An aquarium is a good way to liven up your interior. Large aquariums with exotic fish decorate reception areas and offices.
Observing the leisurely life of the inhabitants of the underwater world allows you to escape from worries and regain strength for work.
A quarter of an hour in front of the aquarium will relieve tension and an attack of blues.
What are fish afraid of in an aquarium
The fish is afraid of shaking and shadows.
Nevertheless, here’s what it’s not recommended to do near a body of water: stomping, jumping, chopping wood on the shore, generally shaking the soil - the fish are really afraid of this.
Naturally, you can just walk as much as your heart desires.
How many times should you feed fish in an aquarium
As for the frequency of feeding, experienced aquarists believe that 1 – 2 feedings per day are enough.
A prerequisite: if the food has not been completely eaten, then its remains must be removed using a net so that they do not become a source of contamination of the aquarium.
Remains of food should also be removed from the feeder.
How often: adult fish - 2 times a day, fry up to 1 month - every 3-6 hours, 1-2 months - 4 times a day.
When: in the morning an hour after turning on the lights, in the evening 2 hours before turning off.
How much: as much as they eat in 5-10 minutes.
How to clean the inside of an aquarium
It is better to wash a new aquarium with baking soda or rinse it with hot water in the bathroom.
Other products, even chemical ones, are also suitable, but it will be more difficult to wash them off without leaving a residue, and this will have to be done.
At the same time, the soil in the form of sand and gravel and decorative elements are washed with hot water, boiling water or soapy water.
How often should fish aquariums be cleaned
Small aquariums need to be cleaned once a week.
If they are designed for 200 liters, then major cleaning is carried out once every ten days.
Regardless of the timing, there are general rules that help to carry out proper cleaning.
