In Britain we are a nation of pet lovers. We also love to make our homes look attractive, which is not surprising considering the amount of time that the weather forces us to spend indoors.
And there is an easy way to combine both these passions by buying a tropical fish tank which allows you to look after tropical fish and also add a bright and beautiful water feature to your home.
Tropical fish make a great Christmas present for people of any age as they are a low maintenance pet. It is also the gift that keeps giving as you can supplement the tropical fish tank with ornaments and sundries. That way over the years you can add to your fish tank, adding to its features and making it more entertaining for your fish to live in too.
With that in mind here are the top five tropical fish keeping tips as recommended by Park Garden Centres.
If in doubt feed your fish less rather than more. Overfeeding can kill a fish but they have the ability to survive for long periods without food. Always consult your tropical fish food product which will give you specific feeding instructions.
Keeping the water in good condition is more important than focusing on the health of the fish. Get a fish tank pump to make sure the water is nicely aerated, a tropical fish tank heater to ensure that the temperature is right and other added extras such as gravel cleaner ensure a clean and safe environment for your fish.
Do the research. There are hundreds of book and websites about tropical fish keeping and if you buy the equipment from our garden centre our knowledgeable staff will be only to happy to give you advice.
Keep an eye on your fish. Tropical fish can be susceptible to disease such as white spot and funguses which can be fatal if left unchecked. But it is easy to buy tropical fish medicine online and prevent these problems.
Think about what size of fish tank you want. Different fish tanks are suitable for different types of fish, according to how much water they hold. For beginners, small fish tanks are not advisable – you should aim for a tank that can hold at least 90 litres.
