Basic Fish Care
Learning basic fish care is the first and most important step to take before setting up a tank and taking your fish home…
Step 2: you want to consider your tank size. Every type of fish will require different tank size parameters based on the adult size that they grow out too. A good rule of thumb is one gallon for ever inch of fish. This will ensure all your fish have the room they need to grow and thrive.
Step 3: water car. A Big mistake many new fish owners make is not having the proper filtration, heat or water conditions for your fish. I recommend a heater, and appropriate sized filter for all your tanks, and always always condition your water. Any time you are adding water to your tank, water conditioner should be used to eliminate additives that are found in our water supply that are harmful to your fish. There are a variety of products out there for your to choose from to make sure you get this step right.
Step 4: decorating your tank has more function then just to look pretty. Plants, rocks and other decor offer your fish places to hide and explore, they also create breaks in site lines for those types of fish that may be a bit more territorial.
These steps are just to get your started. You will want to run your tank for at least 3 days before adding fish to it. There are tank starters also available for purchase that help you establish a healthy tank by adding essential bacteria. The beneficial bacteria feeds the nitrogen cycle assisting the tank in being capable of handing the bio load from the incoming fish…
This may seem like a lot at first, trust me when I tell you it is worth doing your tank set up right, from the beginning. Your fish will thank you by living longer and happier lives.
Everything You Need To Know
About Bettas
Bettas are emotional creatures. Not only are they all unique with their color variations but they all have their own personalities too.
Male Bettas are territorial and typically housed alone because they don’t like tank mates. Don’t be fooled, they do still need interaction and stimulation to live a longer and happier life.
Females are also territorial but can be housed together in the same tank with other females, they too have their own personalities, some more territorial then others.
Overal your Betta is much happier and less likely to get sick if you give them the attention they need and the tank set up that is appropriate for their needs.
There is lots to learn. We can do it together…
“ Those who have a Betta hobby truly love the variety of colors and personalities, Bettas truly are a unique creature. Live a Betta Life and love your Bettas"
