Tips for Keeping Fish Happy in Aquarium

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.
