Before putting fish into the tank, you need to raise the water first. After filling the fish tank with water, don't rush to buy fish. Start the water pump and run it for three to five days. Let the water in the fish tank be fully alive before you consider putting fish in it. Change the water regularly to keep the water clean and transparent. The water can be changed once a week, and it is recommended that the amount of water changed each time be controlled within one-fifth of the total water volume. When changing the water, you can use tap water that has been exposed to sunlight to eliminate the chlorine in it. At the same time, you need to adjust the pH and temperature of the water to suit different types of tropical ornamental fish. In order to keep the water clean, a good filtration system needs to be established. You can put white sponge and ceramic ring or biochemical sponge into the filter tank. White sponges are used to filter larger impurities in the water, and ceramic rings or biochemical sponges are used to cultivate nitrifying bacteria, which can purify water quality.
