Are you thinking about having a unique fish in your aquarium?
If yes, a starfish looks a little weird, but their beauty makes them a highly sought-after fish species. While there are different types of fish, such as the Sifting Sea Star, and the Chocolate Chip Starfish, they are the species that do not require extensive care from an average aquarium owner.
Here are essential facts to consider before you can bring a starfish into your home aquarium.
- There are over 40 species of starfish. This means that you have unlimited options to choose your favorite starfish. However, before you can introduce one to the aquarium, you need to understand that they are predatory. They might attack other fish in the aquarium or other invertebrates such as sponges, anemones, urchins, and others. To prevent them from feeding on other fish, make sure you feed your starfish shrimps, clams, or other meaty products. Even though most of this might not be their natural diet, they will inhibit their chances to attack different life in your aquarium.
- Many starfish species can grow to bigger sizes, and thus you will need to make sure the aquarium is big enough to accommodate a fully grown starfish. Even more, it might disrupt other fish varieties in the tank and perhaps toppling the rocks and other objects in the tank such as corals and rocks.
- Before you can buy a starfish, make sure that it is healthy. This is crucial since most of these species do not recover after an illness. The best way to identify a sickly starfish is to turn it on its back and check for any signs of ailments. Check on its arms since these are the most potent sights where you may identify diseases and infections.
- Besides any other consideration in your aquarium, make sure that the water quality is excellent. Consider the number of nitrates in the water, which should be at their lowest. It is also crucial to keep the fish tank clean.
Besides, it is excellent to carry out extensive research on the type of starfish you are buying. Analyze the species and look up all the relevant information you can find regarding the particular species.
With these facts in mind, you should be able to bring a healthy starfish into your home.
