Choosing your  fish

Chose a fish with bright, clear eyes and shiny skin .It should not be slow- moving ,or have damaged fins and , white spots and try and not pick a fish in a tank with dead fish in.

Cleaning the tank.

It is important to look after your tank to keep your fish healthy. Every day, check that the water is clean and your fish are swimming about. Your fish will quickly become ill in a dirty tank. Every two weeks, change part of the water in the tank with a siphon that sucks up all the debris. Take about a tenth of the water off. Clean the tank thoroughly. Cut back any plants that have grown too tall or bushy, and clean off any green slime off the inside of the glass with a scraper.
