Pets require a great deal of attention from you and you cannot get a cat, dog or fish and just let them live their own lives. You have to take care of them and do your best to provide good living conditions for your pets. Unlike cats or dogs, fish cannot display their feelings and emotions, they cannot mew or bark and you never know what they really want. You cannot be careless, when it comes to your aquarium, because fish are defenseless and anything can happen to them if you abandon your aquarium for a long period of time. If you think that your responsibilities end when you put some food flakes to your aquarium, you are deeply mistaken. This delusion tends to have very regrettable consequences sometimes. So, what should you do if you have just gotten your first aquarium and don’t know what to do? The first thing you have to remember is that you have to observe your fish every day. However busy you are, you need to pay at least 10 minutes once or better twice a day to your pets. Watch them swimming in the fish tank and note every unusual thing like change in the behavior, bad look of some species, including spots on the scales and fins. If some of species stay in the bottom or float on the surface, it can be a bad sign, especially if they have never done it before. If the fish swims in unusual way or seems to be disoriented it is time for you to sound the alarm. Any of the mentioned signs can mean that your fish have some infection that can be easily spreaded all over the aquarium. If you want to avoid it, go and consult specialist and examine some books on fish’s diseases.
Suppose, you detect some of the signs we have mentioned above. It is obvious that you have to take immediate measures. The first thing you have to do is to check all possible objects in your aquarium and to look at measurement devices. It happens that species get different infections or get shocked because of temperature drops or too high or too low PH level of water. It can not only provoke illnesses, but also can cause the death of your species, if you don’t take measures timely.
If you are a beginner in the sphere of aquariums and everything connected with them, you don’t probably know that you shouldn’t let new fish into the community tank right away. It happens that new fish are infected or need time to get used to the new habitat and get ill because of it. Anyway, if you put ‘newbies’ into your fish tank, you can get all your fish infected. So, get a separate tank for new species and fill it with water from your community tank. After new fish get used to new water, you can let them in into the main fish tank, without worries.
