As a general rule, saltwater fish are a little more difficult to care for than their freshwater cousins. Then again, it isn’t required that you be an expert in order to keep a saltwater aquarium running well. There are some saltwater fish that are hardier than others, just like there are some fish that are hardier than others in freshwater. There are a few things that must be met in order for the fish to be cared for properly.

Every animal or plant needs food to live. This is the same for fish. It is important to look like the food that fish eat in the ocean. These foods come in flake, tablet, and frozen forms. If the food has been frozen or dried, there are vitamins that can be added to it to make up for any nutrients that have been lost. Fish don’t like to eat the same thing every day, either. Keep a lot of different foods on hand because they won’t eat the same thing every day. Before you buy fish, make sure you know what kind of food they need and that you can provide it. Keep an eye on the fish. People who do this will see a lot of debris build up in the tank. Only feed what your child can eat in the first two to five minutes of the meal. Do not feed more than that. Take a look at the tank after you feed your fish to see if there is any food leftover. Remember how much food was eaten before and try to eat the same amount at the next feeding time. Most new aquarium owners make the mistake of giving too much food to their fish.

The next thing to do when you want to raise a healthy fish is to make sure the water is clean and clear. It is very important to keep the salinity levels, pH, and temperature of a saltwater aquarium the same. Every day, check the water and make any changes that need to be made right away. Check the water for cloudiness and clean the filter every few weeks.

It’s been said that a happy child is a healthy child. Well, that’s true for fish. Fish should be made to feel at home in their new home as much as possible. You should try to make their natural environment as close to it as possible so that they can live there. To find out what kind of corals, sponges, and plants the fish live within the open water, do some study. If a fish lives on a coral reef, try to make that part of the aquarium as well. Stress can be reduced by giving fish a lot of chances to act like normal.

Finally, try not to overcrowd the tank. A lot of people have this problem, but it’s easy to avoid. It’s a good rule of thumb to have one small fish for every 10 gallons of water. Make sure to remember, though. Even a small fish may not be so small next month. Again, research is important because you need to know how big a fish will grow and if it is compatible with its tank mates.
