Have you taken care of the fish in the aquarium but often died and finally your aquarium now goes into the warehouse: D? this time you will take back your aquarium and plug in the living room or family room. Yes because I will share how to keep the fish in the Aquarium so as not to die.
Noteworthy in maintaining the aquarium is not complicated, you just need knowledge about the nature and habitats of fish that you maintain, let's see my explanation below:
Types of fish
You should be able to choose the type of fish you maintain, there are three types of fish that you need to choose:
Aggressive Fish:
Fish who like to attack other types of fish such as Louhan, Arwana, Piranha, Oscar, etc ..
Non-aggressive Fish :
Fish that do not attack other types of fish such as: fish chef, comet fish, platy fish, goldfish, etc.
Territorial Fish :
Fish that has a power area such as Niasa, lemon, Manfish, Gurami mini, etc ..
Fish type placement rules:
- Aggressive fish should not be mixed non aggressive fish (absolute)
- Agricultural fish should not be mixed with territorial fish
- Non-aggressive fish can be mixed territorial fish from aquarium is quite large and there are many plants water, coral etc.
Fish Habitat
Fish habitat is divided into three namely the Water Stream, Water Depth, and Light in the water there is a steady stream of water.
If you keep a fish like a chef, Platy, Dollar etc, then it takes a filter that spurts running water. If you keep calm water fish such as manfish, mini gourd, pearl, oscar, lohan, etc then give a stone or coral border in front of bursts of filter so they will not be disturbed by heavy currents.
Water depth is divided into 3, namely Up, middle and bottom. Examples The top fish are Platy, Guppy, Molly. Examples of middle fish are Chef, Comet, manfish. Examples The bottom fish are glass cleaners, botia, niasa, lemon etc.
Light in the water: Some fish like the light, but some do not like light, Example neon fish tetra body lights up like neon, because it is glowing then he is destined to live in dark place, kalo maintain fluorescent fish do not be given much light
Fish food
Based on the food is divided into 3, namely Carnivora, Herbivore and omnivore
carnivores eat animals such as shrimp, worms, caterpillars etc.
herbivores eat plants such as moss, algae, etc.
omnivores feed on animals and plants
Is the description above you can conclude what fish can and should be placed aquarium?
If it is still difficult then I give the enlightenment as follows:
We are interested in fish sold because of beautiful shapes and colors but collided with the rules above then you can make a solution by decorating the aquarium according to the rules above.
Example:
You want to buy fish chef, fish manfish, neon tetra, botia, platy, guppy, pearls, Niasa, lemon
Make a large aquarium that is at least 100cm long
Attach the filter to one corner of the tank.
Give a filter burst filter in the form of large rocks or corals.
Give plants away from bursts of filters.
Give floating water plants like water hyacinth / lotus. in the aquarium half, tie and give the limit for the plant is not shifted to some other aquarium
Give small caves under the filter.
Then what happens is as follows:
Territorial fish such as niasa and lemon will love to enter small caves as their domains so rarely attack other fish.
Tetra neon fish will take shelter under water hyacinth / lotus from lamplight.
The fish of the chef and botia will be on the bursts of filters because they like the rushing water.
The platy, guppy fish will be in the upper aquarium section where there is no water hyacinth / lotus.
Manfish fish, pearl shoes will be on the sidelines of plants in the water and away from the swift currents.
