Fish are probably the lowest maintenance of all pets. They don’t need your company. They do not need grooming. You don’t need to train them. You never need to exercise your fish.

The fish can be fed once a day, or if you need to go away for the weekend, you can get slow release food that will last a couple of days.

Fish will never chew on your slippers, bite your guests or dirty your carpet.

The fish are silent, so the neighbors will not complain about the noise.

You only need a space the size of your fish tank to keep the fish.

The fish will not cover your clothes and furniture with loose hair. They do not shed hair, so the fish do not aggravate allergies in those who suffer from it.

At the end of a stressful day, there is nothing more relaxing than sitting back and watching the fish float gracefully in the crystal clear water.

The cost of setting up a simple goldfish tank with a couple of goldfish is very moderate. His food doesn’t cost much and a container lasts for months. There are no other costs for the basic setup. Compared to the cost of a cat or dog, this is very cheap.

If you want variety, you can’t beat the range available. You can buy larger tanks, pumps, filters, heaters, plants, and decorations. You can buy exotic fish and choose between tropical, saltwater and freshwater tanks. There are many different ways to enhance your experience with the fish, if you decide to get more involved.

You need some knowledge of the types of fish and their natural habitat. You can learn a lot from the internet, but the best knowledge comes from the people who farm the fish. Find a good aquarium keeper, as many pet store owners do not have a good understanding of fish farming. Maybe you are interested in joining a club. Members would be a good source of valuable information on fish farming.

Visit the people who keep large tanks of exotic fish. Look at the way your tanks are set up. The ones I like the most are the natural ones. They look like a window to the sea, with plants and a variety of fish, including snails and fish of many different sizes. If you prefer a fun look, there are plenty of decorations you can place to create an interesting scene. Decorations are good for concealing equipment such as bombs and air bubblers.

Fish farming can be a rewarding and interesting hobby. They allow people with demanding careers to enjoy pets without the hassles of grooming, training, exercising, and the companionship demands of other pets. They are also very beautiful creatures.
