Tropical tank

Many people with fish tanks prefer to get a tropical fish tank. Not only is the landscape of tropical waters wonderful, but the fish are magnificent. With fish that range in colors from reds, blues, greens, purples, whites and many more colors. They also come in a diversity of shapes and sizes with fish that are an inch, to fish that are over three feet long. Having a tropical tank is not just having a plain fish tank but is as a live piece of art on you Having a tropical tank can be very rewarding, although there is much work required to maintain it. Being tropical fish, they require a constant temperature range of 72-82 degrees. It is best to keep a functioning heater in the tank and a thermometer to make sure that the water stays between the temperature ranges.

When keeping a tropical aquarium it is important to do research before choosing fish. The reason why is because even though there are many tropical fish, not all may get along. Tropical fish are classified in three groups: community fish, semi-aggressive fish, and aggressive fish. Community fish are the relatively peaceful group of fish. Semi-aggressive are the fish that are not so friendly, but are not very aggressive. Aggressive fish are the fish that are just plain aggressive. At any pet store the fish should be classified.

When you select tropical fish, it is also good to consider their diet. Fish from different parts of the world may have different sources of food. Doing research can allow you to know what type of fish food is appropriate for your fish. Choosing the correct food will cause your fish to appear healthier and brighter.

Another thing that you should consider when keeping a tropical aquarium is the health of the tropical fish. One of the things that I appreciate about tropical fish is that you can discern their health condition by their color. Many tropical fish are very colorful, and if they are stressed, disturbed, or uncomfortable their color will become dull. If you have a tropical tank full of dull fish, there is something wrong; the fish can be stressed, the water can be unbalanced or something else, you will know. If your tank is healthy your fish will have bright colors.
