SIMPLE AQUARIUM KEEPING
here's a KISS for you
WATER ... yes water ... consider the amount of water that both fresh & salt water fish live in ... then forget about getting an aquarium unless it is LARGE ...... like 70 gallons minimum ....
FISH .... assuming your listening so far & have at least a 70 gallon tank .... consider the following ... there are small fish that will stay small AND small fish that will grow LARGE ...
make some effort to know what size your fish will be .... BUY A BOOK ....
NO don't go on the internet ... unless you know what yo are doing already ... IN WHICH case you DON'T need to go on the internet
WHY? ... because you can keep 70 1" fish that STAY around 1" OR 35 2" fish that won't grow larger ... or twenty 3" fish or fifteen ... 4" fish or ten 5" to 6" fish or five 7 to 8" fish ... GET THE PICTURE?
EQUIPMENT ... a light .. a filter ... a heater and an air pump .. ask someone who knows .... NO not the clerk at PetCo
keep the fish hungry ... when you feed them they should be ravenous .... feed every other day ... 2/3 frozen & 1/3 dry food
oh ... and make sure you use the right person to guide you ....
