If you are a fish person and have a few of them in your home, then it is only natural for you to feel that you must beautify it. Even if you don’t have fish yet and plan to get some soon as your silent companions, then you need to work on priority in readying the right kind of fish tank for them. Most people face a lot of trouble when they begin to decorate their aquarium. For starters, they do not know where to begin! Well, worry not! We, at Sicons The Pet Safari have you covered. Here in this blog, we are going to tell you all about the best aquarium accessories that will make your fish tank the talk of the town and more importantly - be a comfortable and healthy home for the fish folk!

What are the must-have aquarium accessories?

When you begin to spruce up your aquarium, the first thing that you need to invest in is a good substrate. There is a variety to choose from - be it sandy, small or large gravel or even use small stones. At Sicons, you have a range of substrates to choose from. All you have to do is decide on your preference and your pick will be available at our store. However, there are a few important things to be kept in mind when you choose your substrate.

The kind of fish you want or have dictates the kind of substrate you must buy. For fish like eels or knife fish, a sandy bottom will be most appropriate. The choice of gravel and sandstones as substrates are popular for freshwater tanks. They give a beautiful, natural look to the tank and are also extremely easy to clean. This is one of the reasons why gravel and sandstones are considered as one of the best aquarium accessories. Just like people have varied choices when it comes to choosing a substrate for their fish tank, there are also a variety of opinions and choices that fish owners have when it comes to choosing a plant as an aquarium accessory. However, this does not mean that it is not popular amongst fish owners. The list of aquarium accessories is incomplete without plants - be it fake or real. Certain people like putting plants in the fish tank because of the colour and texture it adds, whereas certain people add them simply because some plants are found in freshwater environments and make the fish tank look natural. At Sicons, we offer you all kinds of plants as aquarium accessories.

Many people like to buy artificial or fake plants to keep in their fish tanks, instead of living, real plants. This is because artificial plants are brighter and more colourful as compared to real ones. They come in a variety of colours and you can make your fish tank space of vast colours and bright beauties by adding artificial plants as one of the best aquarium accessories. Artificial plants are also extremely easy to maintain especially because you do not have to worry about them dying. And just like real plants, they provide a comfortable and safe place for fish to hide. This does not take away from real plants the ability and capability of improving the water quality once they are kept in the fish tank. Plants use the waste created by fish that helps keep the nitrogen levels low in the tank. Plants use Co2 for their respiration and give out O2 that is used by fish for respiration.

There is no limit to the kind of decorations that you can put in your aquarium in order to make it look more attractive and comfortable for your fish. From sunken ships to rocks, fake corals and even a Stonehenge - everything is available at Sicons all you have to do is take your pick. There is no dearth of products when it comes to the best aquarium accessories. Because the materials that have been used to create these products are safe and made keeping in mind the health of fish, these items will not get spoilt or submerged in water for very long periods of time. A point of caution that we want to share with you is that you must avoid adding driftwood or real coral. These can bring a host of parasites with them which in turn can harm your fish and give them diseases. So, if you want to protect your fish from unwanted infections and want them to have a long life then avoid decorating your tank with real corals or driftwood. You must also stop yourself from adding items that have sharp edges and are not designed to be kept in the fish tank.

There are a few things to be kept in mind when you pick the aquarium accessories for your fish tank. One of the most important points is to know and understand the size of your tank. It is also extremely helpful to know if you are adding plants and how many you should add. Too many may give a tank look overcrowded and small. Last but not the least, you can choose wisely if you know exactly how you want your fish tank to look. Having a clear picture of the kind of look you want to give your aquarium will help you pick the right things to complete your vision.
