Setting up a fresh water fish tank is harder than you think…
because you must set your tank up two or three days before
you get your fish. I almost made this mistake so listen carefully. You will
need an un-cracked tank, a heater, a filter, enough rocks to cover the tank’s bottom,
a floating thermometer, live plants, a center piece large rock/log or anything suitable
for you, food, healthy bacteria for water, and a fish tank light to go on it.
Once you set up your tank and get it working, wait two to
three days as I said, but don’t use the meds until you get your fish in the
tank. This is said because you need the waste and algae for the bacteria to
work.
Now it’s time for the fish!
When you get your fish, you want a bottom
feeder, a middle feeder, and a surface feeder. I chose mollies, guppies, tetras, and a
gourami. You have to wait a month before
getting the pleco, a bottom feeder. The next
fish you need are your show fish to make the tank stand out. Fancy guppies are very pretty and unique. The
fish you select cannot be aggressive otherwise they will harm your other fish. Examples are Oscars and Cichlids.
Wow!! You're an expert! Make sure you send this to Jacob. Love, Granny
ReplyDeleteIn his dreams, Bates (or is it Baits?) wishes- ahem, wished- he lived at your house. Unfortunately he has since fallen victim to Mr. Sam's murderous inclinations. Pets arouse the most violent fantasies in that man. He needs to spend more time with you! Of course don't let him get too close to your fish.
