maintinance of aquarium fish?

Answer 1

Welcome to a very Fun Hobby of rearing Fishes,

It can be very rewarding or very tiring, depends on the level of preparation done before hand, read alot, ask alot of questions.

Hint Start Small/Cheap, get the basic processes correct, then go for higher level of complex things.

Fishes come in Salt water or Fresh Water.
Fresh water fishes is easier, but Salt water is very impressive.

Alot of factors to consider, in rearing fishes
1)Compatibility of the Fishes in the tank, when there are different type of fishes,
2) Water Conditioning, pH level, protein or Ammonia
3) Location of the Tank. Put in strong sunlight, and algae issue will arise
4)Feeding, need care, as it is usually the cause of poor water condition
5) Filtering, depending on the size of tank, and the amount of maintains you want, it can be a blessing of a curse. Good Filter system requires little work weekly. I do quarterly cleaning (3 months once, but it is a half a day affair)
6) Disease, fish do get sick, and sometime, you may have sick fishes from the shop., or if you feed your fish freah food, the food may carry diseases.

Ps Gold Fish are not that easy to rear, they are not that hardly fishes, but looks nice.

Sorry will not try to answer too much in this posting, It is a whole Industry by itself.

Satisfaction is when the fishes are Happy (they reproduce, it is another headache again, as it mess up the water, but Enjoyable)

Answer 2

First buy the largest aquarium you can afford. Second, buy only fish that you can afford to lose....both cheap and expensive fish die equally well. Place your aquarium on a sturdy stand...water is heavy...so a card table won't work. There are power outside filters and undergravel filters. Power filters remove the water and pass it through carbon, ammonia remover, de-ionizing resins, etc...but an undergravel filter works with bacteria and it takes a month or so to mature before you can add new fish (begin slow with about 1 or 2 fish per ten gallons and then wait for the 30 long days to pass). Maturing involves the establishment of Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter bacteria to become established on the gravel and the undergravel filter plate simply suspends the gravel to allow more water flow and hence more bacteria to grow. Feed sparingly. Live plants are difficult to grown with a community tank, some fish like to nibble on them...but there are beautiful artificial plants that are just as nice and do not require a degree in agriculture to maintain. Add fish slowly to your tank...one new addition is really enough and slowly your community will grow. Small water changes...10% on a weekly or biweekly basis will keep your water chemistry stable and if you are using city water, use a dechorinator.

You didn't really ask anything specifically, lol, but here's a little bit of general information.

Cleaning gravel- you can buy a gravel vacuum or siphon at most pet stores. This helps you do a water change and also sucks up waste that your filter has missed.

Water Change- I would recommend doing a 10-15% water change each week depending on the size of your tank. Refill it with tap water that has been treated with a conditioner.

Filter- make sure to buy a filter that is suited for your tank. I don't really like under gravel filters personally. Depending on the filter, the cartridge or bags usually need to be changed once a month.

Other than that, there's not too much to it?
