Since Finding Nemo was released in to our cinemas there has been a huge increase in people wanting to keep Marine fish. This is because of the vast amount of unusual, colourful and different species available. Well tell your kids the good news — Nemo (clown fish) can be found at Lynwood Aquatics for only £12 - £15 each.
A lot of people seem to think that keeping Marine fish is a bit of a challenge,
well it’s not quite as hard as you would think. Once you have the initial set up it is actually quite easy to maintain.
Marine set-ups start from as little as £150 (equipment only) going all the way up to £1000 - £2000 for an extravagant set up with rare and unique fish.
Tropical fish are also easy to keep with a huge range of species available. Tropical fish vary in size depending on what you want.
There are smaller fish for smaller enclosures. If you are not pushed for space then you can go for the bigger fish such as Oscars
or Arrowanna these can grow up to 8ft in length, ideal if you are looking for extravagant fish and a larger set up.
Tropical set-ups start from £70 (equipment only) again
going up in to the thousands for bigger / special set-ups.
Cold Water fish, again there are lots to choose from.
Cold water fancy’s such as Black Moors, Lionheads, Red Caps, Bubble Eyes and
of course the popular Goldfish can all be kept and appreciated in a tank at home. Small set-ups start from £40 (equipment only).
If
you prefer to keep your fish outside in a pond or water feature there are the Larger Species such as Large goldfish, Ghost/Mirror
Carp, Golden Orf, Gold Rudd, Tench and Grass Carp and of course the infamous Koi.
Quality of water - This always comes down to good filtration and regular Water changes whether it is Marine fish, Tropical fish or
Cold Water fish.
Look after your fish - If there seems to be a problem, don’t hang on and hope it goes away. Always contact your aquatic
dealer for Professional advice.
Things to look out for - Ph + Kh levels must be correct for the species of fish. Nitrate, Nitrite
& Oxygen levels must be monitored. (Bear in mind the warmer the water, the lower the Oxygen levels. Summer can be a dangerous
time for ponds!)
Feeding your fish - You should always use good quality food. Make sure that you have the correct food for the specific
type of fish.
New Set Up - Please note when you are introducing fish to a new set up, make sure that your aquatics dealer knows this
when you go to buy your fish.
(Please note certain marines & tropicals are on the S.I.T.E.S. list meaning that some require a license and some are illegal to catch and keep.)
