Platy's
Platy's are usually very cool looking fish. They usually cost around four dollars and they are supposed to breed a lot. Though in my tank they have never breed. I have had them for around three to four months. Platy's will almost always swim at the top of the tank. I have only seen them about three times when they haven't been in the top five inches of the tank. If you have a local fish store that sells freshwater fish they will most likely have Platy's. Thank you for reading my article, if you have any questions please comment.

Clown Triggerfish
Clown triggerfish fish are hardy aquarium fish. Sometimes juveniles have a hard time getting used to their new tank. Make sure you feed your clown triggerfish enough food so it will be healthy. You should probably feed your clown triggerfish three or more times a day. You should feed it frozen krill, frozen mysids, and cut seafood. When this fish is a juvenile you can keep this fish with non aggressive fish but, as it gets older it might kill other fish in the tank. You should only put one of these fish in a tank and they shouldn't be in a reef aquarium. When this fish is a juvenile it can be kept in a ten gallon tank but, when it's fully grown it should be kept in a seventy five gallon tank. If you want other fish to be in the tank it should be at least one hundred eighty gallons. The temperature in the tank should be in between seventy four and eighty two degrees.

Picasso Trggerfish
The Picasso Triggerfish can be pretty easy to keep as long as you feed this fish enough. You should probably feed this fish around three to five times a day. When this fish becomes an adult you can feed it less. You should feed this fish frozen krill, frozen mysid shrimp, and chopped seafood. You will know if you don't feed this fish enough because the back muscles and the belly will look squeezed inward.

You should not put this fish in a reef aquarium. If you go to the bottom of the page you will see a picture of a Picasso Triggerfish. If you have any questions please comment.

Yellow Tang
One really good fish for a saltwater aquarium is the yellow tang. This fish is durable and will not catch most fish diseases. If you're thinking about having a yellow tang, your tank should be at least 125 gallons. If you were thinking about buying other tangs, you should buy them all at the same time so, they don't fight. They will usually do great together if you do this. Yellow tangs will pretty much eat anything you feed them. This fish should be fed a plant diet. This includes zucchini, romaine lettuce, and nori. These foods should be on a clip on the side of the wall of the tank so, the yellow tang can eat it. This fish usually grows to about six to eight inches.

The Discus
Discus are schooling fish that are peaceful. This fish should be kept in a tank with its own kind because of the high temperature it needs to survive. The only fish they can be kept with are other fish that do well in the heat. They should not be kept with angelfish because they can get diseases from them. Discus should be in a tank with soft substrate and floating plants. They should be in a tank that is thirty five gallons or more. Make sure you pay attention to the quality of the water in the tank. You should do water changes pretty often. Also, you should feed your discus live food so it's color is brighter. You can feed them flakes but, you should not feed them flakes all the time. If you go to the bottom of the page you will see a picture of a discus. If you have any questions, please comment.

The Dogface Pufferfish
The dog face puffer is a cool fish that is difficult to take care of. One of the most biggest challenges with this fish is its teeth growth. The dog face puffers teeth naturally get worn down by algae and stony corals. Their teeth will not be able to function if you don't provide them with these foods. The dog face puffer comes in a lot of different colors. The most common one is a gray body with a white strip and a brown chin. This fish can grow up to twelve inches in length. This fish can do well in tanks with semi aggressive fish. After taken fish is acclimated you could put fish in like triggerfish. You can also put fish that are not as aggressive with this fish. You should not put fish like scorpion fish and frogfish because it would eat them. Also, this fish can unfortunately eat sea anemones, stony corals, crustaceans, sea urchins, and snails. Unfortunately, sometimes the dog face puffer will die even if you do everything right. If you go to the bottom of the page you will see a picture of a dog face puffer. Thank you for reading my post.
