fish compatibility

Fish compatibility refers to how well different species of fish can coexist in the same aquarium. Essential factors include the fish's temperament (aggressive or peaceful), size (to avoid predation), water chemistry preferences (like pH and temperature), and social behavior (loners vs. schooling fish). Selecting compatible fish helps maintain a healthy and stress-free environment, reducing aggression and potential harm. Researching specific species’ needs and characteristics is crucial before adding new fish to ensure they can thrive together harmoniously in your aquarium.
