Usually freshwater fish are considered the pets for people that are either lazy or don't really want to take care of something They may like the idea of a pet but perhaps one that you don't have to interact with as often as others, underestimating the responsibility of freshwater fish care. Well, fish can be the pet for you but it is imperative that you understand that fish do require a little bit of maintenance, although not as much as a cat or dog.
Research is always a great idea when considering a pet--especially fish, as there are SO many types of freshwater fish to choose from. If you're wanting more than one fish in a tank, be sure to find out whether they are aggressive or not, as some fish will literally kill others in the same tank. It is also wise to understand the environmental needs of your fish, such as tank size, whether it requires freshwater or saltwater, and how often the tank should be cleaned (some fish actually eat the "gunky" build-up on tank walls).
Make sure that you understand the feeding requirements of your fish before you bring them home. Some fish require certain types of food, as well as a particular feeding routine. You should be especially careful about not over-feeding or under-feeding your fish, as well. If you are unsure about how much food you should give them, don't hesitate in calling the store or person you bought the fish from--they will likely be happy to assist you.
Cleaning the fish tank is a very important aspect of fish maintenance, yet one that doesn't have to be done everyday. The general tip is that one third of the water in the tank should be changed out monthly to ensure that the fish have a clean, healthy environment. Remember--fish breathe through the water in the tank, and if it's too dirty, they won't be able to breath very well.
If you remember to follow these steps and act accordingly when purchasing a freshwater aquarium fish, then you will be fine. Your fish should live a healthy life and last as long as they are supposed to.
