DofE Three Month Skills Section Course: Tropical Fish Appreciation and Aquarium Keeping
and Aquarium Keeping

It’s estimated that 10% of UK households keep fish – either tropical or cold-water varieties.

It’s easy to see why when you begin to learn about the fascinating world of fish.

Successful aquarium keeping requires planning and dedication. Just the same as taking care of any household pet!

In this three-month course, you will understand the origins of keeping fish at home, understand the types of fish, and find out how aquariums are set up and the benefits of keeping fish. It’s a very exciting skill, and who knows, you may even start a life-long interest in the study of fish! The full name for someone who studies fish is an ‘Ichthyologist’!

Or even an ‘Aquarist’! The name for someone who keeps fish in an aquarium or pond.

At the end of the course, you will receive your U:Bee Completion Certificate and Assessor’s Report ready for you to complete the Skills Section of your DofE.

This course is ideal for anyone with an interest in fish, the natural world, and nature.
