SELECTING FISH FOR YOUR AQUARIUM

Once you have your aquarium completely set up with or without a heater, you can decide on the fish to put in it. There are many different tropical fish available in the market. Although they need a heater, they are often more colorful than cold water fish.

A fresh water tank is easier for beginners than a salt water or marine tank. Fresh water fish are easier to manage than the marine species. For the beginner, any of the popular fresh water live-bearing fish, especially guppies, mollies, and so on or gold fish, angel fish etc will be the best.

If one needs some fish more colourful, white cloud mountain fish is another option. All of these fish are fairly hardy, and can live at room temperatures. But most of the ornamental variety of freshwater fish are tropical, which require a heater.

Things to remember before buying fish for your Aquarium

Once you have decided on a particular species of fish (either Fresh water or Marine) to keep, the next thing is to pick out healthy ones from the lot for sale. It is always better to avoid buying from a store, which smells like fish, as there may be dead or dying fish around.
