long and rich tradition of fishkeeping that dates back decades. Cities like Prague, Brno, and Olomouc have active aquarium clubs, and events like aquarium exhibitions and fish exchange meets are regular occurrences. The country is also home to the Obri Akvarium in Hradec Kralove, one of the largest freshwater aquarium facilities in Central Europe.

We are proud to be part of this vibrant community and aim to contribute to its growth by making quality information accessible to everyone.
