Got Fish or thinking to? You have to be careful to keep it alive. Fish is one of a very sensitive animal. It is the animal of sea and we are going to preserve it at home, so Special care is obligatory for it. 

 Requirements:

Aquarium is of course a basic obligation to keep fishes. Certain Fish pots are also available. But Tropical Fish Aquariums are more protective. They deliver a certain level of oxygen and light to the fish. Food is also another prerequisite to keep fish alive and healthy. Selection of Food is important in this case.

Care for Aquarium:

Changing Aquarium water is essential for fish. Your fish can die in uncleaned water. The unclean aquarium can also cause an unpleasant smell in your home. This is quite strange but you have to clean Fishes Aquarium water every week. Changing water too initial can also remove all the nutrients that are necessary for fish to keep it alive. 

Instructions for Cleaning:

 When cleaning the tank, you are not supposed to clean all the things like plants and other decoration. The surface of the tank produces some beneficial bacteria for the fish. Also do not create mess with removing fish and placing it to another tank for a while. Leaver 10-15% of water in the tank and add more water into that water. Changing fish place unnecessarily will cause fish diseases.

If appearing algae in the tank, you need to remove that by scrapers or scrubbers. There are varieties of scrapers and scrubbers available.  

Following steps are required when cleaning tank:

Un- plug filter and heater. Remove the crabs, snails etc that can get harm when cleaning tank while do not remove fish.

You should Remove plants and decorations only once in a month. While for the rest of the time there is no need to remove them all.

You can use certain gravel cleaner available in stores to clean the tank.

Remove the dirty water, and add this water into some other bucket.

Add Clean and fresh water into the tank.

Place everything how it was.  Now plug back the filter and heater.

Along with the cleaning care Food is the most important thing for fish. Of course no one survive without it.

Feeding Food guide:

Some people over feed there fishes. This is quite harmful and your fish can ueven die by adding more food to the water. This will also create pollution in the tank. There are nmerous foods available for fish. (e.g Flake Food, Wafer and Tablet Foods, Granular and Pellet Foods, Frozen Food, Frozen and dried Food, Fry Food). Feeding amount depends on the food type that you have chosen for fish.

Extra Care:

Introducing new fishes in the tank will keep fish healthy living. But do not over fill the tank. Just like people fishes are friends with one another. Alone fish cannot survive for a long time. 

I strongly endorse fluorescent over incandescent lights because they are more effective. Turn the lights on and off at particular time. So your fish can rest. Temperature management is also necessary for the fish. Sudden changes in temperature can cause your fish to ill.
