The love for Fish | How to Take Care of Them 🐠🐠🐠

Magandang Buhay Steemians!!

Today is a wonderful day. As everyday before I start my daily routine I never fail to give thanks for another day is given to me. Another life to enjoy.

After waking up the first thing I do is look at my pet fish and feed them. As for those who have been following me I posted about pets and showed my pet fish. Even before I already have a love for fish. My older brother gave me a very special gift last December and that is an aquarium. He also included pebbles, decorative plants, stones and oxygen. Yey I was so thrilled to buy my own fish. Finally I can have a fish at home.

The kids were so happy having the aquarium. We bought various of fish, they were just cheap ones but I like it because of the variety of color. Since it was my fish time having a fish I'm not so familiar of how to take care of them. My idea is just feed them and change the water if it gets dirty. So there are times whenever I would change the water in the tank a fish or two would die.

Well there is a proper way in how to take care of fish in an aquarium,here are the things to remember:

Water Change, it must be done every two weeks. If the tank is not that dirty you can leave 1/4 water and replace it with new one. Tap water is OK to use but if you change the water you must leave the water for a few minutes before transferring the fish in the aquarium.
Be aware of how many fish you have, it is to monitor how many fish are still alive. Small fish decompose quickly when they die.
Make sure you have proper equipment-filters and water conditioner. Set it up first before putting the fish then cycle it.
Feed your fish 3 times a day. Watch them eat whether there are irregularities. Check also if the fish are getting along, just like mine I had to separate the other fish for it had a fight with my other fish. I had discussed in my previous blog about fighter fish how territorial they are and I decided to pair it with a female fighter fish for breeding purposes. But they end up fighting.

Fish tend to get stress easily, so try not to put your hands on the water if not necessary. Touching the fish is a big no no. And making unnecessary noise.

Fish is actually the most chosen pet after dogs and cats. They just create this feeling of tranquility whenever I get to see them swim around my tank. I feel peaceful whenever I see them get along well and eat the food I give them. So there are times that I just spend minutes sitting near the aquarium staring at their vibrant colors.

They are so easy to care of than other pets. You don't need to have a spacious house to have a fish. Unlike cats or dogs fish are quiet. You also dont need to walk them. And the colors and sizes that fish has are variety so you can have as many as you want depending on the size of your aquarium. I love my fish so much, I get sad whenever a fish dies although my fish are not expensive ones they are still the most beautiful creatures I have laid eyes on.

So steemians what your pet story? Steem on.. Thank you for dropping By..

Inspiring You,
