For most people, having a pet fish is just an easy way to make their home feel more like home. It's calming and soothing when you want to escape from the world for a few minutes. However, with all the responsibilities we have in our lives, it can be hard to find time to care for them or do research about what they need. 

Fish are oftentimes an overlooked responsibility in the life of a pet owner. They need to be fed, cleaned regularly, and cared for just like any other animal- but do not require as much attention or time.

Do you have fish? If so then it's only natural that taking care of them is part of your routine! Clean their tank at least every week with a water conditioner if applicable. Change out about 75% of the water once per month using tap water boiled and cooled until lukewarm before adding. Replenish food daily by removing 25%-50%. Add new decorations periodically while doing maintenance tasks such as changing filters monthly too!

In this blog post, I'm going to go over some of the basics of how you should take care of your fish at home so that everyone has happy pets!

1. Decide on a type of fish

There are many different types of fish that can be taken care of at home. The first thing you need to do is decide on what type of fish you want and how big it will get before making a purchase. Some popular fishes include goldfish, bettas, guppies, and more! These pets make great companions for people who live alone or have children because they're easy to take care of but also offer tons of entertainment value. If you've never had one as a pet before then the best place to start would be with these breeds which don't require much work in return for lots of enjoyment!

2. Get an aquarium that is the right size for your fish

If you want to keep fish as pets, it's important that your aquarium is the right size for them. This will ensure they have enough space and clean water in which to swim around without feeling cramped or stressed out. Do not stress about trying to find an enormous tank when all of your friends are telling you that bigger is better. The best thing for a healthy pet like this would be a medium-sized one with lots of plants (to create natural light) and hiding spaces where he can feel safe from predators such as humans who might try coming near him!

3. Buy some food and decorations to make it feel like home

Fish are great pets but that doesn't mean you don't want to visit them at home. Fill your aquarium with decorations and food for a more cozy environment, so it feels like they're swimming in their own bedroom! Pets get lonely too - make sure the fish feel right at home in their new tank by adding some mood lighting or an underwater plant bed. You can even include pictures of other animals from underwater as decoration if you have any (or maybe just decorate with balloons!).

4. Feed your fish regularly and give them fresh water every day

Feed your fish and provide them with a fresh source of water every day. You should also clean the tank regularly to keep it healthy because bacteria can accumulate over time which will harm or kill your pet in extreme cases.

Feeding: This is an important part of caring for any aquatic animal that you have at home; not just fish! It's always best to give new food gradually so they get used to eating something different from what they're accustomed to - as well as make sure there are no allergies involved if you know about them already (or suspect). Giving feedings once per day on average means less work later down the line when their stomachs aren't full and demanding more food constantly. And don't forget regular water changes!

5. Clean their tank once a week with soap, water, and paper towels 

The tank should be cleaned with soap, water, and paper towels at least once a week to keep the fish happy. In order for this process to work well, it is important that you start by scrubbing off any algae or film from the outside of your aquarium. If there are too many materials on top of your cleaning supplies then they won't spread over as much area which will make clean-up time longer than expected!
