Pet Fish
I’m thinking about buying a small aquarium tank to buy pet fish. How do I start?
I haven’t had a pet fish before.
What do I need organised and what kind of fish stays around longer if is healthy in a tank?
welcome to the wonderful but money draining world of fish keeping!well as a hobbyist i suggest you go out and buy the biggest tank you can afford but most people start off with a 10-20 Gallon Fish tank.be warned once buying this tank you gonna use up to about 400 dollars.well first off the tank it self i personally prefer to buy a kit because it includes all you need a heater and filter + a hood or top as some call it and lighting.now from my point of view a 10 gallon fish tank is about 50 dollars give or take a few bucks but i think a 20 gallon would be better it’s about 70 dollars.now decor gravel is recommended nay a must.the rule is about 2 pounds of gravel per 1 gallon of water but i like to use a different rule i only use about 1 pound per gallon a 25 bag of gravel is about 12 bucks.now what you need is plants and lots of them real or plastic is fine.okay first you should rinse the gravel till all is clean and nice add it in the tank.rinse your decor/plants and than arrange them how ever you please.than add water a good method to add water is to use a hose to fill it up.remember your tank needs to be in a place with no sun light and must have a strong base.okay now what you need is water conditioner use a water conditioner call p.h. 7 or what ever it is ask your pet store to help you find a product that is both a conditioner and a p.h. setter.now wait 15 minutes and turn on your filter and heater.wait about 2 days and now run to the pet store buy a fish known as zebra danios buy about 5 now your water should be at 78-82 degree.now wait 6 weeks and go to your pet store ask them what fish can go in your fish tank remember this instructions are only for fresh water fish tanks also fresh water salt may help
I got a pet fish!

Pete’s Dragon [VHS] $7.66 Disney loved to mix live action with animation (Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks), but this 1977 effort falls on its face. The turn-of-the-century story concerns an orphaned boy whose only friend is a cartoon monster. While the latter is entertainingly rendered, the rest of the film strains to be enchanting and the cast overreaches in a big way. Not for anybody over the age of ten. –Tom Keo… |
