How often the joy of purchase of such beautiful, almost fantastic beings as aquarium fishes is replaced by bitterness because of their death in the very first days, and even hours after settling. It would seem, and took to the house accurately, and in advance carefully prepared an aquarium. In what business?
Aquarium fishes perish most often, of course, at the beginning fans. There is it because of non-compliance with several rules. The thing is that the maintenance of an aquarium and its inhabitants cannot be compared to keeping of pets. The small fish cannot whimper or pomyaukat when to her it is bad, just she quickly swam in a package of water from pet-shop, and already does not move at a water surface of your aquarium. For example, a dog, having left the house where the air temperature plus twenty five degrees, on a twenty-degree frost feels normally, having come home from cold into heat, she also will be happy. Instant change of temperature in two-three of degrees can quickly kill a small fish. Actually, store water and water in your capacity can differ very strongly not only temperature, but also in structure. Let out an ordinary gudgeon in the sea whether long he will live there? Therefore, water together with your guppy or the sword-bearer should be poured from a package in suitable for bank and to add there gradually aquarian water, with intervals not less than 10 min., having diluted the first at least twice. The quantity of the occupied small fishes has to be strictly limited too: one individual on 3 l are maximum density for the smallest types. Vegetation in an aquarium should not be too much, from time to time it needs to be thinned out, deleting an excess grass. Thus, you not only release to inhabitants space for normal motive activity, but also will increase light access. By the way, duration of light day of most of aquarian pets of 10-12 h, natural lighting from windows of the apartment is absolutely not enough, especially in the winter. So it is necessary to turn on in the evening the lamp, otherwise the inner clock of small fishes and as result – lack of appetite, a disease and death will break. It is necessary to tell several words about food separately. You should not hope that it is possible to manage one dry feed, the option "filled more, and calmed down" will not pass. First, not eaten forage will begin to decay and poison water, secondly, to small fishes difficultly to acquire it what leads to diseases of a digestive tract, thirdly, monotonous food leads to decrease in immunity, diseases, and, besides to death of fishes. Add to a food allowance of the wards of barbus, guram and skalyariya the crushed lettuce leaves, a fresh crank, water fleas, a Cyclops. The homeland of all main types of aquarium fishes are the southern countries. Besides part and support them in hothouse conditions therefore even not really long though even smooth fall of temperature of water up to 16 °C and will give below to fungal and other diseases which result you already guess. Generally, in advance read special literature, you treat the aquarium fishes with attention and love.
