Fish Tank Care Maintenance
I just got a new fish tank any tips on keeping my fish alive and taking care of maintenance please post !?
please post thank you and one more question i just got a sword tail and it stay next to heater is that normal ? thanks again please post.
the best thing for success in a fish tank is water changes.Weekly water changes are a must for the best water quality possible. Many “care sheets” say change the water 2 times a month, i believe i saw one that says once a year.
This is wrong, you will need to change the water everyweek. 25-50%.
You will need a good filter. U did say how many gallons so im assuming a 10 gallon, a filter is need to pick up waste(mechianical filteration), ammonia (chemical), and storeing benefical bacteria(bio)
Having a good filter doesnt mean that the water doesnt need to be change. That is important to understand.
Another important tip is dont overstock any tank. This is way to common, people follow the 1 inch per gallon rule but what they dont keep in mind is that these fishes will grow and they dont understand that if the fish is going to get big, it actually will. Overstocking any tank will cause poor water quality and kill fish, the bio-overload will end up crashing the tank with a vartiy of illness and isnt fun. So never overstock your tank.
Live plants- live plants are great for fish tanks, they help add oxygen and help clean the water. They provide cover and a good look, not all live plants require a co2 system or fancy lighting. Try looking into anabuis, which is alittle extra cash but very hardy. they are hard leaf plant which makes it so that fish dont eat them. i still have some from 6 years ago.
Again feeding is ok, but you never want to over feed them which will lead to poor water quality.
— The sword tail is staying by the heater as it is nerous, im guessing that you just set up the tank so it is normal for him to be nerious.
