    Raising and Breeding

    Aquarium Fishes
    EPP 4 – QUARTER 2- LESSON 4
    Raising and breeding aquarium fish is a wonderful
    way to bring nature into your home. Setting up an
    aquarium is easy if you learn the basic to get
    started. Soon you will be watching the fishes swim
    gracefully in new aquarium.
    For a young person like you, raising and
    breeding aquarium fish is not hard to do
    provided you keep the following guidelines:
    1.Do the following steps to set up an
    aquarium.
    • Start with a 5-to15- galloon tank or
    aquarium.
    • Choose a very sturdy aquarium stand to
    hold the tank’s weight. The tank’s edges
    must not stick out of the stand. It must
    stand on a wooden or concrete floor.
    • Place the aquarium near an electrical outlet
    to easily install the filter, aerators, and other
    gadgets.
    •Fill the bottom of aquarium with gravel or sand before
    setting it up with water plants and decorations such as
    driftwood.
    •Fill the tank with 5.08 cm water and wait for half an hour
    to look for leaks. Then fill it with 1/3 full of water.
    •Add water dechlorinator according to the directions from
    the bottle. Tap water contains chlorine and other chemicals
    that will kill fish. A teaspoon of rock salt is used in the
    absence of chemical dechlorinator.
    2.You are now ready to put the fish into the or
    aquarium.
    • Start with tropical fish species such as guppies, molly,
    tetra, and cichlid. Tropical fish are freshwater fish.
    The fish store usually provide accurate information
    and good quality fish
    • Choose two of the smallest pair of male and female or
    a group of five from the school of fish. Do not buy
    too many fish since putting them all together at once
    will make the water toxic. Wait for ten days to add
    more fish but do not overcrowd your aquarium.
    ● Bring home the fish from the pet shop. It is
    usually placed in a clear plastic bag with
    water and oxygen. It will last for 2 ½ hours.
    ● Set the bag of fish in the aquarium for 20 to
    30 minutes to acclimatize. Then take the bag
    out and dump out the water before releasing
    the fish to the tank.
    3. Feed the fishes with appropriate food from the pet shop.
    • Feeding fish once a day is recommended. Aquarium fish are
    noted for being messy and producing a lot of waste. Clean
    the aquarium regularly by changing the water.
    4. Breeding fish is more successful if they are in a pond of a garden.
    It is difficult to breed fish in the limited space of the tank. Tropical fish are more
    productive when set in a pond. Spawning or producing eggs are caring for the fries, or
    baby fish, are easier for the parent fish.
    You will be surprised to see many fries swimming in the pond’s surface. Pet shops
    usually source their goods from the owner’s pond. You will be ready to sell them at a
    good price.
