Types of Freshwater Aquarium Fish

Freshwater aquarium fish are much easier to care for compared to saltwater fish so those who would like to add an aquarium to their home or office would be wise to choose freshwater aquarium fish. They can be kept in tanks of various sizes so there are possibilities for a great aquarium display in a small bedroom or a large reception area. Freshwater aquarium fish are more flexible in their filtration requirements. They also can eat most commercially available fish food.

Among the most popular:

Guppies

Guppies prefer water temperatures of about 22? C (72? F) for reproduction. After giving birth, the female is ready for design within a few hours. Guppies can live in a wide range o. Guppies are often bred for their natural colour, so over the years the domestic guppy has grown weaker. As a result, guppies will sometimes die after 2-3 days.

Angelfish

Angelfish, gouramis, and dwarf catfish (Corydoras) can also work well, though at least angelfish are predatory and will eat very small fish such as neon tetras. Angelfish are considered by many to be the most beautiful fish associated with coral reefs. Many members of this family, scientifically known as the Marine angelfish, grow too large for small and medium-size home aquariums.

Tetras

Tetra's do quite well on regular feeding dried or freeze-dried foods in aquaria and some frozen brine shrimp now and then. Tetrahymena is a teardrop-shaped ciliate (Figure 4) that moves along the outside of the host. The presence of Tetrahymena on the body surface in low numbers (less than five organisms per low power field) is probably not significant.

Having freshwater aquarium fish is a very rewarding experience, I highly recommend it.
