How To Keep Fish

Fish keeping can be an interesting and inexpensive hobby. Watching the fish swimming too and fro can give you hours of amusement. Also keeping fish is less involving than keeping other pets. Fish need very little care. For much of the time, they can be left alone and they do not move about the home. In fact they can be considered as a sort of decoration for the home.

The initial expenses may be a little expensive when you consider the equipment that you have to buy. But then once purchased they can last for a long time. The most important item that you would need is a big fish tank. You will also need a second tank as a sort of maternity hospital for your fish fry. Fish, even the parents themselves, have a nasty habit of guzzling the young ones. Together with the tanks you need an air purifier. Then of course you need a net and some water plants.

After purchasing the items mentioned above, you set them up and you are ready to get your first fish. For beginners, guppies are suggested. These are known to be tough fish requiring little care. After you have learnt the basics, you can get other fish. Just remember not to put predator fish with gentler fish. Never put fighting fish with other fish or they will all end up getting killed. Fighting fish are rather warlike.

Besides watching the fish swimming about happily, there are a few things you have to do. You have to feed them. Fish’s natural food are worms. They eat bread too but this does not give them the essential nutrients. Keep feeding them as the food keeps disappearing. Fish have hearty appetites. Another responsibility is changing the water in the tank. Once a week is usually recommended. Use your net and catch all the fish and place them in the spare tank or a pail of water. Using your bare hands to handle fish is not recommended. Then empty the water from the fish tank, give it a good wash and put back the fish.

This is all you need to know as a beginner. It is recommended that you read some books to learn more. Learning by trial and error can be expensive.
