Rather than thinking of it as just an aquarium full of pet fish, it's better to see it your own private ecosystem. Not only do the fish impact the atmosphere, but the plants, rocks, temperature, lighting, and more can change the quality of life within your tank. When it comes to keeping your tank free of disease and parasites, there are many precautions you can take.<br />

When it comes to choosing items for your <b>tropical fish tank</b>, keep in mind that while you may be introducing a lovely new live plant or a new species of compatible fish, you may also be unknowingly bringing unwanted organisms into your tank. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For example, when purchasing live plants, it's crucial to make sure that there are no snail eggs on the leaves. Otherwise, it's all too easy for snails to breed and create mayhem inside your tank—not only do they eat food, but some types of snails can feed on sick or sleeping fish as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Purchasing decorations for your <b>tropical fish tank</b> can be rather fun indeed. However, before introducing it into the tank, make sure that it is clean. If you'd like to include shells or driftwood in your tank, your best bet is to buy them at the shop rather than pick them up off the beach. There is simply no telling what tiny organisms may be living there. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, if you want to include plastic toys or decorations, be sure they are of high quality. Purchasing cheaply made plastic accessories may bring in chemicals, dye, or even lead into your tank. It is always a bit of a risk introducing a new fish into a <b>tropical fish tank</b>. You never quite know if the new fish will bring some new illness into your tank. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>Often the fish may initially look fine, but some chemical in its original tank will disagree with yours. To avoid having this happen, it's a good idea to watch your local fish shop carefully. For example, do you see any tanks that look dirty or neglected? Are there tanks with sick fish in them that haven't been labeled? Are there tanks that are overcrowded or simply too small for the fish inside them to thrive in? If you spot any of these signs, it's a good idea not to buy at that store.<br />
<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, not all fish that show odd behavior may be sick. Learning the nuances of fish behavior can mean the difference between picking a sick fish and one that is merely shy or nocturnal. If you notice a fish hiding, being stationary, or discolored, it may not be a sign of illness. However, if you see a fish struggling to swim or breathe, this is a signal that the tank is contaminated with some sort of sickness.

</tbody></table>Finding <b>tropical fish tank black mold</b> can be a troubling experience indeed. However, what many mistake for a mold is in truth a thick, short algae named black brush. This is a very difficult algae to get rid of, but it is completely possible to do so with persistence, patience, and a bit of help. Here are a few tips on how to fight <b>tropical fish tank black mold</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Tropical fish tank black mold</b> is formed the same way other algae is. Does your fish tank have exposure to direct sunlight? Do you forget to clean your fish tank sometimes? Is your filter malfunctioning? These are all common reasons to find <b>tropical fish tank black mold</b>. Even high levels of ammonia and nitrate can lead to algae formation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can stop algae formation by taking a number of precautions. For example, you can keep the water in your fish tank good for algae prevention by on a regular basis examining it for traces of nitrate, ammonia and other chemicals that algae flourish on.<br />
<br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B000255P9E&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe> <iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0002563HM&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>You can regulate these chemicals by adding special solutions to the water. But, be careful, as some fish are highly tender to even slight chemical changes. If necessary, remove the fish and keep them in an extra fish tank until your current one is clean. In addition to this, checking the amount of any fertilizer you use on your live plants is a good way to see if you're not over dosing and thus promoting the thriving of algae.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can also stop the flourishing of <b>tropical fish tank black mold</b> by limiting your fish tank's access to sunlight. This prevents the process of photosynthesis, which puts a damper on algae growth. Additionally, having a number of live plants is another way to prevent algae growth. You may not believe it, but having extra grounded and floating plants create the ideal oxygenated atmosphere for themselves, thus preventing any imbalances from occurring.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table>If possible, take out all of the objects the mold is growing on and give them a thorough cleaning. These include shells, rocks and other fish tank decorations. You'll also need to give your fish tank walls a good scrubbing, which may take a considerable amount of time. The effort is more than worth it, however, when it comes to getting rid of <b>tropical fish tank black mold</b>.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To prevent outbreaks of algae, there are even a number of algae eating fish to consider. These include Siamese algae eaters and suckerfish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These are only a few ways you can get rid of <b>tropical fish tank black mold</b>. In following these suggestions, soon you will be able to keep a cleaner take that is less prone to algae breakouts. </div><br />

Choosing the right <b>tetra tropical fish</b> for your tank can be sometimes a challenge. Their tempers range from the gentle, shy rummy nosed tetra to the territorial black widow tetra. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
In addition to their broad range of moods, these school dwelling fish are typically needed to live in odd numbered schools, or else their behaviour changes drastically.<br />

Granted the small size of these fish, it's not a good idea to put them in a fish tank containing bigger carnivores, such as cichlids. Some classic fish species that interact very well with tetras include rasboras, guppies, angel fish, and rainbow fish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Why is the <b>rainbow</b> <b>tropical fish</b> such a rare find? This is mostly because many fish stores sell fish as juveniles or babies. <b>Rainbow tropical fish</b> don't tend to get their vivid colors until they are alot older—as young fish they tend to be brownish green. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These school dwelling fish show their colours when attracting mates. Unlike many tropical fish, they show no signs of hostility when other males are in the fish tank. Having a female or two will be perfect for breeding as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a general rule, when choosing fish for your fish tank, be sure not to overcrowd them. While these are comparatively little fish, they are still a school dwelling species that needs a lot of room to roam. If you are uncertain as to which fish to include with your school, try asking your local fish store.<br />

<span class="pe_text">These fish adapt well to a variety of water conditions. These hardy, active fish do well with a variety of peaceful community fish as well as in the semi-aggressive aquarium. Rainbow fish are top water swimmers that can fill the void in most freshwater aquariums. A schooling fish, rainbows prefer to be in groups of six or more fish of the same species</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some equally mellow fish include guppies, angel fish, rasboras, and loaches. In addition to being a very mild tempered fish, they are comparatively hearty as well, making them ideal fish for starting tanks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Additionally, other things to remember when raising rainbow fish is the composition of your fish tank. Be sure to include a lot of places for your fish to hide or sleep. These include wide leafed plants, pieces of driftwood and large rocks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being shy creatures by nature, <b>rainbow</b> <b>tropical fish</b> need places for hiding and will lose their natural colors if overstressed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition, like most fish, <b>rainbow </b>fish are sensitive to extreme water changes. When taking care of this species, make sure to have some quality water testing kit in reach. This lets you check the levels of ammonia, nitrate, calcium, and other elements.</div>

</tbody></table>Depending on the color of the cloudy water, you can determine the kind of problem. This problem can be caused by a broad variety of different things. While dealing with sick fish and cloudy water isn't pleasant, there are a few steps you can take to try and remedy it.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One way you can prevent a lot of stress on your part is to have a separate hospital tank for your fish. Not only will this give your fish a clean place to stay while you clear up the tank, but it is also useful for quarantining sick or pregnant fish. If you don't have a second tank, at the very least put your fish in plastic bags while you do the majority of the cleaning. Otherwise you run the risk of stressing your fish out even more than they already are.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
Is your <b>tropical fish tank cloudy water dying</b> <u><i>white</i></u>? This can be caused by one of two things. In some cases, it may just merely be that the gravel you poured into the tank wasn't settled enough. In many cases it takes a day or so for it to totally settle to the bottom of the tank. If it persists over several days, you may be experiencing a surplus of bacteria.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
Also white <b>tropical fish tank cloudy water dying</b> usually happens in a tank when too many fish are introduced at once to the tank. These fish eat and excrete, which creates an overload of the bacteria that fish by nature produce, causing a cloudy white residue and an excess of nitrogen. However, this will regulate in time. In the meantime, execute partial water changes each day until things look normal again. Make sure to test your water as well thoroughly before putting your fish back in.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Is your <b>tropical fish tank cloudy water dying</b> <u><i>yellow or green</i></u>? This is a less harmful but unaesthetic occurrence. Yellow tank water probably means that you have an excess of decomposing plant or wood substance and need to change the tank water. Checking the filter can't hurt either. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Green cloudy water often means that there has been a sudden and dramatic increase of the algae in your tank.To prevent tropical tank cloudy water dying, try to keep your tank away from direct sunlight. Change the water partially, scrub any visible spots, and test your water for pH imbalances. In addition to this, you can prevent future algae breakouts by investing in a few fish that eat algae, such as sucker mouth catfish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These are only a few ways you can treat your <b>tropical fish tank cloudy water dying</b>.

<div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, even the most well maintained fish tank once in a while suffers an epidemic.<b> Tropical fish diseases</b> can be caused by everything from stress to decomposing substances contaminating the water. Here are a few tips to prevent and treat diverse diseases.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A good way to prevent a number of <b>tropical fish diseases</b> is to clean and monitor your fish tank regularly. Get rid of any dead fish or decomposing plant matter as soon as you find it. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you have any specially fragile fish, it may be a good idea to quarantine them by placing them into small plastic bags while you clean. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Over feeding or feeding your fish the wrong things can result in a number of <b>tropical fish diseases </b>too. In addition to being hard on their digestive systems, neglected food tends to release harmful amounts of ammonia and nitrate into the water, especially meat flakes or neglected live food. The decaying of the food also drastically effects the oxygen and pH levels in the water as well, which can be extremely hard on both strong and fragile fish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, simple stress can cause a broad variety of <b>tropical fish diseases</b>. Signs of stress can include anything from drastic color changes in your fish to changes in behavior.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Common signs include gasping, clamped fins, trouble swimming and others. In noticing these signs quickly, you can diagnose different disorders and have them treated as soon as possible. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You can decrease stress by turning off your fish tank's light at night, refraining from tapping on the glass, and making sure there are no extreme changes in the water temperature.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These causes often consequence in a diversity of <b>tropical fish diseases</b>.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Velvet</i></b>, for example, is when there are white spots obvious on the scales. This is usually caused by parasites and treated easily.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i> Ich or White Spot</i></b>, is a similar disease that is usually caused by heightened stress levels. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>Fin rot</i></b> is caused by the presence of a malignant bacteria in the water that bit by bit eats away at your fish. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, the dreadful <b><i>Dropsy </i></b>is characterised by swollen bodies and scales that stand out from the body. There is usually no treatment for this—the best thing to do is to get rid of the fish before it spreads to others in your fish tank.

You can begin by choosing gravel. These range in shape, size, and color, allowing you to enjoy the natural look of a real tropical setting or a wild, insane color scheme depending on your personal taste. Granted that, when adding gravel to your tank water, it's crucial to let the tank sit for a day or so to let the dust in the gravel settle.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Once that is done, you're ready to buy accessories for your <b><b>tropical fish</b> aquarium</b>. These include large stones, plants, driftwood and small decorations. These are useful in a diversity of ways, as they not only take up space, but they also ensure places for your fish to sleep or hide.<br />
<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B001BS9OBQ&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B001LUMTRK&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>However, when choosing plants, be sure that you don't plan on purchasing herbivorous fish. If you plan on purchasing real plants, the fish will quickly eat them. There are a broad range of fake plants available, from wild neon designs to startlingly natural fronds, but make sure before you purchase that they are of good quality, otherwise you will unknowingly poison your tank with dyes and chemicals.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Given these facts, you will also need a quality heater and filter for your <b><b>tropical fish</b> aquarium</b>. Most tanks function well at around 77 degrees Fahrenheit. If you can afford it, be sure to buy a heater that comes with a memory function.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This will help substantially in preventing extreme temperature fluctuations. In addition to that, your filter will help clean your tank of fish waste, decomposing plants and other contaminants between tank cleanings.<br />
<br />

Once you have these essentials, it's time for the really fun part. choosing your fish is an exciting part of any aquarium setup. Although, it is appealing to have a tank full of gem glorious beauties, you should make sure that they're appropriate for your tank first. <br />
<br />
For example, many tropical fish are aggressive, to the point where they will assault fishes even outside their own species. A classic example of this is the Siamese fighting fish. If you plan on including one of these in your tropical fish tank, be sure to include other fish that are well-matched with the Siamese fighting fish.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
<br />
Additionally, if you buy fish that live in schools, such as neon tetras, be sure to buy several of them. Depending on the species, you will need to purchase either an odd numbered school or an even numbered school.<br />

A very useful product is the oxygen stones. These oxygenate your aquarium when loss of electrical power occurs, or when transporting your fish. you should keep a pack of those for emergencies. This small stone generates oxygen when immersed in water, enabling you to keep fish alive without the use of an air pump. It works by a chemical reaction, oxygenating the water. These are suitable for both freshwater and marine.<br />
<br />
In keeping these considerations in mind and more, you will soon be on your way to keeping a beautiful <b><b>tropical fish</b> aquarium</b>! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table>The type of <b>tropical fish food</b> you provide can mean the difference between a healthy, growing fish tank and a Suffering one. Fish, although they are not complex animals, will not always eat what is given to them, and sometimes they may even eat the wrong things entirely! Here are a few tips regarding what to feed your tropical fish.<br />
<div style="text-align: right;"></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are two main types of <b>tropical fish food</b> to consider: manufactured fish food and natural fish food. Depending on the size of your fish tank and the creatures in it, you may need a broad diversity of different food types just to keep everyone happy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B00025K10C&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B001Q9EGEU&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe> Manufactured <b>tropical fish food</b> is a perfect form for many aquarium keepers. These come in the form of pellets, flakes, tablets and also liquids. What many don't know about tropical fish is that they require complex diets just as we do. No matter of whether your fish are herbivorous, omnivorous or carnivorous, they still need carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals just like any creature. Fortunately, there are many high quality brands of manufactured foods that provide your fish with everything they need.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table>Many fish owners also choose natural <b>tropical fish food</b>, specially for carnivores and omnivores. These include foods such as freeze dried brine shrimp or blood worms. This is a perfect way to introduce your fish to the types of food it would usually pursue in the wild.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many fish owners also keep these as treats between meals of manufactured pellets or flakes. You can even find live food such as feeder fish, water fleas or larvae at specialty fish stores.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When feeding your fish, be sure never to feed them more than what they can consume quickly. While it isn't the end of the world if a few pellets or flakes reach the bottom of the fish tank, too much feeding can cause food rotting, which not only dirties your fish tank, but lowers its oxygen content as well. Normally it only takes a small pinch.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0002ARSCQ&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B00026Z444&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe> In Addition, try to feed your fish in a way where each type of fish gets a chance to eat without interruption.For example, feed the surface feeders first, then drop the pellets for the bottom feeders. This will keep other fish from eating food that doesn't belong to them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table>Do you need <b>neon lights for </b><b>tropical fish tank</b>? The truth of the matter is that it depends on the type of fish tank you own. Practically all starter tanks come with a basic fluorescent light, while tanks that have large amounts of plant life, coral, anemones, and other creatures may need something much stronger. Here are a few tips for when considering <b>neon lights for </b><b>tropical fish tank</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many fish owners think that fish don't need any light at all. While fish aren't dependent on food from it the way other creatures are, the quantity of light they get each day does impact their total health. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Like humans, diurnal fish benefit from having a light on during the day. It also helps specify when nocturnal species should sleep. However, leaving it on too much can cause stress in most species, especially the nocturnal variety who choose to sneak out when it's dark.<br />

Some of these lights are very powerful indeed and can significantly impact the temperature of your fish tank. While many of the hotter lights come with fans to help regulate the temperature, you may need an extra chiller machine to help keep your fish tank cool.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course, it's crucial to make sure you have the best<b> neon lights for </b><b>tropical fish tank</b> to suit your unique situation. Some corals, for example, require less light than others. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Other lights may encourage the development of algae but do very little for your live plants. In making absolutely sure that you have the right lights for your fish tank, you will be playing an important role in maintaining the equilibrium of your fish tank.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another reward to <b>neon lights for </b><b>tropical fish tank</b> is that they come in different subtle colors. Have you ever noticed that many saltwater tanks have a whitish blue touch to them? This is because this hue by nature brings out the intense colors of the coral and tropical fish to a virtually dazzling degree.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you'd rather add a mellower tone to your fish tank, try <b>neon lights for </b><b>tropical fish tank</b> that have a softer yellow or red hue.

</tbody></table>There are many things you can use for hiding places in tropical fish tank. The most common items include plants, hunks of driftwood, and even large sea shells.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These natural hiding places allow your fish a chance to hide from other fish or just find a moment of solitude. If you have nocturnal species, it's also crucial to give them places to sleep during the day. As I was saying, tropical fish seldom like being stuck out in the open.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The cause hiding places in tropical fish tank are so effective at lowering stress is because it mirrors what life is like in the wild. Their natural habitats are the type to have lots of plants and rocks and dim spots to hide from predators.<br />

<a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When shopping for supplies for your saltwater tank, regard items such as gravel, plants, rocks, and other tank furnishings as well as equipment such as water filters, heaters, and thermometers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b>Gravel and sand :</b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Gravel and sand are both great bases for tanks. However, as sand takes a bit longer to settle down than gravel, many choose gravel. Gravel also comes in a broad choice of colours, shapes, sizes, and materials, allowing you to create a natural tropical heaven or go wild with your own choice in colours and textures. Sand and gravel are also necessary for grounding plants, rocks, and other decorations.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's a good idea to have at least a few plants when <b>setting up a </b><b><b>tropical fish</b> tank</b>. Many love live plants due to their natural appearance and the natural rise of oxygen they give to the tank. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, as live plants are sometimes nibbled on by herbivorous fish, others choose plastic plants. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also keep in mind that live plants can bring in parasites to your tank, especially since snails lay eggs on the lowerside of them. Frequently many don't realise their tank has been infested at all until they see thousands of tiny snails eating their live plants and even bothering the fish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Are you interested in the<b> different classes of tropical fish</b> you can keep together? Whether you're considering a freshwater or saltwater fish tank, you have a broad assortment to choose from! Here are a few examples of the different types of tropical fish available.<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

When it comes to identifying the <b>different classes of tropical fish</b>, freshwater species incline to be the most prominent in beginner tanks. For example, tetras are a common presence in many tanks due to their overall heartiness and superb colors. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Similar in shape and size are guppies. These types of tropical fish are also beneficial in that they're schooling fish, which allows you to keep several different colours in the same fish tank.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another one of the different classes of tropical fish include aggressive carnivores such as Siamese fighting fish, cichlids, and killifishes. These are gorgeous additions to any fish tank, but you have to be careful about what kind of fish to include with them. Smaller fish, such as tetras, are likely to be eaten, while other species of fish may suffer serious assault from these fish. In researching what kinds of fish are compatible with these predators, however, they can be a largely harmless member of your fish tank. <br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><div class="zemanta-img separator zemanta-action-dragged" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fish2.png" style="display: block; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens), proba..." height="185" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ea/Fish2.png/300px-Fish2.png" style="border: medium none; font-size: 0.8em;" width="300" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fish2.png">Wikipedia</a></span></div></td></tr>

</tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the fun things about owning bigger carnivores is that they often eat live or freeze dried food, such as mosquito larvae, blood worms, and seawater shrimp. Some fish owners even catch live mosquitoes or flies for their fish to enjoy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">From another point of view, as for freshwater fish, there are a broad selection of <b>different classes of tropical fish</b>. These include possibly dangerous fish such as lion fish, puffer fish, or tangs, all of which have sharp fins or spines for protection. However, as these fish rarely use these implements except for when they're under stress, they aren't impossible to house with other tropical fish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Other interesting fish tank creatures include animals that aren't fish at all, but are delightful additions to any fish tank. These include octopi, cuttlefish, peacock mantis shrimps, crabs, eels, starfish, and more. While feeding these creatures can mean a bit more work for you, it's more than worth it to be able to let in these creatures in your environment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These are only a few of the different classes of tropical fish.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B001QCX2GU&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B004Y1OQB0&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><br />
Basic fish tank maintenance is essential for <b><b>tropical fish</b> care</b>. In cleaning up your fish tank regularly, having proper feeding schedules, and merely keeping an eye on how things are going, you can keep a broad range of mishaps from happening.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, a little can go a long way when it comes to keeping your fish tank clean and healthy—it's not hard if you keep up with it. When cleaning your fish tank, be sure not to change all of the water completely, as there are really useful bacteria that help keep your fish healthy and consume wastes. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
You can also make cleaning your fish tank substantially easy by only giving your fish enough food to live on. Overfeeding your fish results in the food falling down into the gravel, where it rots. Not only does this make your fish tank dirty, but it can affect oxygen levels as well.<br />

Fish food comes in a broad diversity of forms, both processed and unprocessed. When feeding your fish, try not to overfeed them. Additionally, try to feed them in an order where everyone is able to feed uninterrupted. This includes feeding the surface feeders first, then dropping a few tablets or pellets for the bottom feeders. This ensures that no one is hungry.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, watch the behaviour of your fish. If you notice any changes in size, color or scale shape, this may be a sign that something is about to go wrong. Additionally, if you notice any blurry growths on your fish or that it seems to struggle to breathe or swim, your fish may be sick.<br />

It also provides a calm environment for your fish to recover. You can quarantine the fish by putting it in a separate aquarium. If you don't have another fish tank, you can keep your fish separated from the others by using a quarantine box. Just keep the sick fish within the box, then attach it to the edge of the aquarium. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Purchasing<b> live tropical fish</b> for your fish tank can be rather an adventure. Ho<br />
wever, it's important to be careful, as buying the wrong fish can completely disrupt the delicate world you've created.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Whether you have a freshwater fish tank or a saltwater fish tank, the same rules apply. Here are a few tips to regard when purchasing <b>live tropical fish</b>. Did you know that many <b>live tropical fish</b> are sold as babies or juveniles? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table>This means that their color, behavior, or even sizing can change as they age. This is a crucial thing to consider when introducing it to your fish tank. After all, some species that may seem rather small as young fish can grow rather large as adults. This is a common fault many make when choosing an unfamiliar species months pass and suddenly their new fish is too big for their fish tank.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another aspect is that when purchasing <b>live tropical fish</b>, it's a good idea to gradually build toward having several types of fish in your fish tank. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These include bottom feeders, middle dwellers, and surface dwellers. Not only will this bring a nice sense of equilibrium to your fish tank, but it will also work wonders for keeping the ecosystem balanced as each fish performs its own role. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Be sure to keep the dietary requirements of l<b>ive tropical fish</b> firmly in mind as well. Avoid purchasing smaller fish if you have a large carnivore or omnivore in your fish tank. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also resource our <b>live tropical fish</b> thoroughly to make sure you're purchasing fish that are compatible with one another. An aggressive fish can greatly disrupt the fish tank's total wellness as fish are reduced to stressed, infection prone creatures from constant attacks from the territorial fish.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Additionally, if you purchase fish that usually belong in schools, be sure to have at least a small group of them in your fish tank. Not only is a solitary school dwelling fish a pitiful sight indeed, but it's more susceptible to accidents or illness.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, when browsing for <b>live tropical fish</b>, keep away from stores that have ill or dead fish in their tanks. This indicates neglect. Quality stores at least tag tanks with sick fish in them and make an attempt to cure the disease in a timely, efficient manner. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table>Do you ever wonder where the exotic freshwater and seawater fish in your favorite fish stores come from?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The method for harvesting various tropical fish is a strong subject of debate among many. Some believe that fetching fish from the wild is a perfect way to create stronger breeding programs, while others think that tank breeding is a more environmentally safe way. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When it comes to acquiring the best fish available, <b>tropical fish farms</b> are a great option to wild fish.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why are <b>tropical fish farms</b> so convenient? For one, they have access to superior breeding technology, quality food, clean fish tanks and vast storage spaces, allowing them to create a complex breeding program without overcrowding their fish. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition to being capable of producing a vast quantity of quality tropical fish, breeding them in tanks keeps them from encountering various diseases and infections they would in the wild. Many <b>tropical fish farms</b> also have veterinarians and certified experts on hand to observe and treat the fish.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A distinct reward to <b>tropical fish farms</b> having so many healthy fish at their disposal is that there are more colours, shapes and sizes available. This makes customizing orders much easier—if you need a certain amount of a particular kind, you will have no trouble finding the precise number you need at prices you can afford.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Better yet, many fish farms have no particular bound regarding how many fish you can order—you can buy as few or as many as you like.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When it comes to ordering from <b>tropical fish farms</b>, it's best to do so from inside the US rather than from across the world. This will put considerably less stress on the fish on the long run. This also allows you to receive the fish much faster. The sooner the fish are at your door, the sooner you can get them settled in their new tanks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><b>Tropical fish collecting</b> is a hobby enjoyed by fish owners country wide. If you have a simple freshwater fish tank or a sprawling seawater fish tank, taking care of your own aquarium is a rewarding and gratifying pursuit. Not only do you get to enjoy the company of a diversity of different fish, but you get to care for your own little window into the natural world. I'll tell you a few tips on <b>tropical fish collecting</b> to help you get started.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first step to start your own fish tank is to find the right supplies. These include gravel or sand for the base and a diversity of plants, pieces of driftwood or stones. Also necessary is a fine heater, a thermometer, a filter and a quality test kit for examining levels of elements such as ammonia, calcium, nitrate and more. This concept applies to both freshwater and saltwater tanks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0006JLOD2&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0002AQI8G&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>The type of gravel or sand that you select can be very crucial for both your fish and your overall sense of aesthetics. For gravel, there is a broad choice of colours, textures, sizes, and more. Not only is it some kind of base necessary for grounding plants, logs, and other furnishing, but some species of fish really use it to lay eggs in.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Choosing the right plants for your fish tank is a significant part of <b>tropical fish collecting</b>. Live plants provide your fish tank with much required oxygen and are useful for fish to glide against, hide behind or sleep near. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>However, keep in mind that if you have any herbivorous or omnivorous fish, they may eat your live plants if you don't include a vegetable supplement with their food. Fake plants also come in a broad diversity of shapes, sizes, and colours if you'd like some more variety. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, driftwood and large rocks can provide your fish with much required privacy and sleeping spots.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once you've completed these essentials, it is time to begin your <b>tropical fish collecting</b>. Many new fish tank owners start with simple fish such as tetras, guppies, and rasboras. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B0002DIGS8&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=imremamousimk-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B00026Z43U&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>Once you've kept these fish healthy and pleased for a few months, you can start cautiously introducing new fish into your environment. Keeping in mind that some species of freshwater fish are rather aggressive and may not be well-matched with your fish. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, if you have a diversity of small fish, avoid including bigger predators, such as cichlids, as you may wake up to find your fish tank empty except for one lone, smug fish. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table>A top quality <b>tropical fish shop</b> is a bonanza to any aquarium owner. There is nothing quite like being able to depend on staff members who are educated about the care and feeding of fish.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, a quality fish shop should have a broad choice of different plants, decorations, foods, fish tank sizes and other products. Unfortunately, there are many fish stores that are more about selling fish than they are about doing what is better for the fish. The following are a few tips on what to look for in a great<b> tropical fish store</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A good way to test a <b>tropical fish shop</b> is to just roam around for a while inside. This typically takes more than one visit to learn for sure. Do you notice that the shop seems to lose more fish to disease than they do by really selling them? Do you notice any filthy or overcrowded fish tanks? Do the fish seem excessively stressed out? Do you see bigger fish that are in fish tanks that are too small for them? These are distinguishing signs of fish neglect and should be an instant turn off for any serious fish owner.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><i>A note about sick fish:</i> Finding fish tanks with sick fish in them is an inevitable experience for literally any <b>tropical fish store</b>. Thought, the difference between a good shop and a bad shop is that typically a good shop will mark these fish tanks as bad for purchasing from, while a bad store will merely let the fish tank be.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition to this, a good fish shop will check their fish tanks on a regular basis and promptly remove any dead fish and other obvious contaminants from them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The staff at a <b>tropical fish shop</b> are also important. Typically, they should be well enlightened and accustomed to working with fish. This is especially essential if you are new to keeping fish and have questions. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If the staff has no idea regarding which fish are compatible with others, for example, it's a signal that it's time to leave and search for service somewhere else. While fish shop staff are not vets, they should be able to distinguish and recommend treatment for diverse diseases as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once you've found a perfect <b>tropical fish store</b>, you'll see just how good it is to be able to have somebody to go to with questions regarding gravel types, water adjustments, food, live plants, cleaning techniques and more.

</tbody></table>If you're starting a whole new tank or you're adding a new friend to your current tank, learning more about <b>tropical fish species</b> is an exciting part of aquarium keeping. Each fish has its own temperament, dietary requirements, and well-matched tank mates. Here are a few things to weigh when purchasing <b>tropical fish species</b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The best way to start a new tank is to start small and add to it as you get more experienced with your own personal ecosystem. Each tank is different, with different requirements, and there is no disgrace in taking time and caution to learn more. If you have a new tank, start with strong, non-aggressive fish such as mollies, tetras, rainbow fish, or rasboras.<br />
<br />
If you decide to include fish that are herbivores, make sure not to have any live plants in your tank, as your new fish will be more than pleased to eat them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a><br />
You can even include <b>tropical fish species</b> that help in regulating tank life. These include species such as catfish, which are natural bottom feeders. Suckermouth catfishes, such as the plecostomus, are known for traveling up and down the glass as they eat algae, resulting in a naturally clean tank. Cleaning shrimp, crabs, and others make perfect cleaning species.<br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><div class="zemanta-img separator zemanta-action-dragged" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25410218@N05/3521527971" style="display: block; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Plecostomus" height="214" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3658/3521527971_f8d70c1d6d_m.jpg" style="border: medium none; font-size: 0.8em;" width="320" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Image by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/25410218@N05/3521527971">i-saint</a> via Flickr</span></div></td></tr>

</tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A common problem with <b>tropical fish species</b> is their temperaments. you just can't fill a tank full of whatever fish you like. There are fish that are shy, fish that are aggressive, fish that prosper in schools, and even fish that do best when there is only one of their kind in the tank.<br />
<br />
It's essential to keep these points in mind. To pair up an aggressive fish, for example, with tank mates that it is incompatible with will have fatal results. Not only will the rest of your fish live in horror as they are always attacked, but it will even stress out the aggressive fish. Learning about these temperaments and choosing your fish accordingly is one of the most crucial keys to keeping a peaceful tank.<br />
<br />

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Banded Cleaner Shrimp</td></tr>
</tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, dietary requirements play a significant part in choosing <b>tropical fish species</b>. While it is possible for herbivores and carnivores to live peacefully together in the same tank, it's not a good idea to include smaller herbivores, as the carnivore may probably eat them.<br />
<br />
Keep this in mind when keeping live bearing fish as well—nothing is more frustrating than losing all of your fry because the carnivore in your tank snapped them all up before you could quarantine them.

Whether you're thinking of keeping a freshwater or a saltwater tank, there are a lot of different categories to consider. Here are a few examples of the different <b>types of tropical fish</b> to select from. <a name='more'></a><br />

</tbody></table>Tropical fish fall under two main categories: freshwater and saltwater. However, aspects such as species, diet, temperament, size, shape, and color are all important traits to consider as well. Not only do these appeal to artistic tastes, but they can impact the result of your tank as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Freshwater tropical fish are known for being the best for those just starting out with tanks, but they're a popular choice for aquarium experts as well. This is mostly because these <b>types of tropical fish</b> are much easier to find, not to mention take care of. They come in a broad variety of different colors and shapes, leaving you with just as many creative choices as you would get with a seawater tank.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When choosing these <b>types of tropical fish</b>, there are lots of things to consider. For example, there are herbivorous, omnivorous, and carnivorous fish. There are aggressive fish and there are shy fish. There are egg layers and live birthers. There are smaller fish, such as tetras, that prefer to function in small schools rather than by themselves.<br />

Saltwater fish are known for their vibrant, exotic colors, unusual shapes, and odd temperaments. In addition to taking care of a variety of strange fish, what makes seawater tanks unique is that many of them contain what is referred to as live rock. This rock contains traces of coral, anemones, and other invertebrates.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For this reason, many of these <b>types of tropical fish</b> are difficult to take care of, as many of them consume coral or sponge in the wild. However, these diets can be supplemented with clams, oysters, and other foods, as well as manufactured food that contains trace of sponge.Other saltwater fish require vegetable supplements to make up for algae.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition to their odd dietary requirements, seawater fish tend to have unusual temperaments as well. Some bigger fish may not act very territorial, except when they see another of its kind. Others will attack any fish it is incompatible with rather aggressively. Given that many seawater fish have spines, teeth, and even poison, it's best to make sure that your tank remains a peaceful place.

Including both species that are harvested from the wild and tank bred animals. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name='more'></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are many seawater tropical fish available online that are actually astonishing specimens, such as blue ringed octopus, blue lipped clams, peacock mantis shrimp and more. In many events, online relator's allow you to order species from their website and then pick them up at their physical store, saving you the time and stress of having them shipped to your doorstep.<br />

However, the downside to buying <b>tropical fish online</b> is that you are denied the experience of shopping in a quality fish store. In my view, this can impact your buy quite a bit. While ideal online fish stores can show you actual pictures of their animals and give you exact depictions of their specifications, that tells you nothing about the animal's personality or how it reacts to your presence. When it comes to ordering a small freshwater Frog online and seeing a small freshwater frog react to your voice, fingers and presence, it's easy to see which of the two experiences gives you more information about what kind of creature you are acquiring for your tank.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When scooping out a new fish store, there are a variety of different things to look for. Learning whether or not the shop is a quality one may take a few visits, though there are a few instant turn offs that should send any dedicated fish owner scurrying for the door. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These include dirty, neglected tanks, tanks with Apparently sick or dying fish that haven't been tagged as a sick fish tank, or fish tanks that are overcrowded or full of fish that are simply too large to thrive there.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If your <b>wholesale tropical fish</b> store reveals that it takes care of its fish, there are other things to consider. Are the staff well educated? There is a difference between a staff member who will recommend different foods, plants, and even fish based on educated facts and an employee who is just trying to sell you something. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A good fish shop worker will inform you if he or she thinks that your buying decision is ideal for the total health and safety of your tank. They will also be able to give you advice regarding disease treatments, introducing new fish, and much more.<br />

</tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, a good <b>wholesale tropical fish</b> store should be diverse. Many caliber stores contain both saltwater and freshwater tanks. This is especially ideal if you're looking for a creature that is especially rare or difficult to take care of, but even if you're a new tank owner, having a wide pick of fish, shrimps, crabs, and other creatures is ideal for introducing you to species you may have never learned about otherwise.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Similarly, if you check out a <b>wholesale tropical fish</b> shop that specializes solely in seawater products, be sure that the shop is well stocked with different salts, live rock, well developed coral polyps, and more. As with freshwater stores, be sure that the contents of the tank look healthy. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A good sign that you have encountered healthy, happy fish is that they are darting around energetically or making use of the sleeping or hiding places inside their tank. If you encounter fish that look listless and unhealthy, or live rock that is covered in brown mold, it's time to check other <b>wholesale tropical fish</b> stores.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=9c277a80-407b-465b-a39a-740a05d7e44b" style="border: medium none; float: right;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
