Babies I've kept underwater!
I'm going to write about my hobby and its fishkeeping.Fish keeping involves setting up and maintaining an aquarium where fish and other aquatic plants or creatures are kept. I am saying this as my hobby because it involves leisure ,learning and personal enjoyment. Fish keeping hobby offers a unique way to interact with nature and bring a piece of the underwater world into our home.
Fish keeping is considered as a beneficial hobby for several reasons. Some key reasons why fish keeping is good are; it can help to manage anxiety and depression by providing a focus and a sense of accomplishment. Watching fish swim gracefully in a well maintained aquarium can have a calming effect and reduce stress. That's why it's therapeutic. It's also allows you to bring a piece of the natural world into your home. Such it helps you to appreciate the beauty and the complexity of underwater life. Also helps you to build knowledge about their ecosystem. It also involves learning such as water parameters needs of different species. Also it promotes a sense of responsibility like we have to feed them timely , clean and monitor the water quality.
I started fishkeeping when I was in class 10 as a way to manage my stress. It was a challenging time and I was looking for something that could help me to relax and find some peace in my busy life. That's when I decided to get my first fish - Betta fish (I named him Odeng). As better fish are quite playful so watching my Betta swim around its tank with its vibrant blue color fins and graceful movements brought a sense of calm that I really needed at that time. The routine of caring for it , from feeding to cleaning the tank ,and teaching him some tricks give me something positive to focus on.
As I said, Betta fish are quite playful. They enjoy exploring their environment interacting with objects in their tank. They are popular because of their vibrant color, easy care and flowing fins. They are curious by nature and quite engaging when we can provide plants, caves and even toys. They even respond to their owners. Also better are often kept alone due to their aggressive nature towards other male fishes.
In 2023 I brought 2 Guppy fish and they quickly multiplied by giving birth which have been a fun part of my experience. Along with Guppies I have also had two Fantail Goldfish. Which I enjoyed taking care of. For now ,I have three fish tanks for my three types of fish.
Proper care of the fish tank creates a healthy environment for fish. For setting up a fish tank we need to ensure the basic needs of fish; a tank and its size should be based on the number and the size of the tank are generally more stable. Also we have to check the pH and the temperature of the water. We have to maintain these two things according to the species needs . Also have to use dechlorinated water or a water conditioner to remove harmful chemicals. We have to keep a good filtration system that removes the debris,toxins,odors (if you have a large tank). Some life plants that grow in the water so that it can help with oxygenation and provide a natural environment. And also have to choose from send or specialized subtract based on face and plants need. Also have to choose suitable food according to the faces. We have to make sure to feed them in small amounts twice a day to prevent over feed and water pollution. And the last thing that is caring for a face or other aquatic creature we can get inside into their behaviour needs and interaction which depends on your underestimated aquatic ecosystem.
We all know that hobby is something that we love to do in our laser time and fish Keeping is my hobby. I love to spend my time on them and I think it's also a beautiful edition to any home, offering a peaceful aquatic life.
