When choosing aquarium fishes first of all it is necessary to find out as far as different types are combined. Whether you knew, for example, that the guppy and barbus not neighbors? Aggressive and mobile barbus simply will drive sluggish guppies into a corner and will peel their fine tails!
Instruction
1. Before a visit of pet-shop it is necessary to decide on aquarium volume. In a small aquarium small fishes of the small size, for example, gregarious will approach: neon, guppy, barbusa. And here to a goldfish or the large representative of family of tsikhlidovy will hard live in "bank" of 20 l. It is the best of all to adhere to the following formula: on one small fish less than 3 cm in size 1 l of water, from 3 to 5 cm - about 3 l, and on a small fish about 12 cm - not less than 10 l is necessary.
2. Before purchase of small fishes equip an aquarium with shelters and plants. Makrognatusa, apteronotusa, many types of somik love lonely places. And tsikhlida, skalyariya, molineziya, the guppy, neon, danio and goldfishes, on the contrary, adore big space for the movement.
3. The aeration and cleaning equipment needs to be chosen in advance. Than it is better and more high-quality, those can get more small fishes. For example, not 5, but 7, but it is no more.
4. Aquarium fishes it is possible to divide as temperature, comfortable for them. Guppies, neon, molineziya, guram, barbusa, etc. prefer warm water – 27-30 degrees. And for cold-loving fishes – crucians, goldfishes, burbots, danio and tetr temperature of 23-25 degrees will approach.
5. Observe balance between sluggish and mobile small fishes. Some sluggish small fishes, such as gold, telescopes, guram will not get on with fighting to cockerels or barbusam. At the same time the brisk flock of neon can "not from the evil" be swallowed by large goldfishes. Somik-prilipala it can be eaten by barbusa if them in time not to feed or not to make enough shelters for a somik. There is a lot of cunnings in aquarium husbandry, not for nothing many allocate it in separate science.
6. You should not forget also about what you want to see in the aquarium. If you come after the unlucky working day and, looking at "the underwater world", want to relax, take better quiet small fishes who it is similar to the pendulum shaking here and there your nerves will calm and will bring harmony in soul. If you need "fights without rules", cockerels or barbusa which suit with times "something" will be suitable for you!
7. Separately It is necessary to tell also about some types tsikhlid which have special intelligence. At first at them the love relations very interestingly develop, then they together build lodges, and soon after tremblingly look after younger generation. Than not the Mexican series?
