Which TROPICAL Fish should I get?

I am planning to buy a 5 gallon tank to put on my desk. I’ve decided on fresh water tropical fish. Which kind should I get? How many? And are they easy to maintain? I was thinking about pea pufferfish or some neon tetras.

Tropical fish one of the most amazing pets that one could keep in their home or workplace. Tropical aquarium keeping is fast becoming an extremely popular hobby for many people young and old. Whether it is a small fishbowl with just a few fish or a 4 foot deluxe aquarium, tropical fish will make a beautiful center piece or highlight of any room.

There is nothing more relaxing than coming home after a hard day at work and watching your beautiful tropical aquarium with the fishes peacefully swimming around your carefully placed decorations and aquarium plants. You can set up your tank to show you a complex array of rock’s, wood, plants, and other decorations or you can aim for the simplistic approach. Either way you can express your own creativity, likes, and dislikes in how you choose to create your tropical fishes home.

With the popularity of tropical fish tanks, there is a wide variety of different types of decorations to choose from. Some people choose to take a humorous approach by setting up animated figures and cartoon characters, or skeletons and skulls. You could choose a medieval theme with castles and dragons, or keep it more natural with some fancy pieces of wood and rock.

Another big decision tropical fish I knows me to make is whether to have live plants, fake plants, or no plants at all in their aquarium. Of course this decision will be influenced by the type of fish you choose to keep in your tropical tank. Some fish will benefit more from having live plants in the aquarium while others will eat them quicker than they have a chance to lay their root’s. There are also a great many different species of plants available in a wide array of colors and features.

Whether to use rocks in your fish tank also depends on the species of fish you wishing to keep. For example some species such as cichlids need sheltered areas to claim their own territory, otherwise they may become aggressive towards the more timid fish in the aquarium. On the other hand there are species such as shoaling fish that will be a lot happier in a tank with wide open areas for them to swim in. If you decide to use real rocks you must be extremely careful where you get them from and that they are safe for use in aquariums. If in doubt fake rock’s are a good alternative.

Pieces of wood in an aquarium will also help fish that need area to claim as their own and more timid fish that like to have an area of safe retreat. If you are lucky enough to find a unique piece of wood that is safe for aquarium use it can be a very attractive addition to your aquarium. Live plants may even start growing around the wood and mosses will be attracted to its surface.

In summary how you choose to decorate your tropical fish tank is a very personal choice and one which will allow you to become very experimental and discover the creative side that you never knew you had. There are no rules or limitations that she must abide by as long as you put the health and well-being of your precious tropical fish first and foremost.

What are some bright tropical fish?

We are thinking of getting a 90 gallon tank. Saltwater fish are so bright and beautiful, but the cost and upkeep is beyond our means. What are some brightly colored pretty tropical fish to get? I looked at Petsmart and their fish are so bland looking. I don’t want mean fish, we want a peaceful tank.

Any suggestions?

Billabong, my pet Betta fish

Billabong, my betta fish swimming around its tank.. (old video) RIP BILLABONG Sept 2006 – March 2009 (2.5 years old) Adopted from a Petco in Eureka, California in September 2006. Billabong was my only pet when I was living on the West Coast.. When it was time to move back to the East Coast, he flew with me on an airplane across the country (he was in a little Tupperware jar). He’s lived a long life, but became ill with a large infection on his top fin and held on as long as he could. I cried so so much when I buried him, he’s now resting next to a fish pond in a beautiful back yard in Wake Forest, North Carolina. We’ve been through a lot together.. and I’m going to miss him so much :
