Fairly easy to care for and pleasing to the eye, there are various species that will make a perfect addition to your home. Whether you choose your finned companion based on size, color, or unique attributes, the next step in proper fish ownership is familiarizing yourself with Nemo\u2019s specific care requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before bringing your new aquarium fish home, there are some important things to consider. Primarily, you need to keep in mind the size the fish will grow to be, their tolerance of other fish, and their specific water requirements in order to find the perfect aquarium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are two basic types of small aquariums: freshwater (tropical and temperate) and marine (saltwater), which should both be no smaller than 36 liters,\u201d said Caitlin Burrell, a zoological medicine intern at the Texas A&amp;M College of Veterinary Medicine &amp; Biomedical Sciences. \u201cLarger fish, or fish with high oxygen requirements, are better suited for large aquariums or ponds.\u201d Some common freshwater species suited for smaller aquariums are tetras, guppies, discus, danios, and various types of goldfish. Common saltwater species could include clownfish, damselfish, gobies, and blennies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burrell also recommends that before putting different species together in one aquarium, you should research their individual needs to ensure they are compatible and won\u2019t show aggression. \u201cMarine fish in general are not often kept in large groups in home aquariums, and it is important to make sure that fish housed together in one aquarium spend their time at different levels (for example, bottom-dwellers and midwater fish) to avoid overcrowding,\u201d said Burrell. \u201cAdditionally, there are more aggressive fish that typically do not pair well with other fish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/tamuvetmed.wpengine.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/11\/fish-2-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"another fish\" class=\"wp-image-4945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vetmed.tamu.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/11\/fish-2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/vetmed.tamu.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2013\/11\/fish-2.jpg 288w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve purchased the perfect aquarium for your fish, you must learn how to keep them happy and healthy while living in their new home. \u201cOne of the most important aspects of a home aquarium is the water quality,\u201d said Burrell. \u201cThings like pH, temperature, dissolved gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen), salinity, and nitrogenous compounds need to be monitored closely, and partial water changes should be performed on a regular basis.\u201d Just make sure that your fish doesn\u2019t execute his escape plan during your routine aquarium cleaning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any other pet, feeding requirements vary greatly between species of fish. \u201cMarine fish can be carnivores, omnivores, or herbivores, so it is important to research the type of fish to know what type of food to feed them,\u201d said Burrell. For freshwater fish, many commercial foods are available, and can be found for any type of fish. It is best to supply small amounts frequently to avoid excess food sitting in the tank and decomposing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From aquarium specifications to feeding requirements, the responsibly of caring for your fish should not be taken lightly. However, after thoroughly researching how to properly care for your new finned friend, Nemo will undoubtedly be happy to call his new aquarium home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pet Talk is a service of the College of Veterinary Medicine &amp; Biomedical Sciences, Texas A&amp;M University.
