Add the pump and filter, pebbles or gravel, plants, decorations, water and water conditioner.

Finally, add fishes to your tank.

Maintain your fish tank

- Feed your fishes two times on a daily basis.

- Change water and clean the filter every week. Only change 2/3 of water at a time.

- Siphon out debris from the bottom of the tank. Stir the gravel with the end of the siphon so that it draws up anything that is down inside the rocks.

- Make sure to match the temperature of water you add to your existing tank water as closely as possible.

- Apply water conditioner every time you add new water or fish.
