Fish can be excellent pets in case we want to keep pets but we don’t have much space at home, time to dedicate to them or we are not ready to commit to the three daily walks that a dog needs. These pets also do not mess or can break anything. Also, if you have children they can learn what it is to take responsibility for an animal with them.
In the photo gallery we propose 10 species of fish of great beauty but first, we tell you a few basic guidelines to take care of them.
Basic fish care
Fish that get along . Let yourself be advised by an expert so that you do not make the mistake of mixing fish species that do not get along.
How many fish? Likewise, tell the expert about the dimensions of your aquarium to guide you on the ideal number of fish. It is not a question of being overwhelmed. Do not throw the fish all at once in the aquarium. If you find yourself at the time of putting the fish in their new home, do not do it suddenly but little by little.
Food Once you have decided the types of fish that will be part of your aquarium, find out about their nutritional needs as well as if it is recommended to give some type of supplement to the usual food or at specific times such as reproduction. We recommend that you consult your trusted veterinarian on how much food and how many times you should give the fish so as not to overfeed them. In the market there are automatic feeders that will feed the animals in those moments when you are not at home or you go on vacation.
Water heater . If you would like to have tropical fish or those that need warm water to live, you will have to get a heater to maintain a correct temperature.
Lighting Fish should live in a bright environment but not in direct sunlight. We recommend purchasing aquarium lights from a pet store. Don’t forget to turn it off when it’s time to sleep.
Aquarium cleaning . Do it as we tell you here. If you follow these basic guidelines, your fish will be in good health.
