Hobbies are of many sorts but the ones which give you a chance to look into nature are extremely pleasurable. Looking after fish aquariums is one such kind of a hobby. However, it is not easy to look after the fish and other aquatic life that you have kept in your aquarium. For this you need to know about the needs of the fish. Gold fish is one of the most favorites for many people. Here are a few tips to help you in maintaining your aquarium.
1. Gold fish can survive for as long as 5 to 10 years, depending on the conditions of your fish aquarium.
2. There should be ample space for the fish to move about. It is important to note that goldfish, being very active, moves here and there
3. A heater will be needed to regulate the temperature of the tank because the goldfish need a warmer temperature to survive. The temperature should not change drastically as this would be harmful for the fish. So you should have a constant heat supply system with a temperature regulator.
4. Add a few plants to the aquarium. These will provide shelter for the fish and make the environment closer to their natural habitat. The fish become more comfortable and hence healthier.
5. A very important thing that you shouldn’t overlook in any case is the refilling of water. After some time, the water becomes stale and algae start growing in it. They are not healthy for the environment as they produce toxins too. So you will have to keep a check about it. Also, if you notice any bad smell around the aquarium, then the water surely needs to be replaced. Also look for any leftover food that starts decaying.
