    Ways to take care of your pet fish 
    These tips will help you take care of your aquatic friends

    Fishes can be great pets since they are easy to care for and do not need constant attention like dogs or cats. They do not require hours of maintenance, playtime, or outdoor exercise and create a calming and tranquil effect on your mind as you watch them glide serenely through the water. Here are five ways to take care of your pet fish.

    Recreate a natural environment for your fish

    Get the right size tank and place it in a good location where it will not receive direct sunlight to avoid algae growth. Add pebbles and artificial water movement to the aquarium for freshwater fish to redevelop the environment of a river. You can add sand to saltwater aquariums to recreate an ocean environment. You can also add blocks for the fish to hide.

    Make sure the water is conditioned

    Condition your aquarium water to create a proper natural environment for your fish. Invest in a pH kit to measure the pH levels and temperature and concentrate levels of chlorine. Your fish will be able to fight diseases naturally if the water's pH level is right. When you are using tap water, keep it under the sun for 24 hours to reduce chlorine.

    Keep the aquarium clean and clear

    Remember to keep your aquarium clean and clear and replace the water at least once a month to prevent the accumulation of germs and bacteria and control the concentrates in water. Transfer the fish to a separate container. Remove the water and pull out the debris from the substrate using a suction wand. Condition the water once again and then put the fish in.

    Place plants in the tank and set the right temperature

    You can keep live plants inside your aquarium to increase oxygen levels and remove nitrate from the water which will be beneficial for your pet fish. Java grass, hornwort, and water wisteria are a few perfect plants for your aquarium. Adjust the water temperature according to the fish type. You can also install an aqua heater to keep the temperature in your aquarium constant.

    Do not overfeed your fish

    Remember to clean the excess algae in your tank using an algae magnet or long brush to keep the tank clean. Do not overfeed your pet fish as excess food can clog filters, cause ammonia, and nitrite spikes, and contribute to algae growth. Feed them twice daily with a serving size similar to the size of their eyes.
