Setting up your tank.
Your fish need a tank to live in. A tank that
measures 90 by 38 by 30cm will have room for five to
twenty small
tropical fish. Place your tank out of bright sunlight. You need to fill the tank with water but you must mix tap water
with special liquids first. Put gravel and stones in the bottom
to make it interesting for your fish. You must clean the gravel
before you put it in your tank. Then put your
filter in making sure that you have washed the foam first.After
you have put your filter in you need to put a source of aeration
so you need to buy a pump and an air stone put them with some
special wire and join them all together. When you have put it
together put the air stone in the gravel and put the pump on the
side switch it on and you will have your aeration.Then put your
heater in and switch it on then just get some fish
Putting in plants
It is a good idea to put some
water plants into your tank , dig small holes in the gravel and
push the plants in. There are lots of different types of water
plants to choose from. Plants are very useful because they make
oxygen for your fish to breathe. Your fish will also like to
swim and hide among there leaves.
