Tropical fish and aquarium plants: Advice on what to do before you have an aquarium of your own.
By Jimmy



The first thing you need to remember while deciding on an aquarium for your tropical fish is that they need a large home. Fish reportedly thrive better when given more space to live in. Also keep in mind that since tropical fish are pretty, at some point you will have to give in to your temptation and buy more of them. Though most aquariums are warranted against cracking and leaking, that usually only holds good if they are on the recommended stand. Usually the bigger the tank, the heavier it becomes when filled with water and tend to leak Always arrange for a proper stand to avoid this. Again if the table or the surface used to hold the aquarium tends to stress the glass if it is not completely flat. Make sure the floor is structurally strong enough to support the weight of the aquarium too. You will not exactly be blissful if you get shouting neighbours as a result of fishy water dripping through their ceiling.

Choose the perfect shape of aquarium you want from hexagonal, square and many other shapes. You will need a filter, thermostat, heater, pump and lights for your aquarium. Though lights are not strictly necessary, they enhance the visual effects and benefit the plants. Be sure to thoroughly wash anything that you plan to put in your aquarium, but do not use soap. Gravel needs to be washed under running water, then pour boiling water over it to kill any bacteria that may be lingering there. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after handling stuff related to your aquarium.

Plants, besides enhancing the setting, provide food for some fish. One of the most popular aquarium plants is called Amazon Sword (Echinodorus Bleheri). It grows from 20 to 50 cm, has fast growth, and requires low light, the ideal water temperature being 20-30 degrees centigrade. Anubias Augustifolia has long narrow leaves that herbivorous fish do not seem to eat, which is handy. At least it does not disappear overnight. It grows slowly, but is easy to grow. If you want to see underwater flowers, Anubias Coffeefolica is the best choice, being easy to grow and having attractive new leaves of reddish brown.Bacopa Monnieri or moneywort is versatile and thrives in most conditions. You can easily propagate it by stem cutting. However, remember that this plant requires high light so do not plant it wit ones that prefer low light.

Wisteria on the other hand, has the huge advantage that it grows fast by absorbing nutrients from the water. It also helps to contain algae. This Wisteria (Hygrophila Difformis) is, however, not the garden climber. Remember to add fertilizer if the leaves turn pale. Java moss attaches itself to rocks, roots or driftwood. It will grow in any kind of water at any temperature, and you can choose this plant if you do not want to spare a lot of headache on plants. Online stores such as www.AquariumFish.net provide useful advice about fish, aquariums and aquarium plant species. You can visit this site. All in all, think and plan carefully before you have an aquarium of your own.

Making Money Selling Aquarium Fish

An interesting way of making money is to breed aquarium fish and sell them. You can sell the baby fish to your friends but not too many people want to buy aquarium fish. You should ideally try to sell it back to the person you bought your fish from and that way he might be interested in procuring fish from someone who is a local supplier so that he doesn’t have to pay freight charges.

You should start off with a lot of patience as you will need some time to figure out how to successfully keep fish as pets and then learn how to breed them. Instead of buying a lot of fish to breed, start off by learning how to take care of them and maintain them first. Starting breeding is not a very difficult to achieve task as once you set up your fish tank and you keep at least ten fish in it, there are bound to be a few males and a few females together and nature will do the rest, provided the fish are healthy. If you want to stimulate spawning, you can change one-fifth of the water daily. The...

What Fish Should I Get?

Bolivian Rams, Jaguars and Zebras make you think of farms and jungles, but these are a few of the names of over 4000 species of tropical coldwater fish that come from all over the world. For those interested in keeping fish, tropical freshwater fish are the best choice. They are not so expensive as saltwater tropical fish and there is much more variety than ordinary goldfish. There are large and small, timid and dangerous, pretty and plain, racers and hiders. Some eat others, so must be kept separate, or put with species they don’t eat.

When choosing your fish make sure you get them from a reputable store so that the risk of disease is reduced. You can tell if a store is reputable by looking around for a quarantine tank. Fish must come a long way to the fish nursery and should be kept in quarantine for a few weeks to make sure they are disease free. Otherwise all the healthy fish in the main tanks can be quickly contaminated. Some of the toughest fish are platys and barbs.

To tell if a fish is diseased, look for these symptoms.
