1.
Management and maintenance of the aquarium
Do not over
clean the aquarium. Remember that the aquarium is a living medium, where each
bacterium is part of the ecosystem and is necessary for the life of other
species. Make partial changes of water every 3-4 weeks or when the tests
indicate it. Do not use products to clean the gravel, because they are lodged
there great amount of the bacteria that eliminate the nitrogen. Simply remove
some of the water from the bottom by a siphon and replace with a clean,
chlorine-free one and the fish
tank thermometer is significant too.
The
aquarium takes time until all the fish that inhabit it are balanced. You should
not obsess over your care, as you will only stress the fish. All maintenance
tasks have an adequate frequency and if you are constantly replacing the
embellishments, gravel or filters, you will not allow the ecosystem to thrive.
Just relax and watch, you will get to know the personality of each fish and you
will be able to realize if one is sick.
2. The
health of fish
The most
important thing in the aquarium is to maintain the health of the fish. When you
detect a problem the first thing to check is if the water is in perfect
condition. Very many times this is the origin of the problem and does not need
to medicate, only to correct some detail or to make some partial change of
water with cheap
aquarium decorations.
In case of
illness, avoid using too many medicines, since they can damage the health of
your fish. Respect the doses and application frequencies indicated by the
manufacturer. Do not mix and consult an expert before adding anything in the
water. Unless there is a declared infectious disease, it is often preferable to
create a quiet environment with excellent water quality for the fish to recover
naturally.
