TOP 10 AQUARIUM FISH FOR BEGINNERS

hello guys, how are you welcome to my blog. hope you all are doing well.

    SO WITHOUT WASTING YOUR TIME LETS GET STARTED

#10 BETTAS

The Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens), also known as the betta, is a popular fish in the aquarium trade. I personally recommend this fish as its pretty hard.

there are many different types of betta fishes available on the market. go and grab one.

DESCRIPTION  

usually grows to a length of about 6.5 cm (2.6 in).

TEMPERATURE

Betta species prefer a water temperature of around 75–82 °F (24–28 °C) but have been seen to survive temporarily at the extremes of 56 °F (13 °C) or 95 °F (35 °C). When kept in colder climates, aquarium heaters are recommended.

#9 ANGELS

Angelfish is a type of ray-finned fish

DESCRIPTION

Angelfish can reach 2 to 24 inches in length, depending on the species

WATER

Angelfish should be kept in a warm aquarium, with a temperature that remains around 78° to 80°F. Although they come originally from slightly acidic, fairly soft water, angels are quite adaptable to waters of various pH and hardness.

#8 GUPPIES

THEY ARE COMMON AND EASY TO CARE OPTIONS.

DESCRIPTION 

The size of guppies vary, but males are typically 1.5–3.5 cm (0.6–1.4 in) long, while females are 3–6 cm (1.2–2.4 in) long.

TEMPERATURE 

Keep guppies' water temperatures between 74 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit.

#7 TETRAS

it comes with a wide range of families.

DESCRIPTION 

Neon tetras reach 3.5 cm in length and are considered easy to keep in a community aquarium of at least 50 cm (20 in) long.

TEMPERATURE

75 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit

#6 PLATTIES

They are peaceful, easy-to-care-for, and ideal for community aquariums.

DESCRIPTION

The fish size is 1.5-2.5 inches (4-6 cm), females are larger than males.

TEMPERATURE

Platies will tolerate a temperature between 68 and 82°F (20 - 28 °C)

#5 MOLLIES

another great fish to keep.

 

DESCRIPTION
about 4 inches large (10 cm)

TEMPERATURE72°F- 78°F (22 to 26 °С)

#4 CORYDORAS

the bottom dwellers.they are really fast and will clean your tank from the bottom.

DESCRIPTION

2.5 inches

TEMPERATURE

These fish prefer a planted tank with temperatures around 60 to 75 ° Fahrenheit (20 – 24 ° Celsius) although they can take lower temperatures than this. Their high-temperature tolerance seems poor and 30 °C (85 °F) is the highest safe temperature.

#3 GOURAMIS

 Fish of the Gourami family are some of the hardiest and most popular aquarium fish. 

DESCRIPTION
They can grow up to 12 inches in size so they need a large aquarium (minimum 75 gallons). They can be long-living fish, and whilst they usually live until around 7, some have been known to live for up to 25 years.

TEMPERATURE

 between 75° and 80° F 

#2 DAINOS

Danio is extremely peaceful and adaptable. This makes them excellent tank mates for a wide range of tropical fish. However, they should not be kept with large, aggressive species that could harass them or eat them whole.

 4–5 cm (1.6–2.0 in)


TEMPERATURE 

 temperatures from 65 to 75 Fahrenheit.

NEW TO AQUA HOBBY and COMMON MISTAKES

♥FIRST DAY OF HOBBY

                                                                                      HELLO GUYS, I HOPE YOU ALL ARE DOING ABSOLUTELY WELL

SO I TAKE A CASE WHERE YOU ARE COMPLETELY NEW TO AQUATIC HOBY 

AND FINDING IT HARD TO SELECT A SUITABLE TANK OR SUITABLE  FISH.

DON'T WORRY DEAR, IAM THERE TO HELP YOU OUT AND TRUST AT LAST YOU WILL HAVE SOMETHING VERY INFORMATIVE ABOUT THIS HOBY.

                WITHOUT WASTING YOUR PRECIOUS TIME LETS GET STARTED  

1. SELECTING TANK

   It's not that as easy as it sounds, most of the people who are new to this hobby make these mistakes.

                                    

                       MISTAKE NO. 1- GETTING A FISHBOWL(I'll tell you why) 

                       

                        MISTAKE NO. 2-GETTING A BIG TANK AT BEGINNING (MOST LETHAL )

      

EXPLANATION OF MISTAKE 1.
getting a bowl is the most common mistake made by people as they think starting with a small bowl will help them getting a little bit of experience about fish keeping. it's correct to some extent, but let me tell you friends KEEPING FISH IN A BOWL WILL DECREASE THE LIFE OF FISH.

RATHER THAN GETTING A BOWL LIKE THIS.

                                                 

I RECOMMEND TO GO FOR THIS.
  
It's A BEGINNERS FISH TANK AND BEST FOR STARTING THIS HOBBY.




EXPLANATION OF MISTAKE 2.

''BIG IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER''

People who are new(NOT MANY) to this hobby buy a big tank like this,

and then after a few months finds it hard to clean and maintain the tank.

of course, the big tank requires good maintenance.

this tank is approximately 7ft in length(pretty huge).

FOR NOW, START WITH A SMALL TANK AND GRADUALLY INCREASE THE SIZE AS YOU GAIN MORE EXPERIENCE.



2.USING PLASTIC DECORATION

using plastic in our tank is definitely not good for your fishes.




RATHER USE  STONES AND ROCKS.

  

DRIFTWOOD                PETRIFIED 
                                                STONE
these are all-natural and easily available on any pet stores. best for fishes and for tank "ph" level(will talk about it). 


3. ADDING WRONG FISHES TO YOUR TANK 3.

most important is to add correct fish or what to add with another fish.
I HAVE A DEDICATED BLOG FOR THIS AND IS A MUST SEE BEFORE ADDING A FISH

4.MEDICINES
note down these medicines.

1. anti-chlorine

medicine used to improve the aquarium water quality by removing all harmful gases from water. It is economic, safe and non-toxic to aquarium plants and fishes even when excessively used.

2.anti-ich

It destroys the Ich parasites and other phylum infections effectively at intervals three days for persistent cases.

3.anti-fungus

Effective Against Diseases Caused By Ichthyophthirius Spp.(Whiste Spots), cstia Spp., Trichodina Spp., Trichodinella Spp., Chilodonella Spp. (Protozoan parasites - Main Cause Of White Spots And Sliminess Of The Skin), Saprolegniaspp., (Cotton-Like Threads Grow On Gill Filaments Fish And Egg Fungi), Trichodinellaspp., Flexibacateria (Cotton-Wool Disease Or Mouth Fungus), Cryptobia Spp., nd Trypanosoma Spp., (Listless Behavior, Emaciation And "Pop Eye").

4.aquarium salt

Salt is an effective medication provided the fish you are treating are salt tolerant. Salt should never be used in aquariums with live plants.
