The Absolute Tropical Fish Secrets Guide
So, you want to know some secrets about caring for your tropical fish? Then you are viewing the right guide. You see, tropical fish aren't just like any ordinary fish, they're temperament, meaning that they're used to warmer climates, be it within saltwater or freshwater rivers and oceans.
The thing with tropical fish is that they have a little more character, a little more personality, and most importantly, a little more vibrance and color than their usual aquarium counterparts. Because of this, tropical fish can be an absolute delight to watch within the fish tank, however on the same token, they also require more care and nurturing in order to ensure they live happy and healthy lives, which will ultimately lead to your enjoyment.
So if you want to care for your tropical fish the correct way, then it's important you're aware of some tropical fish secrets that you must adopt. For starters, tropical fish enjoy certain types of lighting as opposed to ordinary fish. To make makes slightly more complex, some species of tropical fish prefer a dimmer environment whilst other species before a much more colorful and bright environment.
Knowing when to feed your tropical fish is another trick of the trade. Beginner and rather new amateur tropical fish pet owners will typically feed their tropical fish whenever they remember, at any time of the day, just when they thing it 'suits'. The best strategy however is to feed your tropical fish at the same consistent times, varying them slightly depending upon the time of day and even the outdoor weather and lighting.
Some tropical fish secrets are also not readily revealed by the pet shop owners. These include certain types of tropical fish that just don't get on with other types. For example, some fish may be more prone to disease than others depending upon their environment. Some species and breeds of fish may even go so far as to eat their smaller counterparts. The last thing you want is to set up a fish tank and watch your fish slowly disappear due to either of these terrible things!
So at the end of the day, be mindful of these tropical fish secrets, and use them to your advantage when caring for your fish and your fish tank. All it takes is one mistake to break the natural aqua cycle of your tropical fish environment, causing all your hard work to come to a complete halt.

What kind of ornaments do tropical fish like in there aquarium?
I am going to get a bubble curtain today and 2 (or maybe 3) live plants. I have some fake coral and a rock like thing for decorations. I am going to add more gravel too. Also, do tropical fish like to play with any kind of ball or something? Like a ping-pong ball? Thanks for your help!
I have gouramis, angelfish, barbs, danios, ect...
I have a light and a filter aslo:)
It really depends on the type of tropical fish you're getting. Cichlids and most cat fish and other bottom dwelling fish like loaches and eels like rocks and caves to hide in. I have a little orchid pot in one of my tanks, my catfish love it and so does my little african dwarf frog.
With mid dwelling fish, almost all will appreciate some plants, real or fake. Make sure you know if your fish like to eat plants or not before you get real ones. Only plant toward the back and sides of the tank so there is plenty of room to swim around and be active in.
With my top dwelling fish they seem to like all of my plants. I just would not have too many that grow up to the surface and/or float. If you have Gouramis or other "Labyrinth" fish make sure they can have access to the surface because they will actually take gulps or "breaths" of air.
I would only buy one air stone or "bubble curtain" and see how your fish like it. Mine are afraid of the constant bubbles and will only stay on the opposite end of the tank when ever I have them on. With gravel I've learned that generally you only want 1-2 pounds of gravel to one gallon of water. I usually stick to one because I don't want my aquarium to weigh more than necessary.
As for toys I don't think most fish will care too much for them, but my Zebra Danios like to investigate floaty bath toys. I'll move them around and they almost swarm around them. It's pretty entertaining, so some of those or, like you said, maybe a ping pong ball might be kinda neat and interesting to whatever fish you have or are going to get. I just wouldn't invest too much in them lol.
I hope this helps, good luck!
