Choose the Best Pet Fish for You

Are you in the market for a pet? Can’t handle all the attention needed by a dog? Are you allergic to the fur of a cat? Why not try and take care of a fish? Pet fish are one of the easier pets to handle and look after. They do not require a lot of your time nor do they make a big mess of the house. Smaller fish are the best if you are a first time fish owner or even a first time pet owner.


Goldfish can are one of the easiest fish to take care of. They just need the basics: a small fish bowl, fish pellets once or twice a day, proper oxygen and clean water. They don’t grow to be so big which means changing of aquariums isn’t needed. If you are a first time fish owner then taking care of a goldfish is the best choice. Once you master this then you can start expanding your pet fish.

Koi’s are a favorite choice for people with small ponds in the house. People equate Koi’s to good luck and taking good care of Koi has been said to bring good luck to its owner. You need to have proper space for Koi’s to swim around in. They are not as easy to take care of since changing the water for a pond is more difficult than cleaning the water of an aquarium. These fish also have a big appetite and like eating their pellets all day.

These are just two choices of species you have if you’re in the market for a pet fish. You have to weigh the amount of time and money you have when choosing a fish. Make sure you choose a fish that suits your lifestyle. Enjoy the happiness of owning a pet fish!
