Freshwater fish may be easier to care for than saltwater fish because they are usually more durable. There will need to be some basic aquarium setup. You’ll need a tank, some rocks or soil to line the bottom of the tank and some food for your fish. Also, you’ll need a filter and some light. In order to choose fish, it is important to make sure that the fish are compatible. Both the water temperature and the pH level must work well for them. Also, they should both need food that is similar to each other. Keep the fish about the same size. Fish that are small enough to fit in the mouths of other fish are usually where they end up. So don’t get down if this happens. There have been times when fish that have lived together for a long time have been found dead.

Fish in freshwater should be fed twice a day. It’s best to feed only a small amount that can be eaten in the first two to five minutes. Fish keepers who aren’t very experienced make the mistake of giving their fish too much food. There should be no extra food in the tank at all. If you can, pick it up with a net because it will become debris and quickly make the tank dirty. Water should be checked and regulated every week. Any discrepancies in P.H. and water temperature should be fixed right away so that the fish don’t get stressed out.
Stress is important because it can make fish sick. It is important to keep an eye on the fish in an aquarium to see how they are doing and how well they are doing. The signs of stress will be pretty clear. Stress coats can be bought at a pet store near you. Fish that are slow to move or look lethargic will need one. Try not to fill the tank up too much. A fish should not be stressed out by this.

It’s best to only change about a third of the water in the aquarium at a time. This way, the fish and other animals will be least disturbed by the new water. Do this every two to three weeks. Remove the water from the tank with either a bucket or a siphon. To try and remove any loose or floating debris at this time, you should try to get it. New water should be about two degrees warmer than the water in the tank when it is added. The sides of the aquarium should be scrubbed every few days to get rid of any algae that have built up there. Again, be very careful not to bother the fish. Before and after you touch the aquarium, wash your hands very well. As the last step, check the manufacturer’s recommendations for filters and change them as needed. Filters pick up any fish waste or food that has been left over. They can’t work well unless they are clean.

Then, add fish that are hardy to a new tank. These fish can handle the high levels of nitrate that are found in a new aquarium. If you want to fish, you can choose danios, gouramis, barbs, and live-bearing fish to buy. Add no more than three to four small fish a week. Check with your fish store before you buy any more fish.
