PART 25: IS THERE A BETTER DEAL THAN THIS?

<< Previous DPM Natural Method is absolutely a scalable and versatile method. It works as effectively in a 100 Gallon Fish Tank as it does in an One-Gallon Fishbowl | Mini Aquarium | Nano Aquarium | Nano Tank | Mini Fish Tank | Micro Aquarium | Desktop Aquarium! Following are a few of the obvious ADVANTAGES of a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium:

1. You do not have to take care of plants as there are no plants, by design, 

2. As there are no plants, no fertilizers are required.

3. No CO2 injection is required.

4. No filter is required in a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium.

5. No heater is required.

6. No air-stone and power-head are required, by design.

7. Low-power lighting is required, supplemented by sunlight.

8. Complete water change and full aquarium cleaning is NEVER required!

9. Just a 30% water change once in every two weeks in case of a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl (Recommended Capacity - 15 Litres) is required. In most of the cases, however, just a 30% water change once in every FOUR WEEKS, in case of a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl (Recommended Capacity - 15 Litres), is more than enough.

10. Just a 30% water change once in every TWO MONTHS in case of a DPM Type Natural Aquarium (Recommended Capacity - 60 Litres or more) is required. In most of the cases, however, just a 30% water change once in every FOUR MONTHS, in case of a DPM Type Natural Aquarium (Recommended Capacity - 60 Litres or more), is more than enough.

11. In case of algae-eating small inhabitants, feeding can be skipped for up to THREE WEEKS in a row! This has been established through an experimentation involving 12 tiny Platies mentioned in the previous section. When I write this sentence, they are alive, healthy and happy, as always. A DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium takes care of itself and its inhabitants when you go on a vacation! (This is TRUE only in case of algae-eating small inhabitants). For the sake of variety and balanced nutrition, I feed my little Platies once in every FOUR days. They keep eating Green Algae whenever they like and enjoy the high quality natural fish-food that I give them once in every four days. It is never a good idea to skip feeding your fish altogether over an extended span of time. The experiment mentioned above was done specifically in the context of a typical vacation (No one at home to feed the fishes). NOTE: When you have Fish Babies | Fish Fry in your DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium, do change 30% of water at least once in a week to support appropriate growth of Fish Babies | Fish Fry. Do feed them at least once with any suitable Fry-Food | Fish Baby Food! That will supplement the diet (Green Algae and other Natural Organisms) they get by default in a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium. This will result in a more balanced nutrition available to the Fish Babies | Fish Fry.

12. DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium can be "STIR-CLEANED" without even touching the substrate and disturbing anything that is part of the setup.

13. Stir-cleaning, coupled with a 60% water change, once in TWO MONTHS is enough to maintain a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl in a good state (Recommended Capacity - 15 Litres).

14. Stir-cleaning, coupled with a 60% water change, once in EIGHT MONTHS is enough to maintain a DPM Type Natural Aquarium in a good state (Recommended Capacity - 60 Litres or more).

15. Green algae, in a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium, releases oxygen as part of their metabolism (photosynthesis) and that oxygenates the water, helping the inhabitants of the Fishbowl | aquarium.

16. No need to buy | maintain | repair | replace the following ever: Filter, Air Stone, Power Head, Air Pump and Heater. A DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium does just fine at the room temperature. It is energy-efficient and absolutely silent. A DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium is about extremely low cost of ownership.

17. A DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium is perfect for someone who does not have enough time and resources for a high-tech aquarium. This is just ideal for one who likes the elegance of natural simplicity.

18. No need to vacuum the substrate. It is optional, though.

19. No need for frequent water changes.

20. The Fishbowl | Fish Tank never smells foul.

21. Fishes (especially, Livebearers) breed so easily in a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium.

22. A DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium supports Fish Babies | Fry really well. It provides it all: Shelter, Security, Food and Growth! You do not have to take the Fish Babies | Fry out of your DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium. Babies | Fry find appropriate places to hide themselves. No need to offer any special Fry food to the Fish Babies. They get their food, by default, inside a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium, without you doing anything on that front! The Fry grow really well in a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium. These facts have been establishes through a series of real-life experiments.

In this Fishbowl, mentioned in the previous section, currently (on March 01, 2012) there are a couple of a week old healthy and happy Platy Babies (born in the 2nd week of February 2012) exploring their environment. They are the THIRD GENARION (Second Generation, in the true sense)! This DPM Type Natural Fishbowl, mentioned earlier, was started with babies born to the First Generation of platies brought from a Pet Shop. These Platy Babies (The Third Generation) are a couple of offspring of the Second Generation.

23. DPM Natural Method is perfect even for a beginner, because it is simple.

24. No plastic (equipment | part) becomes a part of a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl (DTNF) | Aquarium, by design! A plastic cover | hood | lid that does not touch the water is fine, though.

25. In a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl, fishes do not have to wait for their feeding time. Food is always available in the form of Green Algae in a DTNF. The whole affair is very natural. Fishes eat whenever they feel like eating. It's the fishes that select the time, frequency and quantity when it comes to food and feast. No human intervention is done in this context. In case of a DTNF, the water quality does not deteriorate because of availability of uneaten food in the Fishbowl | Aquarium. For, the food is live and fresh always. And, it's the very food available in the Fishbowl | Aquarium that helps in maintaining good water-quality. This is not usually the case in case of many other types of foods.

26. Because there are no plants in a DTNF, you dot have to care about pulling out dead leaves, ever. Since you do not have any plants, you do not have to worry about your fishes destroying your plants.

27. A DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium helps in applying DPM’s Natural Adaptation Technique (DNA Tech). That, in turn, helps the fishes, in question, evolve for a Sustainable-Natural-Living in a man-made environment - A Fishbowl | Aquarium! And, that’s not all. It is absolutely easy and quick to move over to another method of Fish Keeping, in case you decide to do so.

That's really quite a lot of good aspects of a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium. Let's talk about how to set a DPM Type Natural Fishbowl | Aquarium up next. NEXT >>  << Previous
