Care of Fishes

Well we have talked about 3 breeds of fishes, now we are going to talk about how to care for the fishes
Here are some tips for taking care of your fishes

1. Some ordinary water may be put directly into the tank without further treatment. More often, though, the condition of the water is unsuitable due to the presence of chlorine and an excess of dissolved gases. Conditioning the water is a strongly recommended safeguard.

2. The best temperature for individual freshwater aquarium fish varies among species, but a temperature range between 74 and 78E (23 – 26EC) seems suitable to most.Waters of higher temperatures have an increased bacterial count and a reduction ofdissolved oxygen. Sudden temperature changes tend to cause shock and fish, followed by disease

3. Light, in the aquaruim be a natural or artificial, is mandatory for successful maintenance of an aquarium.About 12 hours of light per day is optimum. Fish need light to see, feed, and reproduced.Light also has a definite effect on the fish's’ color

4. The aquarium should be located in a position to take advantage of any available daylight, but not direct sunlight. Near a window is preferable, but the tank should not be in a position where the sun shines directly into its and over heats the water.Elevated temperatures kill both fish and plants.
