Taking care of a pet fish can be easy if one remembers these crucial steps. First, it is important that the fish is fed at least once a day to keep it healthy. It is also very important to change the water once a week to keep the fish in a safe environment.

Pearls are made by a living animal known as a mollusk. A mollusk forms a pearl when it gets a piece of sand trapped inside it’s shell. As a protective measure, the mollusk then coats the grain of sand with a material called nacre.
