Advice

Do not damage the fins or skin during transport or unpacking of the fish.
Do not overfill the tank (test the water regularly and partially refresh when necessary).
aclimatiseer de vis zo rustig mogelijk over naar de nieuwe waterwaardes. Wees voorzichtig voor temperatuur schokken.
Ensure there is enough oxygen in the water; use an additional (air) pump when fish are swimming too much at the water surface.
Choose more than one type of food to provide a more complete diet.
Do not feed the fish on the day of arrival. Let them acclimate to their new environment.
Do not overfeed your fish. All food given should be consumed within a few minutes after feeding.
Ensure that food, fish waste, and external debris do not sink to the bottom to prevent fermentation and pollution of the water.
Carefully observe the behavior of your fish; it tells you a lot about their overall health.
Ask for information in the store, read a good book on how to maintain fish, or join an aquarium club (www.bbat.be).
Be critical of self-proclaimed specialists online or on internet forums.
Good quality products (aquarium, pump, (LED) light, filter, ...) save you a lot of trouble after the sale.
