			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As well as any other hobby, aquariums require a great deal of attention and care. There are so many peculiarities and care requirements, typical of this or that breed of fish and that must be observed in order to have healthy fish. Most people start up aquariums, because they think that it is going to be the most suitable variant for occupied people, who have no time to care for cats and dogs. It is the greatest delusion that can be imagined. You have to pay much more attention to your fish tank than you think. Moreover, there will be some unplanned investments into your fish tank, like additional filters, lighting equipment, new species, etc. The greatest difference between the maintenance of aquariums lies in their types. There are two general types of aquariums – freshwater and saltwater aquariums. As you understand, there are a lot of factors to consider, when choosing the type of aquariums. Freshwater aquariums are very popular nowadays and this popularity is mostly predetermined by the simplicity in maintenance. When it comes to saltwater aquariums, we have to admit that they are much more difficult to be kept, because of specific conditions preferred by exotic species.  The first and the most important thing about the both types of aquariums is the acid-base level, also known as PH level of water. Fish are extremely sensitive to PH changes of water and can experience shock or even die because of these changes.  Irrespectively of what type of aquarium you choose, you have to buy the PH measuring device in the first place. Water hardness is one more factor that must be considered in definite cases. The thing is, there are several breeds of fish, which are intolerant of certain hardness rates. Anyway, there are ways to help you with the maintenance of the water on one and the same PH and hardness level. There are special PH buffers available in most of pet shops, so if you see that there are considerable changes of PH level, you can buy a buffer and normalize the situation.<br />
The third important factor that can influence the health of your species is the temperature of water. It is necessary that you examine some literature of an aquarist and get the information on temperature preferences of fish. Different breeds like different temperatures and if you don’t maintain the temperature average for all your species, or choose the fish that are not compatible, the problem will arise and you can lose the most beautiful species because of your carelessness.  So, think twice before choosing the right type of aquarium for you, and if you are a business person and go on business trips often,  you’d better choose a freshwater aquarium for your home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have friends, who are lucky owners of saltwater aquariums, you must know what a delight it is to watch exotic colored species warping around a large fish tank with a clear water, exotic plants and beautiful background. It is not only a sight, which charms you, but it also soothes your nerves greatly. Therapeutic effect of aquariums has been known since the ancient times and saltwater exotic aquariums are not an exception.  If you are also going to start your own saltwater aquarium, the first thing you have to think of is the right choice of species for your fish tank. There are no doubts that it is great to go to  the local pet shop with your entire family and choose the breeds you all like, but there can be a very delicate situation, when your children, for example, want to have incompatible breeds of fish in one and the same fish tank. Unfortunately, there are a lot of beautiful fish, which cannot live together. They can damage or even kill one another. It narrows your fish ‘wish list’ greatly, but still there are a lot of wonderful species available for you. As the PH and hardness levels of water are going to be either not sufficient or too high for your fish in the beginning, you’d better choose species, which are not that sensitive to these factors. Probably, they will be not as beautiful as other exotic fish, but they are a great choice especially in the beginning. In the course of time, when all water characteristics will be normalized, you can buy and let new fish in your aquarium. The most interesting example of fish you can get for your aquarium is a molly. There is a wide range of colors and you can buy mollies of gold, silver, dalmatin and black colors. These fish have very beautiful fins and scales. The tails are also very long and beautiful, so that you cannot tear yourself from your aquarium – so beautiful it will be. You can buy mollies irrespectively of their gender, but you can buy up to two female fish for one male fish, which is a distinguishing characteristic of this breed. One of the most interesting facts about mollies is that they are great gluttons. It means that there will be great quantity of recrements and food particles in your fish tank, which are to be timely removed to preserve the water clean and clear. You may need a good filter to do this, which can appear to be quite expensive, but still you cannot do without it. However, this small and unplanned investment is worth it and you will enjoy the most beautiful aquarium ever!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most widespread delusion people have when they think of getting their own aquarium is that it is going to be as easy as two and two make four. There are also some people, who are ready to take responsibility and know that keeping an aquarium is not as easy as it may seem from the very beginning. However, both groups of people are mistaken. Keeping an aquarium is much more difficult than you can even imagine. Yes, it is easy to buy a fish tank and let the fish into it, but what’s then? Do you know how difficult it is to do everything properly when it comes to your fish tank? If your answer is ‘no’, we are going to give you a lesson on how to maintain your aquarium. There is a CPP rule, generally accepted in the community of aquarist. CPP is deciphered as cleanness, perseverance and patience. As long as you follow the rule, you have no troubles.  The tips we are about to give you, will obviously help you to have a clean and healthy aquarium without any possible threat for your fish.<br />
So what should you do first when starting up your own small underwater world? You have to answer the question – why are you going to buy an aquarium.  Do your children want to have a pet to care for and you don’t have time to keep a dog or a cat? Or you friend has such a beautiful aquarium that it makes you mesmerize every time you see it?  You decorate your living room and want to make it look more sophisticated and cozier? Well, whatever reason you have, you need to find an appropriate place for your fish tank. Any solid surface like a table or standing bookcase will suit you. If your fish tank is large, you’d better buy a separate base for it. There are various designs and colors, so you will easily find the one that will match your interior best. <br />
As soon as you install your aquarium, go to the local pet shop and buy the gravel you like. You have to wash the gravel thoroughly and even boil it, if it was picked on the seashore. It should be done in order to kill harmful organisms that can infect your species. After you get the clean and safe gravel, put it on the bottom of your fish tank. Arrange the gravel the way the front part of your fish tank is covered by a thinner layer than the rare one. It will make all particles of dirt gather in the front and be easily removed. Put all decorations and plants inside after a grave and connect all electrical devices like an air pump, filter, lamps, etc. Don’t forget about measuring devices like a thermometer and PH level measuring devices. After all these preparations are done, let the fish in with a clear conscience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are just about to start your own aquarium and cannot decide on which one you want to have, we can give you short information that will probably help you. The first thing you have to know is that all aquariums can be divided into two major types – saltwater and freshwater ones. The most popular are freshwater aquariums and this popularity is mainly predetermined by the relative simplicity of maintenance. Saltwater aquariums are much more difficult to keep and if you still want to have one – you are a desperate person. The thing is there are too many requirements you have to observe while dealing with your saltwater aquarium. To begin with, saltwater fish are subjected to a great risk when being transported and sold. As you understand, saltwater fish live in seas and oceans, which are far much larger comparing to lakes and rivers, inhabited by freshwater fish. Hence, it is very stressful for saltwater species to be taken out of their natural habitat and put into a small fish tank. No matter how large is your fish tank – it will still be too small for fish, which are created to be free and live in the huge areas of marine bottom. <br />
There are many important things that must be considered when getting a saltwater aquarium and in most of cases, people tend to be unable to meet the requirement on saltwater aquarium maintenance.  Here are several useful tips on what you should do when going to buy saltwater fish for your aquarium.<br />
The first thing you should avoid is the purchase of a new fish you have never seen in the pet shop before. The thing is, such fish usually needs a week or two to get used to new conditions and habitat. It is a crucial period, because only after these two weeks you will know, whether the fish is capable of living in artificial reservoir or not. If you have already visited the local pet shop several times and one of fish took your fancy, you can dismiss your doubts and buy it.<br />
The second thing you have to consider is the health of the fish you are going to buy. It is perfect if you have some time to watch the fish’s behavior. If you don’t see any troubles after a day or two of such watching, you can buy the fish without fear that it will infect the species in your aquarium.<br />
The last thing you have to do is to examine some literature on the saltwater fish in order to be well-informed about the possible difficulties with your saltwater aquarium. If your fish will get an infection or feel unwell, you will always be able to act appropriately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Setting up the aquarium is a very important step in the life of any person. The thing is, aquariums serve not only as the great nerve soothers, but they also give a beautiful and cozy touch to your house. Whatever room you choose, an aquarium must look wonderful there, especially if we are talking about bed room – the room, where you are far from the outer world, having precious time for your favorite book and hours of the calm and solid sleeping. What can be better than aquarium right in front of your bed? Imagine that you wake up in the morning and the first thing you see is the schools of beautiful fish swimming inside of your fish tank. It will cheer you up right in the beginning of the day, being like a gulp of fresh air in this severe and aggressive world.  Well, if you read this article, it means that you try to make a decision on owning the aquarium. We are just about to help you. The first thing you have to know is what type of aquarium you want to have. On the one hand, small aquariums are handy and they don’t require so much strength to change water in it or to clean decorations and all accessories inside of it. On the other hand, large aquariums seem to be better, at least because you have a greater option of breeds with such fish tank and you can get fish, which tend to live in schools (like incredibly beautiful neon fish). However, large aquariums have a lot of pitfalls, which may seem difficult to you in the course of maintenance. To begin with, large aquariums require much space to place them. Unlike small-sized aquariums, large ones cannot be put on the cupboard or desk. Large aquarium full of water can weigh up to several hundred pounds, which is unbearable burden for some objects of your furniture. It means that you have to go to a store and choose an appropriate stand for your aquarium. Of course, you have nothing to worry about, if you live on the ground floor, because the chance to flood someone is equal to zero, whereas if you are a dweller of the 8th or 9th floor, you cannot worry about his, because reliable stand is a reliable aquarium.  The second great thing about large aquariums is the number of decoration and accessories you can put inside. You can create a real underwater world, maximizing your artificial environment to the natural habitat of your species, not to mentioned background options presented in the market today.  3D background pictures will help to create the three-dimensional effect, which will always please your eyes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pets require a great deal of attention from you and you cannot get a cat, dog or fish and just let them live their own lives. You have to take care of them and do your best to provide good living conditions for your pets. Unlike cats or dogs, fish cannot display their feelings and emotions, they cannot mew or bark and you never know what they really want. You cannot be careless, when it comes to your aquarium, because fish are defenseless and anything can happen to them if you abandon your aquarium for a long period of time. If you think that your responsibilities end when you put some food flakes to your aquarium, you are deeply mistaken. This delusion tends to have very regrettable consequences sometimes. So, what should you do if you have just gotten your first aquarium and don’t know what to do? The first thing you have to remember is that you have to observe your fish every day. However busy you are, you need to pay at least 10 minutes once or better twice a day to your pets. Watch them swimming in the fish tank and note every unusual thing like change in the behavior, bad look of some species, including spots on the scales and fins. If some of species stay in the bottom or float on the surface, it can be a bad sign, especially if they have never done it before.  If the fish swims in unusual way or seems to be disoriented it is time for you to sound the alarm. Any of the mentioned signs can mean that your fish have some infection that can be easily spreaded all over the aquarium. If you want to avoid it, go and consult specialist and examine some books on fish’s diseases.<br />
Suppose, you detect some of the signs we have mentioned above. It is obvious that you have to take immediate measures.  The first thing you have to do is to check all possible objects in your aquarium and to look at measurement devices. It happens that species get different infections or get shocked because of temperature drops or too high or too low PH level of water. It can not only provoke illnesses, but also can cause the death of your species, if you don’t take measures timely. <br />
If you are a beginner in the sphere of aquariums and everything connected with them, you don’t probably know that you shouldn’t let new fish into the community tank right away. It happens that new fish are infected or need time to get used to the new habitat and get ill because of it. Anyway, if you put ‘newbies’ into your fish tank, you can get all your fish infected. So, get a separate tank for new species and fill it with water from your community tank. After new fish get used to new water, you can let them in into the main fish tank, without worries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As exquisite as they are, Betta fish are fairly fragile creatures. There&#8217;s much to know about these fish, and getting the respectable info can be extremely strenuous. In the past couple decades of taking care of a healthful Betta I have come across an abundance of info that I wish I had known when I started. To facilitate you out I have beneath listed some of the most common Betta sicknesses that you&#8217;ll stumble across, along with the inidcators you need to look out for. At the end of this tiny manual you will hit upon further resources for treating a specific infection your Betta might receive, as well as general care info.</p>
<p><b>Nitrite Poisoning:</b> The most widespread predicament in a Betta tank is intimately entwined with the water circumstances. Nitrite poisoning can be brought about by a few various factors, but regularly follows ammonia poisoning. Ammonia, which is often found in high concentration in urine, is usually a outcome of a tank that is not cleaned often enough. Because of the effect that this will have on your water supply your finned friend will speedily be afflicted by a shortage of breathable oxygen. With this specific Betta sickness symptoms to look out for are gaping for air at the surface, red lines surrounding the gills, general discoloration, and sluggishness.</p>
<p><b>Ichthyophthirius Multifilis:</b> This was a Betta sickness that afflicted my own fish. More often acknowledged as the &#8220;Ich&#8221;, this sickness is in reality a parasite. Lucky for you though, this is one of the more simple Betta illnesses to pick out. You should strive to look for white dots on your pet&#8217;s fins or body, indicating the parasite colonies. The same as with a deficiency of oxygen in the tank, you will want to look for discoloration near your fish&#8217;s gills. This disease is dangerous, but very easily curable if caught early.</p>
<p><b>Universal Danger Signs:</b> Sometimes you might not take note of the exact inidcators of any particular sickness, but may pick up on some of the following warning signs. Every one of them is a potential indication that your fish has a disease, and you might want to research further what&#8217;s going on with them.</p>
<p> for&#8230;<br />
Severe lethargy<br />
Tarnished/dulling body<br />
Lines around the gills<br />
Recurrent gasping or erratic trips to the surface<br />
Hyperactivity (in some cases)<br />
fins kept repeatedly clamped to the side of your fish</p>
<p>Should you ever feel your Betta fish might have a sickness you are going to want to seek aid as quickly as possible. As with any human disease you should employ the resources at your disposal to begin curing Betta sicknesses rapidly.</p>
<p>As I have telling my own story, I have reviewed a few wonderful resources on <a href='http://www.how-to-take-care-of-a-betta-fish.info' target='_blank'>take care of a betta fish</a>, only passing on hints and tips that I found useful as a Betta owner.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Owning an aquarium is not that easy as it may seem from the first side. If you think that it is not a big deal and all you have to do is just to buy a fish tank and fill it with water and fish – you are deeply mistaken. Starting up an aquarium, you create a small ecosystem, which needs to be maintained and supported. You cannot just install a fish tank with fish in your room and forget about it. There are many more things to be done. You are probably feeling frustrated at the moment, so, let us start from the very beginning and tell you what steps you have to undertake in order to arrange your aquarium the right way.<br />
1.	To begin with, decide on what type of aquarium you want to have. There are two major types – the saltwater and the freshwater aquariums.  Freshwater aquariums are much better for your home, because if you have a saltwater aquarium, you probably have to hire a special person, who would take care of it. You have to have much knowledge about saltwater aquariums. If you don’t have them, you can have real problems with maintenance. So, don’t you experiment with this  and choose the freshwater aquarium. Suppose, you have already chosen a freshwater one.<br />
2.	Choose the right type of fish tank. You have to understand what size is better for your room, so that it looks proportional. Modern manufacturers produce fish tanks of different shapes such square, round, elliptic, rectangular fish tanks, etc. The most popular ones are rectangular. <br />
3.	Choose the proper filter for your aquarium. It would be great if you had a friend, who could advice you the type of filter, but if you don’t, well, examine some literature on this question and consult a pet shop assistant. In general, the expensive filters are better and more durable comparing them to the cheap sponge filters. <br />
4.	Buy all needed measuring devices like thermometer and PH level measurer. You have to know the requirements for the species you have chosen. Be sure that you buy species, requiring similar temperature and PH conditions. <br />
5.	Buy the gravel you like more. It can be artificial colored gravel or natural one. Irrespectively of the time, you have to boil the gravel thoroughly not to infect the water and species in it. <br />
6.	Get lighting equipment. It is considered to be one of the most important issues, because the lighting is to provide the habitat for you fish as much similar to their natural one as possible. <br />
7.	Get the species you like in the nearest pet shop and let them into the assembled fish tank, filled with water.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a lot f challenges that can arise in the course of the freshwater aquarium maintenance.  To begin with, you have to acquire an appropriate filtration system that will clean your aquarium and keep your species healthy and protected from infections and diseases provoked by the dirty aquarium water. However, one of the key moments, concerning your aquarium is the installation of the lighting equipment. Most people tend to treat this process carelessly, thinking that the difference between different lighting systems lies only in the price and the manufacturer of this or that lamp. It is partly true, but there is much more to it than just a price, because different lightings are intended for different fish tank and it is not only about the size or about the shape, it is also about the type of the aquarium you are going to start up (freshwater or saltwater aquarium). You shouldn’t also forget about such characteristics of lamps such as their color and power. Different species prefer different types of lighting, different environment, different PH levels of water and even different temperature. The mere change in these characteristics can lead to diseases and even death of your species.  So, as you understand, if you are not a specialist in the sphere of aquariums, you need to have a good piece of advice on how to treat your fish and handle your aquarium in the whole. <br />
One of the most popular and bought lamps for your freshwater aquariums are fluorescent bulbs.  The first reason for this is that fluorescent lamps are available practically in any possible pet shop in the world. Be sure, that whatever shop you visit, the first lamp that will be offered to you by a shop assistant is the fluorescent lamp. So, why is it so reliable and popular among customers? The most important reason of fluorescent lamp popularity is their low energy consumption that has been already proven many times. It means that the lamp gives a bright light and consumes much less power comparing to other types of lamps.  <br />
The second type of lamps are the metal halide lamps. The bad thing about them is the extremely high price, but as you deal with these lamps, you understand that they are really worth it. The thing is, metal halide lamps imitate the sun light and the effect of such lamp on your aquarium is equal to the effect of the sun on the Earth. As you understand, such lighting is going to be a perfect substitution to a natural sunlight and will help you to create a habitat for your species, which will be similar to their natural one. It will help your fish to feel better as if they were in the real ocean or sea.<br />
Comparing these two types, we can say only that it is up to you to choose, depending on your budget and needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a lot of important information you need to know about aquariums if you are going to start up your own one. To begin with there are about 20 000 of fish available in the world seas, oceans and other water reservoirs. Of course, most of them can live in aquariums, depending on their size and shape. However, you do not need to know about all of them, because only several types of fish can be accommodated by a small fish tank you can arrange at home. This article will give you all needed information on the peculiarities of fish tank maintenance. The most important thing you have to understand is that your fish have no protecting coat like most of the mammals and predators do, so the temperature of water must be considered attentively. If the temperature of water in your aquarium is too high, it can reduce the content of oxygen in water, which is not recommended. The low temperature is also extremely harmful for your fish. So, you have to avoid abrupt temperature drops to protect them from shock and death. Different species of fish prefer different temperatures, so you have to choose the ones, which live in similar conditions. For example, the Gold fish prefer the temperature of about 25 degrees centigrade.  Exotic fish prefer the same temperature and the increase of temperature up to twenty seven degrees centigrade is possible without the considerable harm to fish health.  <br />
The first and the most important thing you have to buy for your aquarium is a thermometer. It is needed to keep the constant temperature level in your fish tank.  If you see that, the temperature is getting higher or lower you can take timely measures to restore the same temperature level. It would be impossible without thermometer. <br />
The second important thing is the PH level of water. It differs for freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The average PH for saltwater aquariums is 6,8 – 7,2 and for freshwater aquariums – 7,8 – 8,3. There are a lot of factors influencing the change of PH level. You have to get a device needed for acidity level measurement.  High acidity level leads to the sudden increase of ammonia level in water. Ammonia is very harmful for you fish and you have to do your best to avoid it. Two more things that must be carefully measured are gravity and oxygen levels, so make sure that you have corresponding measuring devices.  <br />
As well as people, fish cannot live without oxygen. The only difference is that fish breathe with gills, whereas people gill with lungs. Water doesn’t contain the quantity of oxygen sufficient for your fish vital activity, so you have to buy a proper air pump, which is going to supply oxygen to your fish tank.<br />
After all these major preparations are done, you can go and choose species and some additional devices and accessories for your fish tank.</p>
