3 Tips To Purchase Healthy Tropical Fish For Your Salt Saltwater Aquarium
1. Buy tropical fish from reputed pet shops
The tropical Fish Tank is more expensive than the fresh water ones and even the maintenance is more costly. Tropical fish are expensive investments and you have to make sure that when you buy the fish they are in a healthy condition and do not infect the existing fish in your tank and then you will loose them all. The best way to ensure this is to get your fish from a well known reputable pet store so that they are not diseased when you buy them. You will be able to get some idea of the kind of stuff a Pet Shop has by the odor in the shop. If there is the smell of rotting vegetation and fish food around the shop then just do not buy anything from them but walk away from here. Shops that do not maintain the freshness of their store are obviously not concerned with the upkeep and proper maintenance of what they have in their store.
2. Overall impressions of a pet store
You could go around the pet store and check out the stuff to see whether they are maintained in a clean tidy way or not and this will give you some useful ideas. All the tanks should be clean and the fish healthy to look at. If there are listless fish that are not moving around much be careful of what you buy from here. Some shops have a separate tank for keeping fish that are quarantined.
In case there are not many customers around the shop the staff should be cleaning the place and taking care of the fish feed. While handling the fish to remove them from the tank for cleaning the tank, the person should have two nets instead of one and not stress the fish out by chasing it around the tank with one net. The staff should be friendly and attentive and provide you with all the information that you require.
Normally there are fish dying always in tanks, but if you find more than 3 dead fish in a tank then do not buy from this place. You can overlook two dead fish not being removed, but more than that cannot be excused. This creates a slack impression on the aprt of the staff in the pet store.
While you are looking at fish that you want to buy for your tropical aquarium watch out for signs of their physical condition. Look at the eyes, abdomens, scales, mouths and fins to see if they are healthy. Place your hand close to the glass of the tank and watch the reaction of the fish, they should either dart away from your hand, or come towards it with curiosity. If the fish appear to be listless and do not have any sort of reaction then it is better that you do not buy any from here.
3. Get to know the compatibility of fish before you buy them
To get different kinds of fish together in the same tank you will have to know whether they are going to live together in peaceful harmony or harm each other first and foremost. The next thing is to know that their living conditions are the same and they required the same water and environmental conditions and that this does not differ, because if this is so your will loose many of your fish.
The eating habits of the fish differ, and if you are getting predatory fish then you will have to get live bait or frozen food for them. So if you are getting predatory fish then make sure that you keep the bait alive and the frozen food fresh. You may need a separate smaller tank for the food. In case you want to add coral to your salt water fish tank, then make sure that the fish are compatible to coral. If you are careful with all these conditions you should not have any problem with your fish.
