TIPS FOR KEEPING HEALTHY FISH IN HEALTHY TANK (AQUARIUM):
1. Water changes: Water of the tank to be changed every month – 25% each weak is a reasonable solution. The water changes helps to remove contaminants and waste byproducts from the aquarium and replace them with fresh clean water.
2. Consistent Temperature: The body and water temperature varies from fish to fish. You'll have to ask for the right temp for your fish and make sure that all your fish can live at the same temp range. You must not add too cold or too warm water while changing the water.
3. Avoid too many chemicals or products: Chemicals are not very helpful for a healthy tank. The only chemicals that go into my tanks are tap water, water conditioner to remove chlorine, charcoal in the filters and aquarium salt (if needed). There are natural things available like rocks, plants etc., which would enable fish to enough oxygen from them avoid too much ups and downs.
4. Use a quarantine tank: This is really important. There is a high risk of disease getting in to your old collection of fish when you buy and put the new ones with them, so even the best pet stores fish can get disease so always keep the newly bought fish at a quarantine tank for at least 3 weeks. This goes for other purchases too such as rocks, plants and anything else you introduce to you tank.
5. Compatible fish: Try to buy compatible fish choosing a fish not just for its beauty but for its ability to live with the other fish that you have. It is important to enable the fish to live peacefully if you have one aggressive fish that is attacking another, know that stress leads to disease and attacks can end up in dead fish. Create hiding places for the fish that needs and if you have no choice try trading the aggressive fish for a more suitable one.
