Setting Up a Tropical Fish Aquarium


A tropical fish aquarium is a fabulous furnishing for your home due to the tropical fishes attractive and colorful appearance. Tropical fish are beautiful pets that do not require nearly as much attention to care for as dogs and cats do.

There are a few things that you need to consider when you set up a tropical fish aquarium.
  • What fish variety or species you will keep in your tank. You can not, for instance, keep more than one Betta fish in a tank, because the two of them will fight each other. Instead you should opt for variety. This will also make your aquarium a work of art with all the flashing colors of the tropical fish residents, providing of course that you make sure that your fish are all compatible with each other.

  • When you have decided what fish to have, you can choose your aquarium. The size of your aquarium that you need should be based on the number of fish that you want to live in it, and the size of each fish species that you have chosen. If you are unsure, you local pet store should be able to advise you. Of course, you will also need to ensure that you have sufficient space in your home to comfortably accommodate your new aquarium!

  • You will also need some equipment for your aquarium:

    • Filter
    • Heater
    • Lighting
    • Hood
    • Algae Magnet
    • CO2 Diffusers
    • Plants
    • Gravel
    • Gravel Vacuum
    • Nets
    • Fish Food

    This might seem like rather a lot of equipment that you need to purchase. However, do remember that once you have bought them, you will not have to buy the equipment again for years, apart from the food of course.
