Unleash the Magic of Sea, Captured in your Home Aquarium

A 20-gallon tank is often recommended for beginners as it provides enough space for a variety of fish and is easier to maintain.

Regular maintenance is crucial. Generally, a partial water change of 10-15% should be done weekly, along with cleaning the filter and removing any debris.

You’ll need a tank, filter, heater (if keeping tropical fish), thermometer, substrate, decorations, water conditioner, and fish food to start.

Hardy fish like guppies, tetras, danios, and platies are great choices for beginners as they are resilient and can tolerate varying water conditions.

Cycling is essential to establish a stable environment for fish. It involves growing beneficial bacteria in the tank to break down harmful ammonia and nitrite. This process typically takes 4-6 weeks.

Most freshwater tropical fish thrive in water temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C). However, it’s crucial to research the specific needs of the fish species you plan to keep.

Stocking levels depend on factors like tank size, filtration, and the species of fish. A general rule is to allow one inch of fish per gallon of water, but this can vary. Overstocking can lead to poor water quality and stress for the fish.

Float the bag containing the new fish in the tank for about 15-20 minutes to equalize the temperature. Then, gradually add small amounts of tank water to the bag every 10-15 minutes before releasing the fish into the tank.

Quarantine the sick fish, test water parameters, and address any issues like poor water quality or aggression. Research the symptoms to identify the illness and consider consulting with a veterinarian specializing in fish if needed.

Yes, but compatibility is key. Research the temperament, size, and water parameter requirements of each species to ensure they can coexist peacefully in the same tank.
