Changing the water in Aquarium

When we see the dirty water in our aquarium, we would have immediately thought to remove all the water in the aquarium and replace it with a new clean water. But it really is a big mistake. When we replace the water aquarium with a new one then when we put back the fish into the aquarium there is a chance the fish could not adapt to new water conditions and fish will die. 

The proper way to replace the water in the aquarium is quite half our waste, then we fill half of it with new water to avoid extreme changes in water conditions for fish to adapt. If the water looks still dirty then wait again the next day and replace the water aquarium in half, and we repeat this step until we are sure that the water is really clean. Sometimes the fish fast enough to adapt to environmental changes, so this should be so we pay attention.

Feeding Fish

It is fun when we first put the fish into the aquarium, but there is one fatal mistake that we often do on the fish, which feed the fish directly and in excessive amounts. In a new aquarium fish are usually experiencing stress due to receive a different environment from where the fish earlier. 

Stress makes the fish lost appetite so that when we give food shortly after our new location in the aquarium becomes futile. And we are exacerbated by providing food in large quantity (of food fish that are too long in the water will turn into toxic to fish). So steps should we do when they first enter the fish into the aquarium is to let the fish adapt to the environment around a few hours (the fish will not die without food a few hours). After we saw that the fish have adapted (fish swim with the cheerful), we give food a little to see his reaction (to feed about 10 times smaller than the fish body). Fish fed only three times a day, morning, noon and night. Do not feed the fish too often because some types of fish will die if eat too much. That's my posting a while, read tips on maintaining other fish as well as some interesting info about the fish from me. Next>>>

aquarium equipment for fish

Aquarium supplies determine fish age. Some types of fish require a lot of oxygen supply (in the natural environment of fish, high levels of oxygen in water). Because it's one of the most important aquarium equipment is the air pump. This pump serves to multiply the level of oxygen dissolved in water (for a betta fish does not require oxygen pump because of its natural environment are in the swamp with minimal levels of oxygen). 

Then the other aquarium equipment is the filter. Filter function here is as a water filter for water remains clear and not dirty. In the filter there is a sponge filter that we clean once a week to be able to filter properly. Besides the two earlier fixtures, still banya other equipment that is not too important as heated aquarium, UV lamp, and so forth. But one thing I do not recommend is the aquarium decoration that uses paint that contains chemicals, because it can poison the fish. Search for natural decorations such as stones or sand, or plant life that can be placed in water. Maybe in the next post I will discuss how we create a natural aquarium that does not require cleaning, simply by adding water aquarium when the water began to decrease due to evaporation, so the fish treatment become easier.
