Aquarium freshwater fish are a good choice for those who have the desire for a pet but not much time or patience to tend to one. One of the advantages of these creatures is that they are completely quiet, so you can pretty much put them anywhere without them disturbing the place. It just takes a few moments a day to feed them and test their water temperature, so they will not take too much time out of your day.
If your schedule is busy, the best choice in aquarium freshwater fish is probably a Betta fish. You can place one on a crystal tank, also known as mini tanks. According to the Japanese mythology, Betta fish posses' mystical features and bring good luck. The downside to this specie is that it's a very aggressive fish.
This is why you will always see this fish in an isolated tank, they are highly territorial. Never test the fish by placing it among other species or worst, one of its own. This is considered animal cruelty and the whole point of owning fish
is to care for them, not to make them suffer.
Another aquarium freshwater fish cherished in Asian culture is the Goldfish. Goldfish are popular due to their strong and resistant build. Feng Shui portrays them as balance and abundance symbols, most commonly when having a tank with seven yellow goldfish and a single black one amongst them. It is said that this combination will bring prosperity, therefore its very common to see them in office places and businesses.
Even if you have never noticed, or are skeptical about it, aquarium freshwater
fish and any other type of pet and animal, have personalities and querks. You must be careful when combining several species in the same tank, making sure the species in question get along. You don't want these temperamental creatures to clash; they could get into a fight and injure each other. Be alert for territorial attacks!
Whatever your taste and philosophy on aquarium freshwater fish is, always bear in mind that they need your care to survive. These creatures will bring joy, beauty and harmony to your environment. Make sure you keep theirs the same way.
