Salt Water Fish: Fish Tanks and Maintenance
So you’ve decided to purchase those salt water fish, but where do you go from there? The planning and preparation for your new fish shouldn’t be taken lightly or made on a whim. Caring for salt water fish is relatively easy; however, you’ve got to make sure that you’ve prepared the ideal living environment first.
Before investing in a tank for your fish, you’ve got to think about the Type Of Fish you want to put in it. Some salt water get very large and you’ll want to have a tank large enough to accommodate your fish. Once you’ve purchased your tank, make sure that you have a good place in your home for it. It should be kept away from direct sunlight, which can raise the internal temperature significantly. Also make sure that you have a quality stand for the tank. A 25 gallon tank can weigh as much as 250 pounds and you certainly don’t want that to spill.
Setting the Tank Up
Once you’ve filled your tank with water, add the pre-mixed salt mixture to the tank and allow it the settle for a few days before adding your fish. Then set up the plants and decorations you would like to use. Allow them to acclimate to the environment for a couple of days. Once you’re ready to add your fish, make sure to do it slowly. You may want to add small amounts of the tank water to their current housing space every ten minutes or so. After about an hour, begin adding them to the tank.
Upkeep and Maintenance
Check the temperature and cleanliness of your tank on a daily basis. The key to happy healthy fish is an ideal living environment. Every three weeks or so you will need to remove about 25% of the tank’s water and replenish it with new water. As long as you are diligent, perceptive and knowledgeable, your fish will be fine.
