WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE TRANSPORTING & PURCHASING FISH?

Such people can easily maintain fish as pets. Gazing at their vibrant colours and locomotive activities are known to help in reducing stress and tiredness. Fishes need less care in comparison to other pets. They don’t occupy too much space in homes either. Their relative ease of maintenance has encouraged many people to keep them as pets. They need less care but it does not mean that we forget about the aquarium. Let’s understand how we can care for fishes in the best possible manner.

The journey of fishes begins from fish farms and culminates in the local fish shop. This passage is very uncomfortable. Proper packing of fishes is the guarantee of survival during transit. But sellers sometimes group too many fishes together in small packets to reduce the transportation cost. Due to low oxygen and stress, many fishes die. Wholesaler is always responsible for providing the ideal conditions so that fishes can reach safely to their destination.

It is very easy to save the precious life of fishes. This can be done by following these simple steps:

a. Most of the sellers pack expensive fishes properly but the low-priced ones such as molly are packed in inhuman conditions. Sellers and buyers, both ignore the death of these poor fishes due to their low price. But life should always be respected. Fishes should be packed properly without considering their cost. Fishes can survive for more than 48 hours with proper packing.
