Fish

In addition to owning two dogs and NOW (we are very sad about this) only one cat, we also have managed to take care of three fish for about a year.

Now fish can be very tempermental pets to take care of, but I have listed a few tips to help you care for your fresh water fish:

Remember:

• An inch of fish per every gallon of water (no more)
• Tank temperature should be between 74 - 78 degrees Fahrenheit
• If adding tap water make sure to add a cap-full of water conditioner per 10 gallons of water
• The aquarium should be located in a position to take advantage of any available daylight, but not direct sunlight. Near a window is preferable, but the tank should not be in a position where the sun shines directly into it, or the tank will over heat.
• Fish require to be fed at least once a day, but preferably twice a day. Feed them a small pinch each time you feed them.
