There might be many guys out there who have kept fishes as there pets . I just want to start a discussion here to help you guys know some simple tips as how to keep them healthy and make them live longer life .
Before i used to have hard times keeping them alive and was always getting sad that why they dying so soon . But now i know few tricks that can help you all and may be you also provide some great tips .
1)First thing is always buy your fish from a good shop . This is very important because even if the fish is costly , but you be sure that its healthy . Look for the shops which have live plants for aquarium . These shopkeepers will usually have a healthy fishes .
2)NEVER use detergent or soup to clean your fish tank . Even if you think you had washed away all the detergent but smell and small traces will become very harmful for fishes . Always use water and keep on washing pebbles with water utill its crystal clear.
3)To make look the tank bigger . arrange the pebbles in slant position ( low in front and high at the back ) .Its a nice trick to make the tank look deeper.
4) Fishes often die due to overfeed . So NEVER feed them much . I have five fishes and i feed them once about pinch of food . Remember they got very small stomach .
5)Replace the tank water every 7 days about 50% of the total . Make a habit of replacing half water every weekend . This ensures they getting fresh water with oxygen . You may use filters but then also you will need to clean water after every 10 days.
6) Its good to add oxygen pump and houses for them to keep them happy .
