Suggestions
Things you should do.
- Purchase a couple of good books.
- Feed your fish no more than once a day. Feeding them more can cause a multitude of problems including high nitrates and nuisance algae growth.
- Purchase a magnet cleaner. This cleaner will allow you to clean the algae on the sides of your tank in a matter of minutes.
- Always ground your tank. Induced voltage from your aquarium equipment can cause stress on your fish. By grounding your tank you eliminate this as a problem.
- Vary their diet. Like people, fish need a variety of nutrients to be healthy.
- Keep up with your water changes. This is a very important part of fish keeping. It is easier and less expensive to do your water changes than to fix a problem caused by lack of water changing.
