"Home is where the heart is.
" A home is a place where every individual's heart lives.
It is people who make a house a home with love and care.
To make your life comfortable, one needs a lot of things in a home.
Be it a human being or an animal everybody wants to make life beautiful and full of comforts and they put in lot of efforts to make a living place their dream place.
This was about the living organisms that can perform all activities on their own but there are some organisms whose homes are either made by God or we have to make them.
And one of those creatures is Angelfish.
Angelfish, basically from the Amazon River of South America which love to live in the deeper areas of the sea with lots of plants and vegetation.
This was about the God made, nature given home but there's one more home where they live and that is man-made aquariums.
If you are a fish lover and plan to bring the angels home, the first step is to get an appropriate sized aquarium.
Bringing the aquarium is not enough, you also have to keep in mind the size of the fish you are planning to buy.
As every living organism, angelfish are also particular about their home; they also need a suitable environment and all comforts.
Temperature, taste, quality, surroundings etc.
Everything has to be kept in mind.
Angelfish like the temperature to be between 75 degrees Fahrenheit to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
This temperature range is must for them as in this temperature they grow healthy and this is the perfect temperature at the time of breeding.
The pH balance of the water has to be maintained to a range of 6.
5 to 7 pH.
As angelfish are used to live in the deeper sea where there are tedious lights, in aquariums also they want dim lighting.
It wants everything just like the sea, calm, cozy, dim and lots of place to hide.
These angels want a lot of plants and vegetation in the aquarium, as they need to have lots and lots of places to hide; otherwise openness and bright lights make them nervous, creating bad effect on their health.
