Aquarium set up and maintenance: - general hints for beginner aquarists.


When keeping fish in your tank, the following essential guidelines should be observed for proper maintenance of the health of the fishes.

Never over crowd the aquarium. It is better to have a few fishes in radiant health than many gulping fishes battle-scarred through fighting over inadequate territory.

Never add small fishes to an aquarium that already contains large and well-established fishes, unless you have expert knowledge of the nature of both the resident fishes and the new addition.

Always be aware of the following early indications of foiling the water frothing at the water surface; water becoming cloudy; fishes breathing more rapidly than normal water producing fetid odour.

Always check that all fishes are present at feeding time.

Always adhere to "a little food often" principle. This is important during which time the nitrifying potential of the aquarium (the ability of the bacteria in the gravel to oxidize waste matter to harmless nitrates) is steadily increasing but not at a high enough level to tolerate careless over feeding.

Always change a third of the water in the tank with aged tap water weekly during the first three neutralize the PH of the water which is steadily increasing during this increasing during this period when the gravels are likely to release most of their chemical components.

Any problem arising from your aquarium after following these guidelines could be due to accidental poisoning in which case you could write to our office.
