aquarium fish species

If you're new to the world of fish keeping company? With so many varieties to choose from, can be a bit overwhelming. Here are some types of water fish sweet pets that are great for beginners and advanced amateurs (guardian of the fish).
Betas
Betas are the beautiful fish to be displayed in small aquariums in local pet shop. Long flowing fins red, purple or blue and are easy to maintain. The only Betta fish problem is that they must support themselves – male will fight to the death, and women are rarely available in pet shops. They do not do well with other species of fish feed company, as other fish like to nibble their large fins.
Goldfish
Fish red fish is a relatively easy pet to care for their supply, if you have the right size tank. I could not survive long in a jar goldfish or a small aquarium of less than 10 gallons because they produce large amounts of waste. And reduces the oxygen available waste water. A good rule is to keep a maximum of 1 or 2 goldfish for every 10 gallons of good – the aquarium water is filtered.
Zebra Danios
Danios Zebra is a very strong pet fish will do well in any size aquarium. They are tropical fish – so you need to put a heater in the tank to maintain a water temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do not just not buy a zebra – is more fun to watch in schools of 5 or more. You will find in most pet stores and are consistent with almost any variety of peace, tropical fish.
Platy and swordtail
Platy and swordtail are grouped in the same category as that are similar in appearance and almost identical in their needs.
These tropical fish pets can be found in most pet stores in shades and suppression orange for red. They are easy to maintain when placed in an aquarium of 72 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 10 gallons. And they get along very well with any other variety peaceful tropical fish.
Platy and swordtail mate and reproduce quite frequently in the home aquarium. They are livebearers – which means that their babies (FRY) began to swim from birth.
Corydoras
Corydoras are another easy to maintain and resistant variety fish for pets. They are a very active type of catfish and spend most of their time swimming in the bottom of the tank feeding food safety leftover.
They are tropical fish, so the better you do in a tank is heated to at least 72 degrees Fahrenheit. You can put in aquariums with just about any other variety of tropical fish and seem to appreciate being kept in schools of 3 or more.
