You need to be very wise while deciding on the right type of fish for your aquarium. The fish that you choose should complement each other and should be compatible in the ecosystem that you have developed in the fish aquarium. If you do not focus on these things then you are bound to lose your money and fish.

You can divide your aquarium into certain levels. There will be a top level, mid-level and bottom level. This is done because there are fish that like to swim at the top level, others at the mid and bottom level. This way when you feed your fish, they will take the food at their specific levels and as a result there will be no food to produce toxins in the aquarium. This will also keep your fish aquarium free of algae.

If you are starting out with a fish aquarium, then you should decide on the aquarium based on the type of fish you want to keep in it. Decide on the type of fish that can complement one other and also share the same aquarium environment. All the fish in the aquarium should also feel good to look at. You should at least have 4-6 fish of a single family in your fish aquarium. This allows the fish to stay in colonies. You may want to look for Rasboras, Tetras, Cherry Barbs, Blue Gouramis, Danios, and Corydoras Catfish.
