About Gillingham Field

An independent freshwater aquarium reference assembled for hobbyists in Poland and across Central Europe.

What this resource covers

Gillingham Field collects detailed, practical information on freshwater aquarium keeping. The content covers tank setup, water chemistry fundamentals, fish species compatibility, live plant care, and routine maintenance — structured so that both beginners and experienced keepers can find relevant, specific information without wading through filler.

All guides are written with a single freshwater ecosystem in mind: a well-filtered, planted tank in a typical Polish apartment, where tap water hardness, local fish availability, and seasonal room temperature all factor into everyday decisions.

Who writes here

The content is produced by a small editorial team based in Warsaw. The team includes hobbyists who have maintained freshwater tanks for more than a decade, with particular focus on South American biotopes, low-tech planted setups, and small species suitable for tanks under 120 litres.

Where factual claims relate to water chemistry or species behaviour, they are cross-referenced against FishBase and peer-reviewed aquatic biology literature.
