Fish for beginners

Although it requires a great deal of dedication and maintenance, freshwater aquariums are a great hobby for potential pet owners. Caring for fish can be very detailed and complex, but there are some helpful tips for beginners to get the most out of their aquarium while maintaining their health and longevity.

There are two basic types of freshwater aquariums: community tanks and seed tanks.

Seed tanks contain one type of seed and are often used for seeds that require special tank conditions. This type of tank is not recommended for beginners.

The other type of community tank is recommended for beginners as it contains several types of fish that can coexist peacefully in one environment. Not only is this a good situation to see some types of fish, but it is generally easier to care for the aquarium as all fish require similar “typical” aquarium conditions.

Choosing a fish that fits the community’s freshwater tanks is important to promote fish health and overall well-being. Beginners can choose from many types. In general, it is recommended to mix three basic fish types: top water, mid water and bottom. By choosing fish from each of these types, you are recreating what is naturally present.

Top water fish:

Top waterfish spend most of their time on the upper floors of the aquarium. Guppy, Black Molly, Zebra Danio and Siamese Fighting Fish (only one male per tank) are easy to care for for beginners.

Middle-rise fish:

Medium-water fish spend most of their time at intermediate levels in the aquarium, and most of these fish are best suited for groups of at least 5 or 6. Medium water fish suitable for beginners: Neon Tetra, Angelfish, Blue Gourami.

Demersal fish:

Demersal fish spend most of their time at the bottom of the aquarium and are generally aquarium vacuum cleaners. They can eat algae and help keep your tank clean. Some bottom fish suitable for beginners are red-tailed sharks, corydora catfish and pleco.

In addition to mixing the three basic types, there are some other common helpful tips. For example, schools of fish should be kept in groups of at least 5 or 6, and aggressive fish should be avoided by beginners. Fish with special water quality requirements should be avoided by beginners and anyone looking for a community tank.

Marula Fruits-African sake for wildlife, or a complete myth?

Are you familiar with the Marula tree? Otherwise, it’s a beautiful African tree that produces wonderful and delicious fruits! Apparently a delicious fruit that intoxicates elephants …? The story goes on for years … it has even become a liquor called “Amarula” for lovers (by the way, it’s very tasty like Baileys)! origin The story dates back to the 1970s (1974 to be exact). A man named Jamie Uys produced two documentaries called “Beautiful People” (he also directed “Gods Must Be Crazy”). In particular, the footage of wild animals getting drunk after eating the fruits of Marula was an immediate hit (and won the highest documentary award).
