How to Care for your Aquarium Fish

Aquarium fish can be the ultimate pet for many different people and for a lot of reason. They are beautiful, serene animals and don’t require a ton of attention. They are not noisy, they do not call disturbances, and you do not need to take them for a walk.

Aquarium fish do have some needs though, and you need to make sure you have the proper equipment to take care of them. You will need a tank that is the right size and has the right water temperature for your type of fish. If you are unsure what your fish needs, make sure you get advice from an expert at the pet store to help you.

The most important thing when it comes to caring for aquarium fish is the food. Many people make the mistake of overfeeding their fish, and do not get good results. In order for your aquarium fish to thrive and live well, you need to have the proper amount of food and the right kind.

Aquarium fish prefer to graze, so it is best to feed them small amounts of food throughout the day, rather than once a day. You should be feeding them 2-3 times per day. Also, the amount of food you feed them at each feeding should be only a small pinch. You need to put it in the same place in the tank every time. Aquarium fish will learn to look for the food in a particular place.


If you are thinking that you may be over feeding them, watch how they react when you drop food in the tank. If they eat it before it falls to the bottom, then chances are you are giving them the right amount. If they let it fall to the bottom, you are probably giving them too much.

Aquarium fish can make excellent pets as long as you take good care of them and carefully monitor their feeding.
