Things to Keep in Mind When Buying Your First Fish Tank
There are many things to consider before you purchase your first fish tank. Gerber’s Tropical Fish, located in Dayton, OH, sells a variety of fish, as well as fish tanks, plants, coral, supplies, and more! With over 15,000 gallons of fresh and saltwater tanks, and an ever-changing inventory, they know a thing or two about how to make your first aquarium successful.
These tips will help your first aquarium be a success:
- Limit Your Fish Selection To One Or Two Species: Different species have different needs. Be sure to do your research on which fish species are compatible together, or ask the helpful staff at Gerber’s Tropical Fish for their recommendations. This will prevent compatibility issues between species.
- Choose Common Fish At First: The more common and inexpensive fish species are generally less challenging to care for than rarer, expensive fish. You can move on to the more challenging fish once you have some experience caring for hardier fish.
- Choose An Appropriately Sized Fish Tank: A larger tank is easier to maintain than a small one, which can become contaminated more quickly. For small fish, 20 gallons is a good size to start out with. For betas, a five-gallon fish tank will do. Gerber’s Tropical Fish has a wide variety of aquariums to choose from.
