The Tropical Fish Guide – Avoiding Pitfalls and Difficult Fish

The tropical fish guide will tell you that marine fish can be difficult. They are often more aggressive than freshwater fish particularly with members of their own species. It is often advisable not to have more than one of each species in a tank unless you are completely sure that you own a male and female.

Knowing a little about each species you own will help you to care for your fish better. A tropical fish guide is a great source of information on what to feed the fish. There are four main categories of fish food being flakes, live food, frozen or household foods. Commercially prepared food is often the safest as they are less likely to contain parasites than the household foods would be. You can buy them in different sized pellets as some larger fish prefer to eat large flakes. Also fish that live on the bottom of the tank may not come to the top so will need pellets that will fall to the floor of the tank. You should vary the diet of your fish to keep them active and healthy.

Some fish will eat live food. This is best sourced at a pet store rather than collected naturally. You do not know whether the food you collect from the river or stream is clean or not. You could unwittingly cause your fish problems. Some fish love earthworms and brine shrimp. If you collect earthworms from your garden make sure you haven’t used weed killer or any other chemicals or preservatives on your soil. You can grow some live food at home if you wish. All you have to do is buy the starter kits and take it from there.

The tropical fish guide will explain different things about your fish and how best to keep them healthy and happy which is the aim of the game.
