Easy, Natural Fish Care Ideas

By Roland Stockwell


As an owner of an aquarium or a koi pond, people would naturally expect you to take good care of the fishes that are in it. This may seem to be difficult at first but as soon as you get to know the basic methods, you find out that it is actually easy.

Freshwater fish tanks and aquariums may have different designs and purpose but these do share the same kind of basic care. One of the first things that you should consider though is that all these should be set up in the correct manner. It is very important that the filtration systems and the tank size should be appropriate to the number of fishes that you have. If you are not very knowledgeable about this, it is best that you ask an expert on aquariums and freshwater fishes before you actually start setting up.

In addition to these important items, you need to ensure that water is balanced and clean at all times. One easy way to help with this process is to add a natural fish tank cleaner to your aquarium. The Healthy Ponds Fish Tank Cleaner, for example, is a small plastic dispenser that holds a bacteria pack. The safe, naturally occurring bacteria in the pack deals with problems ranging from excesses of fish waste, slime and organic build up.

The bacteria pack in the Healthy Ponds Fish Tank Cleaner can last for about a month. After a month though, you would have to replace the bacteria pack with a new one. You do not have to worry about the effectiveness and safety of this product because this has been tested.

Keeping water clean is just as important for those who own a koi pond, and Healthy Ponds has created several products specifically for koi pond cleaning. There are several options, including the AquaSpherePRO, which is a biodegradable sphere that you just gently toss into the koi pond and it immediately begins releases beneficial bacteria into the koi pond, consuming excess nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen.

You may also opt for the AquaLily as a means of keeping organic growth at the minimum while taking good care of the health of the fish. This device has a small dispenser, which is also where a cleaning packet is placed, and is designed like a lily pad, making it quite an attraction when installed in a pond. The AquaSpherePRO and the AquaLily have been tested by veterinarians to make sure that these are effective and safe and it these have passed the standards.
