Aquariums Are Not Fish Tanks


Aquarium, what a wonderful word, simply, it sort of language to the effectiveness of the texture of silk. Although of course the words "fish tanks" conjours up a bleak and hostile environment for the well-being of our friends fish.

Aquariums when properly installed and maintained offset often attract praise and admiration of passing travelers, while fish tanks rarely a second aspect, unless of course be considered in their aquatic environment store.

Aquariums should be a feast for the eyes and a home for fish that occupy them. Aquariums should be filled with color and life imitates and possibly reproduced a small part of the real thing.

Fish tanks on the other hand are simply glass boxes for the conservation of fish. Without plants, rocks and wood, the aquarium in the world is certainly not where I choose to take if I were a fish. However, they are a means to an end for the aquatic store where you will find a feast of fish in their glass walls ready and willing, even pleaded to be taken by their new owners and comfort of well-planted, aquascaped aquariums.

To begin to transform the fish tanks in aquariums all starts with a floor. The carpets are certainly not found at the bottom of rivers, lakes and estuaries and, therefore, for more aquarium plants for fish to hide, play and generate attention decision must be made by the aquarium (Aquarium amateur), as the types of suitable substrate. For the purposes of this article I will try to help you in these decisions for the most popular tropical fish.

I suggest you start by laying a layer of 'aqualis "means a plant nutrient to help support the growth and nurturing of your future needs aqaurium plants. This should be about 1 inch deep and fairly evenly distributed throughout the aquarium. In addition, we suggest a layer of "average" grade gravel 3 to 5 mm (3/16th inch). The gravel should be applied so that forward Aquarium of the thickness is about half inch and gradually sloping toward the back of your aquarium at a depth of up to one year and a half inches.

Next would be to add a rock or decorative our preference "bogwood." The choices regarding the scenery is vast and this is where some artistic license is permitted by the aquarium. All we suggest is that you allow enough water from open spaces to allow you to view your fish in their more extroverted moments. You are now ready to add plant life to your aquarium.

Start by choosing smaller species to give the front of the tank with a sense of perspective, gradually wider choice of plants to the corners of the aquarium. Again, the choice is simply astounding and totally to the preference of the buyer. Bushy plants are favorites of most tropical fish, as they may request a quiet and rest for species livebearing available, a place to give birth to their young.

Our wish is that you choose to keep in aquarium fish rather than fish tanks so that fish in the fortunate have a house to live, and you earn the respect and admiration of your friends and family to have such a beautiful image of movement, color living in your home.
