Greetings Friends,
Well i am back again, and this time i am going to write on fish care.
Fishes are not Toys:
Dear, every fish is a Character on its own, she has its own personality, and they should not be played with. If you cant raise your kids, don't give birth, in the same manner, if you cant take care, wait until you read enough on adopting a fish. a healthy fish says it all that you can really love someone and take care of that person!.
Everybody needs room:
like a person is more comfortable in a spacious place, even a fish is. she should have enough place to swim, play, get tired and feel hungry. you personally will never love to hang around in a small room and sit on the couch for the whole day! If you don't have large room, make sure that you only purchase tiny fish that are comfortable to be in that place. ( A fish keeper will always say that the fish will be comfortable, because he wants to sell it and make money!).
You won't like to sit in your own poop!:
yes you will never like that, so make sure to clean the bottom regularly.
You would never like to sit in a still place! would you?Or instead need to go out in natural for a while?
Yes so if possible, make sure to have a planted tank, if you don't have enough time to take care of the planted tank, there are easy alternatives, bellow is an example:
1) Find some good tank mud/soil.
2) Some good gravel, it should be bit large in size so that the poop slides down!.
3) The gravel (above the soil) should be a bit spaciously kept, with .5 to 1 cm space in between.
4) Some good and easy/fast growing plant like amazon.
5) Good poop/dirt cleaners like apple snails(only a pair will do, coz if you are unlucky enough to get a pair, they will multiply like anything).
6) a simple air pump, air driven filter.( less cost and easy to take care of).
7) whatever fish you keep, make sure they are small in size and number as compared to the tank.(you wont like to live in a 2bhk flat with 10 ppl with you !!!).
8)thats it, change the 50% of water every 4-5 days and it will work, snails have a huge appetite and so they are good cleaners.
9) remember: the more the number of the fishes, the more dirt will be produced, so keep the number less.( I had a pair of Convict cichlid, one inch in length in a 8! gallon tank, with 2 pair of apple snails, they were happy and very fast, healthy). I never purchased low quality food!.
Please read a lot before adopting:
Every fishes have their own behavior, some like to be in schools(like neon tetra), some like to be alone (like Betta) that doesn't mean that Betta doesn't need a partner!, i will talk about that later, but depending upon the type of fish, they should be given companions and number of partners. or else they will turn slugish and fall physically/mentally ill and die soon!. and then people wonder and say " I provide the best food and care to my fishes still they die!" ex. If you will keep a dwarf gaurami with a Convict cichlid , they will die of fear!.
One Last thing:
You wont like to have pizza every day!, you will get tired and fall sick!, same with the fish, keep a varied diet.
Happy Petting Fish :)
