Fish for saltwater aquariums are classified according to their difficulty to handle, and how quickly they adapt to new circumstances. The five categories for the management of ARE Beginner, Intermediate skills required, only Coral advanced skills, and requirements known. Make sure that the selected fish meet the requirements that need to survive and thrive in your aquarium, talking to the owner.
In looking at the fish store, take time to observe for a while before buying. Much better to know that the fish is sick or injured before you buy it after having taken the house. Comparisons among several shops. There are some easy to check that will help you get the pleasure of creating your aquarium, and will help ensure you get the fish is healthy, they all boil down to test the behavior and appearance of the fish before you buy.
In particular, look in the eyes - the eyes should be bright and active, rather than seeming recess or small, or "more shot" - the eye of a fish is the most common place for infection to show symptoms, and is worth punishment in the course of a week or so into the shop to make sure the fish is healthy. Soft tissue around the mouth are another place where bacterial or fungal infections may show and is better informed about them in the store. Lesions of the mouth can also affect the provision of fish to eat.
General body features, make sure the fish is moving smoothly - which is the water that passes through their gills regularly, rather erratically. Verify that the tears and raggedness on the fins, which can be a sign that is fought with fellow tank, or suffering from ammonia burns inadequate filtration. Check the abdominal region and scales, and if the abdomen is "fat", the fish is eating well, and probably can be adapted to the disturbance of moving to a new tank. If the abdomen is sunken, the fish is not eating well and can not be viable. Similarly, the color and condition of the scales should be gradual and even, missing scales and discolored spots are signs of infection, especially when combined with gill spasmodic action.
Finally, do not neglect the plants for their aquarium, but make sure you are not causing problems with his new fish! Again, talk to the owner of the fish to ensure that plants and fish are compatible!
