How to avoid fish deaths in aquarium tanks


Amateur aquarists just purchasing a new tank should be careful on how to run their tanks in the first one week.

What many people do not realize is that the best aquarium they can buy are those that have been set up to operate for over seven days! The reason has to do with the amount of breakdown bacteria present in the filter bed of the aquarium.

The bacteria are necessary to help in converting the excrement and urine of the fishes and waste food into harmless by products which the plants use as fertilizer for growth.

To prevent premature fish death, therefore, any aquarium should have a fairly large quantity of these bacterial colonies.

I know too well that many old time fishkeepers with aged functional tanks are aware of the fact that bacteria colonies are highly concentrated on the grieve bed of their undergravel filter and that the build-up was gradual over a period of time.

In the same light, the young aquarist buying a newly set up tank with an undergravel filter should either request for filter which has already been in use or demand for part of the gravel bed from an old operative filter to be used as part of the materials for the new tank.

Where the two options above are not possible. You can add a tablespoonful of flower pot earth or borrow a little mulm from a fellow hobbyist.
