3 Care Tips that will Extend the Life of your Fish
Fish make great pets for many reasons, but one common plus to having an aquarium rather than larger pets is ow easy it is to take care of basic fish!
And these 3 tips are no different! They are all very simple but if you stay on top of doing them then you can extend the life of your fish dramatically.
Tip #1 : Keep the tank clean! C’mon, you know you should be doing this anyway. This includes things like making sure your filter is running its best, keeping your aquarium fairly algae free, and clearing the gravel of waste.
Tip #2 : Feed your fish on a schedule. This is really a no brainer people! Feed your goldfish once in the morning and once at night. Tropical fish however can be fed only once a day. And some fish can even be fed as little as once or twice a week! And never feed them more than they need, as fun as it is to watch your little guys eat, it can be harmful to them or can make the water murky.
Tip #3 : Give your fish some space! I know how easy it is to get carried away with adding fish to your aquarium. Make sure to give goldfish 2 gallons of water per inch of fish. And give non-aggressive tropical fish 1 gallon of water per inch of fish. Aggressive fish require different amounts of space.
These 3 simple steps should have your fish on track for a healthy future!
