Magnetic fluids are basically classified into two categories; first one is ferromagnetic fluids (or ferrofluids) and another one is magnetorheological fluids. Ferromagnetic fluids are colloidal suspensions of very fine magnetic particles (~10 nm), whereas magnetorheological fluids are suspensions of larger magnetic particles, which are usually non-stable. In this review article we mainly focused on ferromagnetic fluids. We review the general classification of ferromagnetic fluids, properties of ferromagnetic fluids and applications of ferromagnetic fluids. A large portion of this review included the results of maximum work which has been done in stability of ferromagnetic fluids till the present.
