A tropical fish guide will help you
to avoid the mistakes a lot of new fish owners will make when taking care of
these lovely creatures. Most owners will kill their own pets from kindness and
not neglect. Others would say that not getting an education in the behavior of
their fish tank inhabitants is a form of neglect.
The biggest issue facing you would be figuring out when to feed your fish and how much food to provide them. Some people will feed till the food is gone not after they have stopped feeling hungry. Other species would snack if they feel like it. Getting to know the behavior of the fish you have may help you and prevent overfeeding. It's often better to slightly starve your own fish than to offer them too much to eat.
A tropical fish guide is useful in supplying you with the concept but you must put it into practice. Approach the situation using common sense. Observe your fish when they're eating to see that all are getting their fair portion. In case you see one or two fish are not eating, keep watch over them to see if that was a one off situation or an ongoing trend.
Being off their food can be a sign that they're sick but might also suggest they don't like the taste so you can try something else. Always feed at the same area of the tank so the fish know where they can expect their food to be found.
In case you are at home all day you may feed your fish little and often. If you go out to work you will need to feed them larger quantities when you're home. Your tropical fish guide gives you particular data on each species. But your gut instinct must also be relied on to advice you when something is wrong.
