First Time Fish Buyers Guide
Any experienced aquarist will tell you that the best beginner fish is a goldfish. All fish will require the best basic care – the right temperature of water (anywhere between 20C/65F to no more than 22C/72F) which is changed regularly to ensure the levels of ammonia don’t build up. Water that is too warm for your fish can lead to anything from damage to the immune system to heart damage and nerve damage. All of these can be easily avoided by maintaining an appropriate, safe temperature. Bear in mind what size your fish is likely to grow to, as well, as you will need to find a tank that will accommodate your fish when fully grown.
