A freshwater aquarium is worthwhile and entertaining. The best part of insuring that your freshwater aquarium fishes are healthy is they give back a better and fresher ambience to your home. The different colors and varieties of fishes create a livelier and refreshing environment which can help soothe your anxieties. First thing to consider when choosing a freshwater aquarium fish is to determine which specie can get along well with other species. FYI: Not all varieties of fish can harmoniously live with others. And having these non-compatible species live together is not a good idea. Another factor that you need to consider when choosing pet fishes is the size. The reason why size matters is that if some of the fishes inside your tank are bigger than others, then the bigger ones might end up preying on the smaller ones. If this is the scenario of your tank, soon enough you will no longer see the same tank that you once filled with various beautiful and colorful aquarium freshwater fish species. The most sought out aquarium freshwater fishes are goldfish, catfish, rainbow fish, cichlids, puffer fish, and gars. Your goal when choosing fishes would be to keep the community of your tank friendly and calm. Therefore knowing which species could live pleasantly well together is very important. If you want your tank to be more dynamic by having different species that vary in colors and forms, then choose a bigger tank. This will allow the fishes to move freely inside the tank. Fishes have their own place where they are most comfortable at. Top feeders are fishes who like to live close to the surface of the water. Middle feeders are fishes who want to swim around at the center, and the bottom dwellers are the ones who want to stay around the bottom of the tank and eat the food that drops there. Among these types of fishes, the bottom dwellers are the most helpful to the fish community. They eat the food that touches the bottom of the tank and prevents these substances from ruining and spoiling the tank that can possibly cause numerous diseases. They also help prevent algae from increasing. Some of the fishes who can get along very well with others are the following: plecostomus, swordtails, gouramis, guppies, danios, cory cats, gold fishes, and corydoras catfish who are excellent bottom dwellers. Whichever aquarium freshwater fish you have decided to keep, the most important thing to remember is to be patient and responsible to your pet fishes.
