Keeping Fish Happy In Salt Water Aquariums

If you plan on having salt water aquariums you have to know how to keep the inhabitants happy or they may die from anxiety related diseases. Some fish are easier to maintain than others as they adjust well to captivity. Others are not suited to those novice fish tank owners and are best avoided. Nobody unless they are proven experts and dwell in a house without pets or children can house dangerous fish in their aquarium. Piranha, electric eels and catfish are some of the species you should avoid.

Sea Bass are very widely used for custom tanks because they are so wonderful. They are somewhat easy to maintain as well with the greatest concern being their eventual size. They will often eat smaller fish so be careful who you house them with.

Lionfish are interesting to watch but need to be handled carefully as their sharp spines can result in a nasty hurt. These fish commonly require to be fed live food so unless you can maintain this on a daily basis you may like to buy those that have been trained to take dead food. With regard to Sea Bass, if you put these fish in a tank with smaller fish the latter will end up as dinner.

Some fish found in salt water aquariums like to bury themselves in sand and therefore shouldn't be in your tank except if you have the sand available. These include the Jawfish who love to dig in sand but are also known to jump out of the tank if a cover is not safe!

In case you prefer a boxfish be sure that the other inhabitants are friendly or this fish will discharge its toxic mucus thus killing off most other inhabitants of the aquarium. One of the main problems with salt water aquariums is the fact that the fish are meant for the deep Ocean and therefore their natural protection can result in their death in captivity.
