Even though fish might not seem like the funnest pets, they still help with stress and provide a sense of ownership. They can be low maintenance and actually help with blood pressure. Fish can be unique as well and need a little bit of special care.

Fresh Water
Fresh water fish are a little harder to care for then other fish. The tanks need to be bigger and you need to learn a thing or two about pH levels. You can't just go get a bowl and fill it up and stick a fish in it. You need to know what fish need what kind of water. Things like gravel and special filters are essential.

Food
I like smoked salmon as much as the next guy, but when it comes to your pet, you need to make sure that it gets the right food too. What they eat is just as important as how much they eat. Overfeeding fish can be bad for their health. Local veterinarians can help you learn how much to feed your fish.
Tanks
Tanks are one of the most important things when it comes to owning a fish. A tank is more then just a fish bowl, its a home. Proper tanks care can be tricky to maintain. Even transferring the fish can be a bit of hassle, but it's important to do so carefully so you don't hurt the fish. If you need ideas for fish tanks, check out our Facebook page.
