When we think of pets, cats and dogs immediately come to mind. Truth? Fish are one of the great forgotten and … they are exciting! Contrary to popular belief, they have memory and some have lungs and are even capable of flying and changing color .
If after reading this preview that we expand in the photo gallery at the end, you get the bug of getting a fish, here are a few tips for beginners.
Tips for newbies
– Before acquiring the animal, it is very important to be well informed about the specific needs of the fish: the space it needs, the minimum size that the aquarium must have as well as the liters that we need to add in case we are going to include another or other tenants .
– Better not to buy a fish tank . The round glass fish tank of a lifetime is not the most suitable home for fish to live as it is tiny. Now that you wear it, do it right and get yourself an aquarium that has the right dimensions.
– The ideal being a novice is to opt for species that do not demand too much in terms of pH, water hardness, temperature …
– Among the easiest species to care for, we find guppies and molly , both small fish that require light water maintenance and some basic care.
– Tetra and zebra fish are very calm but require an aquarium with a minimum of 100 liters since they live in groups and several specimens will be necessary to ensure their well-being.
– It will also be necessary to know the compatibility between the species , either because the fish have different behaviors or can eat each other, or because they require different characteristics of the water.
– You will have to learn the aquarium cleaning techniques well. It may at first seem like an impossible mission to do it right but we guarantee that, as with everything, with the passage of time you will become an expert. Be patient.
And now yes, hold on tight because you are going to hallucinate with these 15 surprising things that you may not know about our fish friends .
