Signs That Your Fish Is Sick
Just
like when you are sick, your fish just doesn't seem to have the same
vigor he used to have might be a sign he is sick, so it is critical
that you observe your fish every day. You might also notice him
breathing funny, or fungus or patches on the scales or fins.
Giving Your Fish Better Health
Now
that we know the cause of most fish illnesses - that is, stress, we can
work to reduce it as much as we can. That means feeding the fish
appropriate food, maintaining a clean aquarium, quarantining new fish,
and reducing abrupt movements around the tank. Keep a keen eye on the
behavior of the fish in your aquarium so you can get to judge when they
are stressed. Perhaps that new plant isn't good for them? Or maybe a
new fish or piece of decor just tips the balance too much.
If
you can provide a habitat that is closest to the fish's natural
environment this will be the least stressful for them. If you can
manage to represent a habitat that's close to the original, you should
be able to enjoy your collection of healthy fish for a very long time.
