When it comes to tropical fish in your home aquariums there are several options. The most favorite of them all is the angelfish. It is the best choice because this fish comes in a variety of shapes and colors. Of the three categories of angelfish Pterophyllum scalare is the most famous among fish keepers.

This fish has a life of up to ten years if taken care of. It grows to a length of around six inches and is absolutely stunning. The interesting thing about them is that they change colors with age and changing mood.

If you want to have angelfish, get six or eight of them. The fish should be of the same age. Do not choose fish which are fully grown. You can choose the fish according to the color that pleases you.

If you already have a home aquarium and are thinking about adding angelfish to it then you should add three to four fish at one time. This will make sure that the fish adapt to the new environment.

These fish are very active and hence need a lot of space to swim and play around. They also like to have a few plants around them. They maintain a very social profile and want to hang out in groups.

When buying the angelfish, make sure that they are of proper age and in good health. Notice how they communicate with other fish and decide if the fish are friendly or not.

All in all, angelfish make great pets. This is because they are mostly found in a good mood. But if some other fish attacks their fry, they do get aggressive and do not spare those fish. So when the breeding season comes, you should take out the angelfish and put them in a separate tank. Otherwise, these fish are very friendly and will make your aquarium look brighter.

You can have many decoration pieces in your home but a home aquarium will stand out among all of them if you have one. There are two types of home aquariums, salt water aquariums and fresh water or tropical aquariums. Freshwater ones are mostly preferred over the other ones. This is because of the easy availability of tropical fish. They are present in tropical rainforests, swamps and rice fields as well.

The tropical fish are popular because of their bright colors. They are also very active. The maintenance needed for tropical aquariums is far less than any other aquarium. When you are adding fish to it, make sure that you have fish which keep the tank clean such as shark or catfish that swim closer to the base and help in keeping the aquarium clean.

Make sure that your aquarium is not too crowded. Only keep the number of fish that are easily accommodated. If you have tropical fish in your aquarium, keep the ratio of fish to the tank space one is to four.

In apartments, most of the times you're not allowed to keep pets because of cleanliness issue. But you should be happy to know that fish are not considered as pets as they do not involve much maintenance.

You can also get your home aquarium fitted onto a wall. This will be a kind of a moving picture. It should be noted, however that this will require more maintenance than any other type of aquarium. You can also vary the amount and type of lighting that you have in your aquarium. The light shouldn't be too bright as fish are not very comfortable that way. It should be, however good enough for you to see the fish moving around.

A fish aquarium is not only a piece of that adds beauty to your home but it is also fun to keep one. Here are few tips for you to set up a great home aquarium.

1. Choose an appropriate aquarium for your home.

Before getting a home aquarium, decide about it's size. A good way is by measuring the dimensions of the place where you want to place your aquarium. Don't buy a very large tank as it will become difficult to maintain it. Also, it is difficult to grow plants in extremely large aquariums. They will need light for their growth too so you will need to have a good light source that reaches to the bottom too.

2. Buy everything beforehand.

You should have all the equipment you need for your home aquarium. Some of the things that you should have ready before are aquarium with its lid, heater, replacement filter, substrate of your choice, aquarium filter, fish food etc.

3. Keep a close watch over your home aquarium.

Keep checking the water in your aquarium for any algae growth or fungus. Parasites can enter your aquarium through infected fish too. You have to look closely because it doesn't take long before the infection spreads throughout the water. Isolate the fish which are infected as soon as you find out about them.

Whenever you get new fish for your home aquarium, make sure that you first keep them in a separate tank to see if they have any health issues. Also, this helps the fish to acclimatize to their new surroundings. When you add a lot of fish to the aquarium at once, you'll surely face ammonia problems which can even kill the fish.

4. Choose your fish wisely.

All the fish are not friendly with each other. So you have to select only the fish which get along well with each other. Study about different fish and their behavior before you make a choice. This way you'll know how to take care of the new fish.

5. Don't over feed your fish!

Many a times young fish die because of overfeeding so avoid this habit.

All these tips should be kept in mind when setting up a home aquarium.

If you don't have ample amount of information about keeping a home aquarium, you are very likely to land in a great mess. All the money you've put into it will go to waste as well. Not only that, but also the time and materials as well. This article is going to help you stay safe from any such trouble.

Before getting any fish for your home aquarium, note this fact that all fish do not live peacefully with each other. The degree of their activity should somehow match with each other. An aggressive fish cannot live with the fish which are timid in nature. And I'm sure you don't want fish to define territories for themselves and fight over them. After all, guppies can't survive with carnivorous fish, that's common sense. For help in this regard, you should ask the owner of your pet shop yo help you out. The only way you can learn about this topic is by research and discussion with others.

The second tip is about cleanliness! It should never ever be neglected in any case. A filter for your aquarium is the most essential part of the whole equipment used in the home aquarium. You should keep regular check about this. Clean the filter on regular basis. This will keep the fish healthy for long periods of time.

Another important tip that will keep your aquarium attractive and beautiful is hard work. Whenever you work hard on something, it surely reflects that. You should keep a record of the maintenance and cleaning routine because we've all heard that excess of anything is bad. It'll take some time for your home aquarium to get in shape and this will require some hard work so be patient and start working!
