Aquarium structuring and fishkeeping have converted from an old-fashioned hobby to a social media sensation over the last decade as aquascaping and colorful exotic fish have dragged many to the hobby. Whether you're just beginning or looking to build your next aquatic masterpiece, we have everything you require from the industry's top brands.

What is an aquarium?

An aquarium is any clear water-filled tank that houses live fish and other aquatic wildlife, including everything from a goldfish bowl up to an aquatic tunnel attraction. Aquariums are artificial environments and so must be specifically managed and managed to recreate the normal cycles that their residents are used to.

Why should I buy an aquarium?

There are a lot of exceptional reasons to keep an aquarium. First and foremost, they can be as complex or easy as you want them to be and can demand minimum upkeep if you have a busy life. They are also proved to reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure, and aid sleep. If you have children, they are a great educational support as they can be used to teach duty, biology, and the natural cycle of life. There is even anecdotal evidence to suggest that aquariums improve creativity.

What are the main types of aquariums?

There are three main kinds of aquariums, cold water aquariums, tropical aquariums, and marine aquariums. Coldwater aquariums are created to home fish that are kept in a freshwater ecosystem outside of tropical temperatures, such as goldfish, pearl danio, weather loach, koi, and bloodfin tetra. Tropical aquariums are perfect for fish that exist in warm freshwaters, such as African Cichlids, Tinfoil Barbs, and Swordtails. Finally, marine aquariums recreate the oceanic saltwater habitat fit for a wide variety of fish including Clownfish, Damselfish, and Green Chromis.

What should I look for?

Aquariums are a unique and fun design challenge. Planning is important and you should constantly think about the expense of maintenance and upkeep your tank will want and how that will fit into your daily routine, complex tanks can become very time-consuming. Take your time as you build, aquascape, and populate your tank, enjoy the process and you'll be well on your way to becoming a first-class fish keeper.

New Aquarium Checklist

Today I’m going to be explaining the things you need and why you need them when you want to get into the hobby! This is a very long post so get ready for lots of words!

Money

Before you do anything, the first thing you need to make sure you have enough of is money. You can get an aquarium fully set up for as little or as much money as you are willing to spend, but that doesn’t mean your set up will be successful or more importantly, good for the fish. Spending money on the right supplies will save you from spending the money on something cheap that will stop working and cost you, even more, having to replace it or ideally, update with something less likely to fail you.

Expect to pay at least 100$ for a small aquarium, after buying all you need to set things up and stock the tank. If that’s too rich for your blood, I’d suggest a nano tank and a marimo ball. Betta fish should never be in nano tanks. The smallest you should keep them in is 2.5 gallons, 5 is vastly better.

A Place for the Aquarium to Live

For nano aquariums, it should be easy enough to locate a spot to place them and they’re light enough that you don’t have to worry about them destroying whatever you’ve placed it on.

However the larger the aquarium, the harder to find a spot for it and the harder it is to find something that can support its weight. A 20-gallon tank (which is considered small in the hobby) can weigh up to and over 200 pounds once you add in the water, substrate, fish, and decorations. Things only get heavier from here on out.

Once you hit 10 gallons I suggest getting specially made aquarium stands, which can cost you as much as the tank! You can sometimes get them as a packaged deal for a great price. I suggest checking Facebook, Craigslist, Letgo and other kinds of services for used aquarium stands, often, people are trying to sell the tank along with it too, be wary of used aquariums though as you can’t know what has been put in them. The risk of dangerous chemicals being used on them isn’t worth the money saved on getting a used one unless you trust the previous owner.

Do NOT just assume whatever surface you are putting a 10+ gallon aquarium on will support its weight. Trying to clean up the mess of a broken aquarium is an absolute nightmare. Not just for all the debris but chances are your fish won't survive the experience, even if you’re standing there when it happens.

Time

Aquariums aren’t something you can just set and forget, even if you’re doing a nano aquarium that just has a marimo ball, it will still require your time. Aquariums usually require weekly water changes (about 25%+ of the water), monthly filter maintenance, daily feeding, gravel vacuuming, etc. When you’ve got the aquarium set up it’s really not that much work, but you can’t just neglect it, or your fish will die.

Also, take into consideration the lifespan of the fish. Some fish can live for years... even decades. Make certain you’re on board with this before getting a longer-lived species, if you want to see how you take to the hobby start with a shorter-lived species, such as livebearers (Guppies, platies, swordtails, mollies).

Aquarium

This one seems obvious, no aquarium, not fish! But it’s not as easy as you might think. There are 3 kinds of materials used for aquariums, plastic, glass, and acrylic, each with their benefits and drawbacks (or in the case of plastic, mostly negatives). For those new to the aquarium hobby, I suggest glass aquariums. Acrylic is both very expensive and not as easy to come by (the big box stores rarely have these at all). I’ll go into more detail in another post about the choices and which is best depending on your commitment and desires.

Filter

No filter? No aquarium. You can not do a setup without a filter, even in my plant only tank I still have a nano filter. The only thing you can get away with not having a filter is a marimo nano tank, even then you need to agitate the water often to move the moss ball around.

Filters are tied at the top for one of the most important things you need to keep livestock. It isn’t something you should cut corners on and it’s always better to over filter than under filter (with consideration to water flow... you don’t want to put a fast-moving current in a small betta tank).

There are a variety of filters you can use, sponge, internal, canister, HOB (hang on the back), etc. Each one has its uses depending on your set up. Do your research into the kind of filter you’ll need based on the size of your aquarium, as that’s the most important thing to consider. I’ll be writing an in-depth post about the different kinds of filters and the setups they work for.

Heater

Growing up I never once heard about an aquarium heater but they are a vital part of keeping your fish healthy and happy. Freshwater fish are almost exclusively tropical and require water that is warmer than the typical house’s ambient temperature. Depending on the area you live in and the seasons the fluctuation in water temperature can straight up kill fish. Even here in Phoenix, Arizona the change in daytime temp to nighttime temp can be drastic, especially if the tank is near a window. This is non-negotiable, if you have livestock in your tank, you have to have a heater.

Substrate

While you can have a bare-floor tank (quarantine tanks usually work best with bare tanks) there are a variety of reasons why you should have substrate. The biggest one is they are great at housing beneficial bacteria! If you do a bare-floor aquarium and do a big water change and change the filter at the same time you’ve basically just killed all your beneficial bacteria. Why do you need bacteria? It helps break down bad chemicals, without them, your ammonia levels will spike and kill your fish. You’ll notice that’s a common theme of this list, when we bring dogs and cats into our home our environment is already tailored to their basic needs, but with fish, you need to create an entire ecosystem for them to live in.

There are different kinds of substrates, sand, gravel of different sizes and substrate designed specifically for plants. If you want to do a live plant aquarium you’ll need to spring for a lot pricer special substrate, but it’ll help keep your plants happy and healthy. This kind of substrate is also great for shrimp! I’ll make a substrate post to explain the different kinds and the benefits of them!

Live Bacteria/Starter Bacteria

When you first set up a tank you need to cycle it. Dumping water in a tank, even if you have everything else set up fine, even if you dechlorinate water... without beneficial bacteria your tank isn’t ready for fish yet. Some (not good sources) say you only need to cycle for ‘24 hours’ this is a complete NO. You should cycle for at least a week, and to do that you’ll be adding a liquid starter bacteria to your tank daily (smaller tanks it’s usually just one cap of the stuff). You’ll also want to get a large bottle of it (Unless you have a nano tank) as you’ll be using it even after your tank is cycled and set up. 

Water Test Kit

This one is ‘technically’ optional. Many places will offer free water checks (Petco and Petsmart offer them for free, local aquarium specialty stores will usually do the first one free then a small fee for each subsequent test). You could just take advantage of these free water checks but I suggest if you’re really interested in taking the best care of your fish you should get a water test kit and test the water regularly. You can also get test strips! They are not as accurate as the test kits are so shouldn’t be the only thing you are relying on. In my experience, Petsmart uses the test strips and local stores use the kits, the local stores can also give you better advice for what the water test results mean and how to adjust your parameters.

Decorations

Another ‘technically optional’. While you could keep a tank naked save for the bare essentials (filter, heater, tank, hood, and light)... that... isn’t what I would call an ideal set up. Decorations not only are visually appealing to use they are important to your fish as well! Many fish are shy and prefer to have hiding spots, they can grow bored without an environment to navigate. Territorial fish need something to demarcate their territory or they’ll become very stressed and aggressive.

Fish don’t really care about what color the decorations are or if they’re plastic, so don’t feel the pressure to get the really pricey decorations. While live plants have a lot of benefits they require their own focus and parameters and can get really complicated. Just make sure your decorations are fish safe. Never add wood to your tank without boiling and soaking it, fresh wood is never something you should put in your tank, even wood sold specifically for aquariums needs to be soaked to leech the tannins out. Tannins will turn your water brown/amber and make it murky which can work for a brackish aquarium but will likely not be appealing to a freshwater set up. Wood can also change the PH of your water. Like I said, plastic decorations don’t require any extra work other than a quick rinse off before adding them to the tank (never use soaps!), the natural materials take extra effort and thought.

Fish

This is so far down the list because you need to focus so much on everything above long before you get the fish. The most important thing to consider is the fish you want. A lot of fish sold at pets stores can grow to truly monstrous sizes (I have seen juvenile Silver Arowana sold at Petsmart! They grow to 3 feet long, sometimes more!) so you can’t just walk into the store and buy whatever strikes your fancy. The majority of the fish for sale are juveniles and the true sizes of them are rarely accurately listed, (the Silver Arowana sign at Petsmart claimed they only got 12 inches long) if they’re listed at all.

First consider the size of the tank you’re comfortable buying, as stated above getting a small setup (10-20 gallon tank) you’re looking at about 100$, if not more just for the base setup (My 20-gallon setup cost about 200$ because I use live plants and natural materials, it could have been half as much if I had taken it in another direction). Once you’ve picked out a tank size only then can you consider the kinds of fish you can put in it. The smaller the tank, the fewer the fish you can add to it and the smaller the fish must be. So turn your eyes away from the bigger fish unless you’re willing to invest in a tank that will fit them at their adult sizes. It’s about 1 inch of fish per gallon, and any other livestock you add count as well. Shrimp would be about .5 gallon per shrimp (as they have a lower load), snails also could towards the bio-load of the tank which is why getting an infestation can be dangerous for your tank.

Fish Food

Another obvious one but this is more complicated than you think! There is a lot of cheap and poorly made fish food available on the market. I don’t suggest ever buying it from the grocery store unless its an emergency and you plan on replacing it with something better very very soon. Different fish have different requirements, some are strictly carnivores, others omnivores, some herbivores. Feeding them the wrong thing can lead to starvation, malnutrition, constipation and general failure to thrive.

Always read the ingredient list, some foods contain copper sulfate which is a very dangerous chemical to any invertebrates (snails/shrimp). I once lost a beloved rabbit snail because I failed to read the full ingredient list of the algae wafers I got for the tank. It can also be toxic to fish in high doses. I’d suggest just avoiding any foods that list copper sulfate at all to be on the safe side.

Hood/Lid

You can go without a hood or a lid... however, there are very good reasons to make sure you have a good tank cover. Water evaporates and you’ll have to add water between water changes, which is tedious and can mess with the parameters of your water. Higher on the list of importance is the fact that some fish are jumpers. They will leap right out of the water! Betta fish are well known for this, the Silver Arowana I mentioned above is so notorious for this that even very experienced keepers have lost full grown ones to a hard leap, even with a secured lid.

If you have pets (cats especially) you may end up finding them pawing at the water, falling in or just trying to catch the fish. I say: better safe than sorry!

If you’re willing to keep on top of the water levels, have no pets that can get into the tank, a rimless acrylic tank without a lid does look amazing.

Lights

This is another one that can be as complicated or easy as you want it to be. If you have a very well lit area for the tank you could potentially get away without a dedicated light. You could even just have a hanging pendant light that is bright enough to illuminate the tank and that’s fine!

It gets more complicated if you want to do a planted tank, as I said in decorations, live plants require extra work and this is one of those things that will add to their time and cost. Live plants require a specific spectrum to grow properly. Some can survive with basic lights but if you want to really get a planted tank going you need to get full spectrum lights and full spectrum LED lights can be very expensive (for my 20 gallons I was looking at 60+ dollars).

LED lights take less energy to run, which is great in the long run and they last a very long time. Fluorescent bulbs are cheaper and readily available (hardware stores may even have the size you need!) but will need to be changed more often and it’s vital that you don’t let any of the moisture hits them.

And that’s all the things you need to consider when buying an aquarium and setting it up! There are other things you’ll need but aren’t as vital as what’s listed above. A small tank you could just use a soft toothbrush to clean algae off and you could just siphon the water out with a cup for water changes. Bigger tanks though will require gravel vacs and dedicated algae scrubbers (you could use a soft sponge like the ones sold at the grocery store but don’t use the scrubbing side!).

Best Fish Feeding Rules (Fish Feed & Fish Feeding Tips)

What Is Fish Feed And Feeding? Question: “Why and how to feed them?” - when buying fish, almost all beginner aquarists ask sellers. Indeed, their appearance, health and cleanliness in the aquarium depend on how and how you feed the fish . First, a few general rules. 1. Basic Feeding Rules Rule # 01: Better Underfeeding Than OverfeedingRule # 02: Food Must Be VariedRule #03: To Each - His OwnSpecial cases 2. Types Of Fish Feeds Dry Food: Flakes or granules? We look at the structure of the mouth!Natural Feed (live, frozen, gelled)Food from your tableVitamin Supplements

1. Basic Fish Feeding Rules

Rule #01: Better Underfeeding Than Overfeeding The most important: it is better to underfeed the fish than to overfeed !!! Why is this so? It was found that to meet all the needs of adult fish, it is enough to eat 2-3% (maximum 5%) of its weight per day. Eating "a little excess" in nature, fish have the ability to "lose weight" through exercise. In the aquarium, their mobility is limited, it is not necessary to spend energy on saving from predators, searching and extracting food. So, it turns out that overfeeding quickly leads to obesity, metabolic disorders and the work of internal organs. Constantly overeating fish lose their ability to reproduce, are more susceptible to disease. Rotting residues of uneaten food can ruin the water and cause illness or even death of fish.

Mengenal Ikan Platy Pedang

Berbicara perihal ragam ikan hias yang banyak diternakkan orang-orang tentu tak bisa dilepaskan dari keindahan fisiknya. Sebab keindahan fisik ikan hias telah menjadi pesona tersendiri untuk membuat orang terkagum dan ingin membudidayakannya. Keindahan fisiknya dapat dilihat dari ikan hias pun cukup beraneka macam mulai dari bentuk sirip yang unik, warna, ekor, ataupun tubuhnya. Selain itu, terdapat satu tipe ikan hias yang mempunyai keindahan tidak hanya dari corak warna tapi juga bentuk ekornya mirip pedang. Adapun nama ikan hias tersebut ialah platy pedang.

Can I Keep Just One Angelfish? Do They Get Lonely?

Loneliness seems terrible for us humans and it has been observed in a wide variety of mammals. But what about fishes – especially angelfish? Do they enjoy solitude or do they get lonely? Can one keep a singular angelfish in a tank?

To answer the question of loneliness, we are yet to explore if fishes ever get lonely or not since loneliness can be a human concept, which might not be relevant for fishes. Getting to the next part of the question, angelfish can be kept singularly in a tank given that you get all their habitat conditions right.

But it sparks off another set of interesting questions. What exactly can be solitude for an angelfish? Let us explore all the other factors of the presented question and understand it more.

Breeding A Singular Angelfish In A Tank

Most of the angelfish that we get from breeders are freshwater angelfish. The other variety of angelfish is tropical ones, which can thrive in saltwater. All the others are a variant from each of the two categories. There are not many differences in their behavior.

The only difference in their behavior comes from where have you procured your fish – is it from the wild or from a breeder? It is speculated that an angelfish in the wild might be less or not at all prone to said ‘loneliness’ than an angelfish in captivity.

Although angelfishes are said to be a community fish, they can very much thrive on their own. A lot of their behavior also depends on how they started off their journey in the tank.

Were they alone in the tank at first and has always been alone? Then they can thrive in a healthy way. If not, they can behave a little differently when left alone by various circumstances that we will explore further.

Companionship And Isolation After One’s Death

The idea of loneliness can be further aggravated with a loss of companionship. If an angelfish can thrive in solitude, without prior companionship, then what would isolation do to it after they have a companion and it dies?

Although these two situations will keep them alone or in isolation, the process itself defines the idea of loneliness for them.

When bred in pairs and in captivity, they might start searching for their partner or might search for another mate in case a tank has a group of angelfishes. You can observe this same behavior in angelfishes in the wild.

But there is a third situation as well – what if an angelfish is kept in total isolation after having some experience of companionship.

For example, what if they are transferred to another tank away from other fishes? It is observed that the isolated angelfish might start behaving differently than the angelfish that already was in solitude from the beginning.

However, if you are in a situation where your angelfish had a companion and it has died, you should be careful while getting them a new partner. Angelfish are not desperate for companionship even though they are labeled as a community fish.

If they like their new mate, then it is a happy story. Else, it can be another season of the bachelorette or bachelor – angelfish version.

Loneliness With Respect To Not Having Their Own Kind In The Tank

There can be another aspect of loneliness – not having your own kind to interact with. Since angelfishes can thrive with a selected number of other kinds of fishes, it gets a little easier to keep them together.

They might have ‘friends’ but not any ‘mate’. Does it make any difference? Does it make them feel lonely?

Now, here is the game-changing thought – adaptability. It is almost impossible to understand if fishes have certain emotions or not. Pitting this idea against different situations would need wide research on fishes, which is not currently available.

But there is one idea that can actually give us some hints – adaptability.

Angelfishes, be it in solitude in the wild or in captivity, will try to learn how to adapt in their new territory or changed situations.

Even when they have had the experience of companionship in the past and are suddenly kept in a situation where they have to be isolated, they will try to adapt.

Stress – Loneliness In Disguise For Angelfishes

Here is one thing about adaptability, it doesn’t happen overnight and comes with some amount of stress. Whenever there is a change in environment or situation, adaptability will come with some amount of stress, as one doesn’t want to leave their comfort zone.

This is the same thing that happens with angelfish kept in isolation after having prior experience of companionship.

So what you might be looking at can be the signs of stress more than the signs of loneliness. The thing you should focus on is to make their environment stress-free by taking into consideration their water filtration, temperature, toys, and other decoration you put up in tank.

They are not schooling fish that need companionship to thrive. But if you think that they will enjoy some company of other fishes, be it their kind or another, add them and observe.

Best Tank Mates For Angelfish

Angelfish looks graceful and pretty in a tank. They are a little high maintenance as well. But they are also very aggressive, territorial, and have a carnivorous diet.

This means that they can quite happily create a gore scene if you introduce smaller, harmless fishes to the tank. Also, their mating rituals are aggressive as well. They are named angelfish based on their appearance, not their nature.

Hence, it is important for you to introduce and breed fishes that will be able to tolerate their bossy and aggressive behavior. You wouldn’t want dead fishes floating on the top of your tank due to their aquatic fights.

Here is a recommended list of mates.

Tetras – Black skirt, blind cave, serape, silvertip, and bleeding hearts are the best variants of tetras that are compatible with angelfish. While cardinal and neon are also compatible with angelfish, they can be easily eaten by them so avoid adding them to the tank.

Loaches – Kuhli loaches and other loaches with elephant nose or snake loaches are compatible with angelfish.

Danios, Rasboras, and Silver Dollar fish – All the three are schooling fish and would swim alongside angelfish in harmony. Their temper is not aggressive, but there are always exceptions in every case. Keep in mind that the variant you choose shouldn’t be smaller than the angelfish you have.

Catfish – Corydoras, Synodontis and Plecostomus are quite compatible with angelfish.

Although Gourami is also often recommended in a list like this, many pet parents have pointed out that their compatibility doesn’t work out very well. They both are territorial and can get really aggressive.

In other cases, angelfish might be able to swim peacefully alongside a different breed but may eat off their fry. This can be true for fishes such as mollies, swordtails and platys.

Freshwater angelfishes are cichlids and can thrive with other hybrids of cichlids such as blood parrotfish. You can also add discus to the tank but they are more prone to diseases and need more care.

The last piece of advice we will give you is that every fish has a personality and has its own equation with other fellow tank mates. Keep a watchful eye during their interactions and observe if they all are living in harmony.

This list is not a definitive list for compatibility and there can always be exceptions to the case.

Top 10 Highest Rated Fish Food Reviewed & Compared 2020 | Pet Food

If you want your fish food to enjoy living in the aquarium and thrive then you need to give them the best fish food you can afford. This is basic biology (and common sense), and it’s perhaps one of the first things people learn about keeping any sort of pet (except if you have a pet rock, but then that’s a different thing entirely!). If you’re a newbie, you better stick to freshwater fish first because they’re easier to handle, before you start with saltwater tanks. So you can start with old-time favorites like a betta, goldfish, or guppies. You get Cichlids like tilapia or Oscars. Neon tetras, catfish, and mollies are cool too. Whatever you get, you better know what kind of fish food brand to buy. You can’t just buy the cheapest fish food pellets when your fish specifically needs tropical fish food. 1. TetraMin Tropical Flakes Fish Food It comes in several sizes, so you can take your pick. As the name says, this is best for tropical freshwater fish. The TetraMin also contains the patented ProCare blend: Omega-3 fatty acid so that your fish gets healthy fat and they can grow bigger and have more energy, various ingredients that boost their immune system, and biotin to improve their metabolism.

TetraMin

Pros This German brand is a respected name in the industry.​If you buy online, the price is much better.​The food doesn’t cloud the water.It’s easily digested.It’s good for lots of tropical freshwater fish like goldfish. Cons There’s nothing really wrong with it, although a few contend that the quality of Tetra fish food was much better 20 years ago. 2. New Life Spectrum Naturox Thera-A Medium Sinking Pellet Fish Food You’re better off buying the 500 gram container, the 250 gram container is too expensive. There are also other pellet sizes aside from 2mm. New Life Spectrum (NLS) is also highly regarded in the industry, and their products contain garlic with lots of anti-parasitic ingredients.

Naturox Thera-A

Many fish owners admit to only using this product (along with frozen food) to feed their fish. Pros The price for the 500-gram container is a bargain.It’s loved by many types of fish, including lyretail and fancy guppies, bala sharks, African cichlids, featherfin and angelicus catfish, emerald and panda coris, weather and clown loaches, and several types of gourami. Even the ghost shrimp and the fiddler crabs can’t get enough of it.It comes with a clearly marked 2 year expiration date. Cons There are only two size options. 3. Hikari Fancy Guppy Livebearers Fish Food These come in different colors denoting different ingredients. Red means it contains protein and amino acids, yellow means vitamins and minerals, and green is vegetable fiber. It’s supposed to be semi-floating, for surface and mid-water feeders.

Hikari Fancy Guppy

This is designed for small-mouth tropical fish like tetras and barbs. Owners of cardinals, fancy guppies, and shrimp say their pets love them too. Pros Different nutrients are offered so that the fish gets a balanced diet.Quite a few fish love it. Cons It’s not quite as semi-floating as it ought to be. It may float on the surface for a while, but it won’t sink slowly for the mid-water feeders to enjoy. Instead, it gets to the bottom rather quickly. 4. Tetra PlecoWafers Complete Diet for Algae Eaters Fish Food This is a sinking wafer for tropical bottom feeders, and they contain vegetable nutrients as well as the ProCare blend. The pouch bag can stand up, and is resealable too. These are meant for herbivore fishes, such as goldfish, plecostomus, and corydoras catfish.

Tetra PlecoWafers

Pros The online price is much cheaper than in stores.Tetra is a famous brand name with a sterling reputation.Lots of herbivore fish really go for this stuff. Cons For a few fish, it may take a while before they deign to taste it if you’re introducing a new brand.One customer said that it clouded her fish tank water, although this seems like a very rare occurrence. 5. Zoo Med Spirulina 20 Fish Food This is fish flake food for everyday feeding, and it contains high levels of raw protein from spirulina. It’s meant for fresh and saltwater fish that needs regular protein. It also has lots of major vitamins and amino acids. This is designed for lots of fish types, both fresh and saltwater.

Zoo Med Spirulina

It’s great for African Cichlids, goldfish, Swordtails, Platies, Guppies, Mollies, Saltwater Angels and Tangs. For some reason the 2-ounce container costs almost the same as the 4-ounce! Pros The vast majority of owners who’ve tried it report that their fish loved it.The price is more than reasonable, especially when you consider that it lasts for quite a long while. Cons The flakes are large, and while that may be fine for some fish it may be too big for others. 6. Omega One Sinking Veggie Rounds Freshwater & Saltwater Fish Food  An 8.1-ounce container is rather odd, and it doesn’t make much sense when it’s in grams (230g) either. In any case, have a look at the price. As these are veggie fish food, these are for herbivores but they can be for salt and freshwater fish. They’re made with spirulina (which seems a popular ingredient) and fresh kelp.

Omega One

The manufacturer, Omega One, is actually one of just two companies in Alaska licensed to harvest fresh kelp along the southeast Alaskan shoreline. So they have stores of fresh kelp in stock, which explains why this food seem to have a deeper green color than another veggie (or kelp) products. This food is simply packed with nutrients, and Omega One has no reason to skimp on the ingredients. Pros Those who have reported that their fish loved it include owners of African cichlids, pleco, catfish, clown loaches, shrimp, and snails.They also report having healthy fish, too. Cons Just be careful where you buy them, because some sellers may offer bad samples. 7. Tetra Cichlid Flakes Cichlid Fish Food Once again we’re back to the reliable Tetra brand, and this time the food is for top and mid-water feeders. The 1.75-pound container (roughly 794 grams) is cheap, although you can first try the smallest 1.58-ounce (almost 45-gram) size to see if your fish takes the food.

Tetra Cichlid

This particular cichlids dish it’s enhanced with vitamin C and the ProCare blend. Its nutrients help boost the immune system of the fish so they’re more resistant to disease. Also, these flakes remain firm even when fish strike at them. They won’t disintegrate. Pros The price is more reasonable when you get the large 1.75-pound size. That’s because at that price it’s just a couple ¢ per gram, unlike the smallest size that costs much more.These flakes are large, and they’ll stay intact even when fish strike at them. Cons However, if you do get the large container, that’s going to take forever to finish off! 8. Tetra Cichlid Floating Cichlid Pellet Fish Food This is freeze-dried blood worms, which makes this the equivalent of prime 5-star rated restaurant steak while its competitors are fast food. This Bio-Pure is as close to being fresh food without actually being fresh food. So it really is a special treat.

Tetra Cichlid

Pros It is packed with nutrients.​It’s the cleanest freeze dried food you can buy, prepared with pharmaceutical-grade freeze-drying techniques.It doesn’t cloud the water.The container comes with a nice dispenser top. Cons It’s really expensive, so it’s not exactly realistic to serve this on a daily basis.Freeze-dried food is dry, so they take the time to sink. If you want your bottom feeders to get a taste after the top feeders have had their share, you need to use tongs to bring it to them. You’ll also need to soak them first for a while in the aquarium water so that they’re easier to swallow. 9. Tetra JumboKrill Freeze-Dried Shrimp Freshwater & Saltwater Fish Food Tetra has its own freeze-dried offering, but this time it is jumbo shrimp. They’re ideal for large tropical fish and even hermit crabs and snowflake eels love it. It has the nutrients your fish needs to be healthy and to look healthy.

Tetra JumboKrill

Their colors can really improve with this food, as its ingredients include protein, fat, vitamin E, and carotenoids. The food can stay fresh for a long time, as it comes in vacuum-sealed containers. So go ahead and get the biggest size at 14 ounces, which comes with a cheap price tag. Pros For freeze-dried food, the price is remarkably affordable on a per gram basis.It can really brighten the color of the fish. 10. Tetra PRO PlecoWafers Complete Diet for Algae Eaters Fish Food The price per gram is astronomical. But it really is packed with proteins, essential fatty acids, and lipids which can really energize your fish and keep them healthy. You can use this to feed your tropical fish twice daily, and you just have to serve a sufficient amount they can eat within 3 minutes.

Tetra PRO PlecoWafers

You’ll have to remove any uneaten food as quickly as possible so that the water remains clear and fresh. Pros It’s extremely healthy for both fresh and saltwater fish.It’s a favorite food among many fish. Cons It’s quite expensive.A surprising number of aquarium keepers say that their fish ignore it.

So what kind of fish food can you get? Actually, there are quite a few options. That’s understandable, since there lots of fish species you can keep, and some fish may not thrive with just the same food every time. (It’s probably like eating the world’s most incredible pizza—after a week of eating just that, even you’d rebel). The first type is dry fish food, and there are several varieties: Flakes: fish flake food is probably the most common option of them all, as pretty much all the common types of aquarium fish will go for it.Crisps: these crisps tend to float for a long period of time. So it’s more likely that the fish will get them before they fall uneaten to the bottom. They also tend to create less waste. These crisps are ideal for small to medium-sized fish.​Granules: these also tend to sink very slowly to the ground, so it’s available to all the fish in the tank. They also come in bite-sized pieces to make them easier to consume.​Tablets: these sink very quickly, so they’re ideal for the bottom-feeders like loaches and catfish.​Wafers: these also sink quickly, but they’re a bit larger.Sticks: larger fish go for this type of food.Pellets: these float and you can get tiny ones for your bettas. There are also larger pellets for larger fish.Supplements and treats: these complement the main diet of the fish. Some types of fish food are designed as blocks, which are meant to be placed inside the aquarium to feed the fish for days on end. The blocks release just small amounts as they dissolve, so the fish can be fed for several days while the owner is on vacation. Some fish food types are frozen or freeze dried which may be necessary to preserve the protein and other nutrients. Then there are medicated fish food servings that deliver medication to the fish, without contaminating the water and environment like a bath treatment would do. And of course, you can also serve your fish earthworms from your garden or any live food.

Drawbacks to Buying Online

Many newbies don’t like buying fish food online because they have to wait for the delivery and sometimes shipping comes with a fee as well. And you can’t get live food online. It can also be confusing to be confronted with so many options and so many reviews. Some beginners just consult their local pet store and get food recommendations from the seller. That makes everything faster and less confusing

Advantages of Buying Online

But there are advantages to buying online too. One main advantage is that online you can just about find any type of fish food except for live food. You’re not limited to what your local seller has in stock. You can buy any type of food including freeze-dried fish food or flakes, and it can be any size available. And what’s more, you’re also not limited to a single person’s recommendations. When you’re online, reviews are pretty much easily available on seller sites like Amazon. You’ll know what other owners have gone through so you know what to expect. You’ll know how many owners report that their fish liked it, and you’ll also find out just how often it’s been ignored by the fish. In some cases, you can get discounts when you buy online when you buy in bulk. So that means you won’t have to pay as much.

Your best bet, if you’re looking online, is to read reviews so that you can get the comments of other customers who have the same fish as you do. It’s also a good idea to pick the food designed specifically for your fish. So if a fish food is branded as ideal for goldfish, then as a goldfish owner you can have it as one of your options.

Can Guppies Breed With Other Fish?

Guppies are truly fascinating with all their colors and patterns. This is one of the reasons why breeders love to breed this fish since not only do they produce such beautiful fry, but they are also easy to breed.

What if you want to take your breeding game to the next level and breed guppies with other fishes?

Guppies can breed with other fish. However, this is highly discouraged as the behavior of hybrid fishes are unpredictable. Also, the fry may be weak and can die as this does not naturally happen in the wild. On the other hand, there are some fishes that were proven to be compatible with guppies.

If you are considering breeding your guppies with your other fish, then this is the article for you! On the other hand, if you are worried that your guppies might get accidentally pregnant with other fishes in the tank, then keep on reading to see what can happen.

Can Guppies Breed With Other Fish?

Technically speaking, yes, guppies can breed with other fish. But this does not happen intentionally. Male guppies will always be inclined to think that they should only breed with female guppies. The same goes for the females.

This is also primarily the reason why guppies are so successful in terms of breeding. Their DNA dictates a certain blood strain in terms of choosing breeding partners. This may not guarantee against inbreeding, but it surely helps against interbreeding.

So, what happens when you notice that your female guppy’s fry is inherently from another fish, for example, a betta? These can be some of the reasons:

There is a mismatch in your community aquarium. There might be fewer females than males. This also applies to other fishes. If the betta does not have a pair, then most likely he will go after the female guppy.

The female guppy has neurological issues or a birth defect that led her to think that she bred with a guppy.

Conditions in the tank are somehow set to “extreme breeding mode” that even the other fishes wish to breed with a different fish.

As you might have noticed, the reasons that we stated are extreme conditions. This goes to show that if you do not force your guppies to breed with other fishes, then they will not do so.

Guppy Logic When It Comes To Breeding

Let us go into the minds of your guppies for a little while to further widen our discussion. Even though guppies breed like crazy, they are still motivated by their blood strains. This is the reason why guppies tend to breed with their own “breed.”

For example, the Poecilia reticulata which is the common guppy will choose not to breed with a Poecilia wingei which is an Endler guppy. The reason behind this is that they want to keep a pure-blood strain.

This thinking does not mean that some guppies think that they are elites, but frankly, it is for the survival of their breed. Breeding with their own kind will result in healthier and stronger fry.

On the other hand, scientists have observed that every once in a while, guppies will breed with another breed of guppies as a process of blood infusion. This process is done as some kind of a test to see how good their blood strain is.

As you can see, even guppies are adamant with breeding with other guppy breeds, more so breeding with other fishes. Thus, further reiterating that it is only with deliberate manipulation can these fishes interbreed.

Effects Of Guppy Interbreeding

As we have mentioned earlier, guppy interbreeding is not really considered a taboo. However, it is highly discouraged in order to preserve the quality of the guppies that you have. Here are some of the effects of guppy interbreeding.

Inferior Fry

There are a lot of breeders who claim that when they tried breeding their guppy with other small fishes, the fry is usually weak. This is even the case when they used breeder boxes or separated the fry.

The weak babies were also reported to refuse food. Therefore, they cannot sustain themselves in order to survive. There are also some breeders who shared that the fry will even fight among themselves.

This is bad for the littlest baby as surely he or she will lose the fight. In the event that they do survive, it will just be for a while. For some unknown reason, they just end up dead even though they are in a separate tank.

Bullying

In the event that the hybrid babies survive, they will surely be bullied in your community tank. There is a slight chance that this will not happen, but researchers are veering towards the negative.

The reason behind this is that neither fishes in the tank consider them as their own. It is as if there is a new type of fish that has been added to the tank. Therefore, the other fishes will be wary against the hybrids or even aggressive towards them.

Stress

Stress can be felt by all parties which are the guppies, the other fishes living in the community tank, and the hybrid babies. The long term residents of the tank may feel different towards the hybrids and they will feel that they will need to compete for more food and space.

The same goes for the hybrid babies, as they feel unwelcome, it will be harder for them to eat peacefully and even forage. Even when they try to hide, other fishes will still be aggressive towards them.

Therefore, if you plan on breeding hybrids, then they should be housed in a separate tank. In this way, all of your fishes will not be stressed.

Incapacity To Breed

This is only applied if you are still planning to house the hybrid babies in the community tank. Even though they share half of the blood of the fishes that are present in the tank, the males and females will still refuse to breed with them.

Further, even the hybrids may or may not refuse to breed with their own. The reason behind this is still unsure, however, researchers theorize that this is due to the inconsistent blood strain.

The other hybrids also detect this, so they are unsure as to whether it is okay to breed with another hybrid.

Fishes That Can Breed With Guppies

Mollies (have shown a lot of breeding success)

Endlers (a bit hard as they can be smaller than guppies)

Platies (has a history of breeding failures)

Swordtails (not a lot of success in producing healthy fry)

Bettas (extremely rare to interbreed, except for extreme tank conditions)
