Tropical
Fish Centre - Introduction
When I first became a fish keeper and
started off my aquarium, I was shocked. Quite literally, stunned by the amount of information,
maintenance and perseverance needed to start off a successful freshwater tank (Tropical marine
fish? - nice species, but very costly and double trouble). It is hard. It is harder when all
the fish bloody die, but honestly it is worth it, and I well tell you why. When I started off,
I was given the tank as present. Tropical fish? yeah they're something different,
goldfish are boring I'm going for something exotic. Tropical fish that'll be a
laugh. Fill in the tank, make it look good and chuck 'em in, they'll swim around and
hey - presto! Easy, no problem. Oh no. I don't think so. Anyone who has a tank is
chuckling, and rightly so. Its not that easy, my friends. Why? Here's a few examples:
Water:
You don't want to chuck in raw tap water in, especially when starting an aquarium. Tap
water is fine for me and you, but tropical fish and chlorine, chloramine don't mix very
well. Also you can't just chuck the fish in all at once, ammonia levels may rocket and -
dead fish swimming. Got the right species?
Are the fish healthy? The
diseases are, let me say, exotic and must be seen quickly and cured, with medical
help.
These are just a few
basic examples, and it is hard. But these are just warnings. If you follow my guide,
there's no reason why anyone should not have a healthy, relaxing, beautiful looking
indoor aquarium.
