Aquaria is a pleasant and relatively simple hobby, with it even a child can handle. This hobby gives a lot of positive emotions, but the care about home aquarium requires some knowledge. Where to start, and how to care for such an island of nature in your own home, we will analyze right now.
Aquarium fishes - ideal pets for those who are not ready to devote a lot of time. They do not need to be walked, they do not make noise, do not “mark” the corners, do not gnaw shoes and do not smell, and a well-kept home aquarium becomes a beautiful element of the interior and an ideal tool for relaxation.

The murmur of water soothes and fills the house with a special energy, and experts on feng shui assure that the reservoir itself and its inhabitants are the generators of positive Qi energy. In addition, the aquarium is a source of strength for the water signs of the zodiac. However, practice shows that green glasses, muddy water and fish popping up by the abdomen discourage all enthusiasm from novice aquarists. But do not make hasty conclusions, because everything is not so difficult.
To care about the aquarium at home is quite simple, and the more its displacement, the less often you need to look into it. From time to time, it will be necessary to clean the windows and the ground and periodically replace part of the water. And this is, perhaps, everything. An independent ecosystem gradually forms within an improvised reservoir, which maintains its own balance with almost no outside intervention.

It is harder to care for fishes in a small aquarium - it "blooms" and quickly becomes polluted. Leaving such “living corner” unattended for more than a couple of days is undesirable. For this reason, a container with a volume of 50 liters is more convenient than fashionable two-liter “glasses”; however, before acquiring any aquarium, you should equip yourself with a theory in order to avoid common mistakes.
So how do you take care of an aquarium at home? First, do not overcrowd it, because each fish needs a certain amount of water for a comfortable existence. This parameter must be taken into account when buying "pets", otherwise they will be lethargic, dull and will not live long, and water and soil will require frequent cleaning.

Secondly, prefer live plants, stones and snags. They are beautiful, serve as shelter for fishes and participate in the formation of ecological balance. Thirdly, provide high-quality filtration and aeration of water and care about its quality. The best option is melted water or 3-days water. Another nuance is placement. To make the problem of green glasses to a minimum, the aquarium at home should be located away from the windows.
In addition to the aquarium itself with a lid, filter and aeration system, you will have to get soil, plants, a beautiful picture for the decoration of the back wall and a special lamp. You will also need: a feeder, heater, thermometer and glass scraper. In the future, the maintenance costs will be reduced to the purchase of feed and new filters.

It is not easy for a novice to reach all the details, and therefore it is better to entrust the “launch” of an aquarium to a professional. Those who are not afraid of mistakes, it is worth remembering that the maintenance of fish in home aquariums is simpler, the better their living conditions are chosen. Each type of fish prefers a certain temperature and water hardness, many are picky about lighting and feed, therefore there is no single formula for “proper care”. In addition, not all fish get along with each other. In order not to be mistaken, it is better to settle the representatives of aquatic fauna, which coexist peacefully in natural conditions, in one capacity.
Much has been written about how to care for domestic fish in an aquarium, but the practice should be started with a simple one. Beginners usually buy guppies, but neons, cardinals, parrots are just as beautiful and picky. A pair of an angelfish or a family of discus will become the decoration of a homely reservoir. In the cleaning will help antsistrusy (catfish suckers) and snails ampouleria, who are happy to eat the simple algae.

The choice of aquarium fish is wide, but it is better to study them gradually. Patience, attention to detail and a positive attitude will help to create a paradise in the house that will please the eye for many years and calm the nervous system.
