INTRODUCTION Pet ownership has been increasing at a steady pace in the last 20 years. After cats and dogs, the most popular pet is now the freshwater fish. The maintenance of fish aquarium is a very difficult task itself. Whenever you have to clean up your aquarium or you have to feed, you have to do a lot of things. You have to turn off your aquarium's power head/air pump and feed manually and project with which we came up is an Automated Fish Aquarium. Aquarium Caretakers suffer difficulty in changing the aquarium water, difficulty in maintaining the pH of the water in an aquarium, in feeding the fish, difficulty in controlling the turbidity of the water in an aquarium, in figuring out when the water is to be filtered,
LITERATURE REVIEW The authors of [1] summarized the management process or guide for a successful fish culture. The aqua culturist monitors the pond in time domain and takes necessary action. Such actions include feeding, draining and refilling of water, water and temperature level monitoring, while feeding can be done 3-4 times a day, draining and refilling of water is based on the condition of water. The temperature level of aquarium is critical to the survival of the fish and requires close monitoring. An embedded wireless network and water quality measurement system for large scale aqua culture is described in [2] and [3]. The developed portable water quality measurement units are installed on a floating
