Fish live for relatively long periods, so it is preferable to take care of them in healthy, safe and comfortable ways.
Here are the details of raising ornamental fish at home:
Proper preparation of the ornamental fish tank:
This is done by following the following steps:
- Choosing the right size for the number and size of fish you are buying.
- Choosing the right place for the aquarium.
- Make sure the tank has a cover if the fish is a species that can jump out.
- Install a heater to maintain the aquarium water temperature between 22-29°C.
- Install a filter to keep the tank clean.
- Add sand, rocks, or wood to make it more natural.
- Add some plants to the aquarium to maintain the oxygen levels inside it and get rid of nitrates.

- Stimulate algae growth.
- Clogged filters in the sink.

Regular care of the ornamental fish tank:

- Partially change the aquarium water by 20-30% periodically.
- Clean the filter periodically to prevent clogging.
- Clean the aquarium, whether made of glass or acrylic, with a suitable cleaner.
- Be careful not to fill the aquarium with tap water due to the high levels of chlorine in it.
