When it comes to adding aquatic life, oysters in aquariums are a nice touch that not many people think about. But they should.

Let’s dive right in.

Oysters In Aquariums And What They Need

Saltwater aquariums can make a lovely addition to a home. And are a source of endless fascination to young and old alike.

The different fish and plant life which are capable of living in a saltwater aquarium are both exotic and beautiful. They provide a rich introduction to life under the sea.

Other Elements

Fish and plants are not the only things which can be found in the deep blue. It is becoming more and more common for aquarium owners to attempt to incorporate these other elements into their home aquarium.

Artificial oysters in aquariums open up and blow bubbles into the water. They have been a part of home aquariums for many years. With the increase in desire to perfectly emulate the ocean floor live oysters are becoming a common addition to saltwater aquariums.

Pearls

It is not common but not unheard of for a pearl producing oyster to be offered as an addition to a home aquarium. However, it is generally their less productive relations that become permanent residents.

Scallops and oysters have more specific needs than many of the inhabitants of the home aquarium. It is necessary the aquarium owner be sure that they are prepared. And make these adjustments prior to installing oysters in aquariums.

Pristine Conditions for Oysters in Aquariums

Oysters require very “pristine” water conditions. These are not the organism of choice for those who tend to be a bit lazy about cleaning their tank.

The oyster will not survive long if their water becomes cluttered with junk. Fortunately, oysters in aquariums also filter the water. So this may balance itself out.

They also have specific dietary needs that will not be met with the generic food fed to many saltwater inhabitants.

Organic Food

They will need a specialized organic food designed especially for filter feeders. This can be inserted with a pipette upstream of the oyster.

Each oyster is going to need to be fed individually. So unless an aquarium owner finds themselves with a great deal of time on their hands it may be wise to keep the oyster population of their aquarium to a minimum.

These invertebrates also require nutritional supplementation with phytoplankton. This is a microscopic portion of plankton that drift through the water.

Certain Types

When it comes to oysters in aquariums certain types of oysters have been shown to have a better chance of survival in captivity than others.

The beginner would be wise to look to these breeds to begin with. Then move on to the more delicate oysters as they become more comfortable with their needs.

Common oysters in aquariums are the spiny oyster and the thorny oyster. Strange yet accurate names for these beautiful and unique creatures.

Oysters in Aquariums are Demanding but Beautiful

Oysters are a demanding but beautiful addition to any home aquarium. For more information on introducing an oyster to a home aquarium consumers should speak with the retailers who sell them.

Remember, when it comes to oysters in aquariums, no detail is too small. As you are attempting to take an organism from its natural environment and watch it thrive.

Now I’d like to hear from you.

Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.
Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
