41. Plan Plan before you buy Things to consider:
What kinds of fish do you want?
What kinds of needs do they have?
Things to consider:
Space
Time
Temperature
Hardiness

42. Shopping
With a plan in mind, be sure to buy everything necessary to provide your future pets with a suitable home
Tank
Filter
Heater
Bubbler
Chemicals
pH, dechlorinator, bacteria

43. Tank Must be of an adequate size
Each gallon of water is able to support 1” of fish
Note: Fish are normally sold as juveniles
Always know their adult size and plan accordingly

44. Filter This is one of the most important components to any fish tank

Water agitation on the surface increases the concentration of oxygen in the water
Some fish, however, don’t need bubblers
Bettas and gouramis are “mouth-breathers”
While they predominately use their gills to breath, they can also gulp air at the waters surface

47. Chemicals pH: Dechlorinator: Bacteria:
The pH of tap water is generally too high for aquarium fish
Aim for
Dechlorinator:
Tap water contains chlorine and chloramine as well as other heavy metals that are toxic to fish
Bacteria:
Helps to break down fish waste in a new aquarium

48. Nitrogen Cycle

What happened to this fish?

85. Essential Question
Why would fish disease be hard to spot?

86. Common Fish Diseases
Clamped Fins The fish clamps its fins close against the its body
Shimmy Looks like the fish is swimming fast but staying in the same place.

87. Common Fish Diseases
Ich Spots Ich looks like tiny white spots on the body and fins of the fish.

88. Common Fish Diseases
Red or White Sores Many things can cause sores on fish such as fights with other fish, scraping on sharp rocks, and small wounds that get infected and grow bigger.

89. Common Fish Diseases
Crashed on the Bottom When fish crash on the bottom and do not swim, it is usually a sign that they are exhausted. There are many reasons a fish can become exhausted, but quite often they have been sick, and probably showed symptoms such as gasping, shimmy, or clamped fins, before they became tired and crashed on the bottom.

90. Diseases
Glancing is a fish behavior where a fish rubs itself on the bottom of the aquarium, or on the gravel, or on a rock or ornament. The fish rubs or glances because it is itchy.

91. Diseases
Loss of Appetite If your fish is not eating or takes food in its mouth and then immediately spits it out, your fish is showing one of the Signs of Stress and Disease.

92. Diseases
Pop-eye
in itself is not a disease but is more a symptom of an underlying infection.

93. Red Sores, Pop eye

94. Gasping at the Surface
Gasping at the Surface A fish that is gasping at the surface of the water is usually suffering from a lack of oxygen, that could be due to a lack of oxygen in the water or the fish's inability to absorb the oxygen from the water.
