easy fish to care for children?
my children have recently asked if they can get a fish. I'm fine with that, provided that the act away lol. I'm not sure what you just kind of fish are easier to care in a fish tank. any advice would be great, thanks ** provided that CAT stays away lol
The Betta is an attractive and easy to care for the choice of the fish first. This is what you need to know for your Betta to live a long and happy life: 1. A 5-gallon cycle (http://www.firsttankguide.net/cycle.php and http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aquarium/cycling.php) tank is minimal for Betta health. The tanks and smaller vessels do not maintain a constant temperature, and it is almost impossible to keep water sanitation. 2. A filter is necessary in tanks in order to keep the water sparkling and free of toxins. For Bettas, it is better to set the low flow filter, and that swimmers are not very strong. Another good option is a sponge filter, 3. A heater is essential. Bettas need warm steady temperatures around 80F, to prosper. The constant fluctuation leads to stress, which inevitably leads to disease and often death. You can find a cheap heater for a small tank at any fish store. 4. In a 5 gallon tank, 25% weekly water changes with a gravel siphon needed. Water conditioner should be added to water before it is put in the tank to remove toxic chlorine, chloramine, metals, etc. 5. Bettas enjoy a well planted aquarium (direct use or silk plants, the plastic can tear their fins), with a cave or two to explore and unwind. Bettas have been known to live for 10 years. I have known personally to live in 6. Edit: I found that cats generally ignore the fish. I have several tanks in my house including one cat in my room host, I've had many cats around them. Only one so far has paid no attention, and he just sits at his side and watch the fish swim.
