The basics for successfuly fish keeping can be summarized as follows:
Research your pet fish environment to facilitate duplicating it within your fish tank. Locate your fish tank in a consistent environment, while still enjoying your fish. Population density is crucial to a happy fish tank, even more so than fish species. Temperament of fish species within the aquarium population shouldn't be mixed. Aquarium equipment Selection, size of aquarium and aquarium supplies.
Research first - you should most of your time do you spend your research aquarium environment before making any purchase that you want to freshwater fish or saltwater fish, some big fish and many smaller fish? The fish that you want to keep are, above all, passive or aggressive? The answers to these questions will dictate the size and type of aquariumEquipment and the aquarium supplies you need.
Location - The first thing you should check with your research, is the placement of the pool in your home. It should also be protected from direct sunlight and away from air conditioning and heating vents, but not out of sight. You want, you can guarantee your clown fish, guppy fish, angel fish, gold fish and puffer fish to enjoy, without the tank on a consistentTemperature, and not to promote the growth of algae, which rob the water of oxygen and stress your pet fish.
How many fish - The rule of thumb is: "1 inch of fish per liter aquarium." Therefore, 10 fish from 2 cm in size should be well in a 20-gallon aquarium. But this rule is often abused, that they usually refers to the adult size of fish, not the size of fish at the time of acquisitionNormally, they will be younger and smaller. For example, if you have a 2-inch tilapia, it could grow to 7 inches or more in 2 years. In my opinion, this rule should be "1 inch size of mature fish per 2 liter aquarium" for beginners. In my opinion, this rule only for passive fish should be used as aggressive fish usually do not tolerate such a small population density.
Fish - Freshwater fish are usuallyeasier for children and adults to keep busy, because they are more tolerant of variations in their environment and able to withstand long periods of time between the water. However, saltwater fish can be kept as easy when you choose your fish and configure your equipment with care. Fish temperament, size and space requirements must be considered. Beta fish (also known as Siamese fighting fish) can not tolerate most other fish at all,tolerated during Oscars, discus and cichlids, while aggressive, other aquarium fish, although they will harass, or eat smaller fish in the aquarium population density. Do not try to minimize specific temperaments fish in your aquarium to Mix stress.
Aquarium Equipment - Finally, the question of what should get aquarium supplies, what size aquarium do I? Most beginners should start with a minimum of 55 gallons at 75Gallon aquarium for saltwater fish, or 20 gallons to 30 gallons for fresh water aquarium, or tropical fish. The volume of water in the aquarium gives stability of the aquatic environment, the larger the aquarium, the more stable water temperature and water quality. For beginners and experts alike, I recommend aquarium kits, since they usually consist of aquarium filters, pumps, and other compatible devices using the already configured by the Dealer for optimum performance for most typical situations. You also need a water chemistry kit, water conditioner and heating, and / or cooler, depending on your location and typical ambient temperature in your home.
This is not a comprehensive discussion, but it is to cover what most overlooked by beginners. If more hobbyists these basic guidelines would be followed in setting up their aquariums, they would spend more time enjoying their pet> Fish instead of fighting with algae, fish disease and the replacement of dead fish.
