Your fish need to have the right environment if they are going to survive and thrive. Most important of all is the water quality and that it is well oxygenated. After all, fish have to breathe and if you were living somewhere that didn?t have enough oxygen, you would soon be a bit unhappy! Your fish however do not have the option to complain, so it is up to you to make sure that the water is of good quality, contains plenty of oxygen and is cleaned and changed regularly.
Maintaining the right temperature and environment is also very important. Some fish thrive in temperate or cold water, while many species need the water to be much warmer for them to survive. You also need to make sure that different species of fish get on together if you are having a mix of fish.
Before buying your fish it is important to do as much research as possible on which would be the best for you.

It is a very popular hobby and there is bound to be one in your area. There are also a great many specialist clubs for different species such as Koi Carp. These are great fun and you can learn a lot by talking to other enthusiasts and getting advice.
