How to Keep Your Fish From Getting Stressed?

Answer 1

Keep the water clean, keep them in appropriate numbers (schooling fish in numbers, solo fish alone, pairing fish in pairs, etc.), choose tankmates wisely, don't keep large fish in small tanks, don't ever be one of the fools who think 'fish grow to the size of their environment', don't add all sorts of additives to the water (it only complicates matters), and don't try messing around with the chemistry. Don't clean out the bacteria elements of the filter, do water changes regularly and in portions, never all of it at once. Decorate the tank according to the fish you keep.

Research the fish by species and learn their needs BEFORE buying them!

Answer 2

Really quite simple:

Keep the water quality up, don't bang on the glass or place your fish where they are getting bumped. Do not add too many new fish at one time, Keep the Dissolved Oxygen levels up in the tank, don't overcrowd or over feed your fish. Do not add chemicals to the water that aren't needed, Do water changes 20-25% when needed. Keep your hands out and don't chase the fish trying to get them to come out of hiding. If you see a sick fish, either move it to a quarantene tank or watch it closely. Maintain a constant temperature and PH. Feed regularly.

Easy.

Stress can make your fish sick.
Instructions

* STEP 1: Keep in mind that if your fish is sick, it's stressed. And stressed fish are more likely to get sick.
* STEP 2: Know that a fish whose wounds don't heal is having problems. Make sure it doesn't have parasites. Watch to see if it's the victim of a bully in the tank. Make sure that there are plenty of hiding places.
* STEP 3: Make sure you're giving it a variety of foods and that it isn't having to compete to eat if your fish has lost its appetite.
* STEP 4: Give your fish space. Make sure that the tank is not too crowded. Like people, fish need their space.
* STEP 5: Be sure that the species in your tank are compatible.
* STEP 6: Keep the tank at optimum temperatures and the equipment in good condition. Fish need oxygen; some fish are more tolerant of low-oxygen water than others. A fish that stays near the top of the tank and gasps for breath is telling you that it's having trouble breathing. Check the ammonia and nitrite levels, the filters, and the fish's gills.
* STEP 7: Never add untreated tap water to the tank. Chlorine and chloramine are toxic to fish.
* STEP 8: Keep the tank and filters clean. Poor water quality, especially levels of ammonia and nitrites, and the pH can really put a fish in a bind.
* STEP 9: Find out what your fish like. Some prefer hard water over soft, some prefer acid over alkaline, and some do better with a little bit of salt in the water. Are they solitary or school fish?
* STEP 10: Make sure the tank doesn't get too small for its occupants. Crowding can lead to increased aggression.
* STEP 11: Use extreme caution when adding medication to the tank water. Any change you make to the chemistry is going to affect everything living in it.

Tips & Warnings

* Keep the tank covered with a hood or canopy to keep startled fish from jumping out.
