Hello, =)
I just got 2 Pearl Scale fishes and this is the first time that I'm taking care of fishes so I'm pretty nervous.
I can't seem to find out much about Pearl Scale fishes online except that when handling them, one should catch them using the hands cause they have very sensitive scales.
Mine are the fat and round kind. They are so adorable. They are only a few months old.
Okay, so far these are what I know.
(1) The sales person estimated that I should change the water once every 2 weeks.
(2) Feed them twice a day. Morning and Night. About 6 pellets each time. (I did as told but my fishes keep going up to the surface once awhile. Does that mean they are hungry? I gave them a little bit more and they finished it. After some time they go up to the surface again!! My friend noticed that sometimes they just eat abit of the pellets and then spit the rest out. Does this mean the food if horrible?)
(3) When cleaning tank and changing water, I should keep half of the old water (filtering out the dirt) because the fishes are used to it.
I don't have a oxygen pump yet because I couldn't bring an electric one home. I'm going to get it next weekend. So I got the oxygen balls instead.
I have decorated my tank with blue stones and a plant. I also got my anti chlorine solution and fish food.
My fishes are very shy. They always hide under the plant when I'm around and I feel so sad.
I also noticed that they like to stick around one another. Oh yes, while they were still at the shop. I noticed that they like to shake themselves left and right. But they don’t seem to do it now here.
Is there anything else I need to know.
Thank you.
