Tropical Fish Danios

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

Well I don’t talk about these tropical fish enough even though I own 5 Turgoius Danios for almost a year with my swordtails. These little fish are actually pretty as well as harty little fish. They even seem to stop conflicts in the tanks. Maybe the UN should hire them (JOKE). I have notice they seem to be able to actually survive in a wider range of PH then even my swordtails, 2 died over the week. I found out my PH was low.

Zebra Danio Tropical Fish
A popular verity of Danio’s that most Pet stores have is the Zebra Danio which looks very nice with the DarkBlue and Grey Stripes so for another easy fish I would suggest to get Danios.

Bettas and Gouramis

Betta FishHello all well I found out something really interesting the other day and I thought I would share it. Betta (Siamese Fighting Fish) and Gourami are both are breathers which are know in the tropical fish anabantoid
. They could go up to the surface and breath from the air as we would. Of course they don’t need to like us but this gives them a huge survivor rate if the water conditions get really bad. They could do this since they have some thing simular to our lungs known as a abryinth organ. These to fish can get along as well if you but the Gouramis in first. Of course you should never put in 2 male bettas. Of course knowing this is comfortable to know but you

Kissing Gouramis

still should do basic fish tank care. What is also great about these two breeds of tropical fish is that they have many colors and you could miss

match and make a very pretty tank. One combination that looks great is Kissing Gourami and a blue or red betta does not matter if it is a delta tail as pictured or Betta Halfmoon Male or even a Betta Crown Tail Male

Betta Fish, Why I like these Fish

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Well my there is no secret that one of my favorite tropical fish is the Betta.  I have alway have had one most of my adult life.  I have bought all the ebooks, have a hard cover book on Betta fish.  Halfmoon Betta - Siamese Fighting fishWell I like them because they are easy to take care of.  They are very pretty regardless if delta tail, crown tail or even halfmoon bettas.

Also I believe that they each seem to have a personality different then one another.  Also I think out of all the tropical fish they are the best survivors.  If any other tropical fish where put into little bowls they would die in not able to be sold that is for sure.  So I actually respect there ability to survive in very harsh conditions.  Just like us city folks.

Hey I would recommend anybody to get a betta it was even in an article I wrote what to get an 8 year old. :)

Easy Tropical Fish you could even get for a Five Year Old.

Well A great way to teach your kid responsibility is to get a pet, like a hermit crab, a gerbil or a hamster, and of course tropical fish. Well a few types of tropical fish at least.

Well the easiest is also one of the most prettiest and that is the Betta or Siamese Fighting fish. Even though they come in those little bowls, do not keep them in there get a small gallon or two gallon tank.
Also only buy one. There are complete aquarium one or two gallon tanks which look great.

Another easy fish is of course the traditional gold fish since they could live in colder water and are pretty hearty fish. They to could live in a one or two gallon tank but the max you should get is three fish. Really should only have gold fish together with other goldfish since other tropical fish need warmer water.

Two round up the list of easy fish to get your kid would be Zebra Danios, Neon Tetras. If you get a bigger tank like a ten gallon you could get them Swordtails, Platy, Guppies(Might do not recommend to mix with other fish at first) Also buy a snail for the ten gallon or up to help clean the tank.

Even though gerbils and hamsters are nice they are a lot messier.

Of course if you are a parent you should learn about tropical fish as well and there are many good sources on the internet. A really good source of information on tropical fish tank set up and maintenance of the tank is Katys Tropical Fish - A Complete Guide.
