Tip of the Day – 7/3/2011

When purchasing fish, make sure to purchase within your ability. By that I mean, don’t purchase a finicky fish that you don’t have the skill level or time to take care of. If you are a beginner aquarist or have a very busy work or family schedule, stick with hardy fish that are easy to care for and don’t require a lot of attention. Choosing fish that have special needs or require constant care will surely never thrive in the care of someone who is too busy or distracted, and they will most likely die in that person’s care.
