When it comes to keeping fish, most of us think about fresh water fish. But what about tropical fish? In this blog article, we will discuss how to keep tropical fish and why you may want to consider it for your home aquarium. From planning your tank to choosing the right fish, we hope this article will give you all the information you need to get started.

Fish Nutrition

Tropical fish require a different type of food than the fish you are used to feeding your regular fish. For tropical fish, the frequency of feeding will depend on their size and age. Generally speaking, smaller tropical fish should be fed more frequently than larger tropical fish. Tropical fish also grow more rapidly when fed more often, so it is important to keep that in mind when making feeding decisions.

Generally speaking, feed tropical fish twice a day – once in the morning and once at night. The amount of food you give them depends on their size and age; for example, young fry should be fed small amounts several times a day, while larger adult fishes should be given larger meals several times per day. In addition to food, make sure to provide plenty of fresh water and clean tank setup for your tropical fish!

Fish Habitats

Fish offer a variety of habitats that can be used to house tropical fish. Some fish like cichlids, tetras and barbs prefer dense vegetation. This means plants, vines and other limbs hanging over the water. Other fish like catfishes and peacocks like to live in caves or under rocks. There are also some fish that like to live in man-made habitats such as aquariums or large pieces of driftwood.

The size of the habitat is not as important as the fact that it offers plenty of hiding places, places to breed and food sources. A good way to find out what type of fish your chosen tank will support is to take a look at the bottom of the tank for algae growth. Algae is an indicator that there is adequate vegetable material for the fish to eat. Another good indicator is how many fry your chosen fish will produce in a number of eggs.

How Often to Feed Tropical Fish

Fish feed at different times, depending on their size. Small fish feed more frequently than larger fish. When feeding tropical fish, it is important to give them food often enough to keep them healthy but not so often that they get fat. Feeding tropical fish should be done about every two hours during the day and once a night.
