Common mistakes

• An insufficient amount of water: Even if you’re installing a mini-aquarium for a single fish, be sure to have at least a gallon of water in the tank.
• Chlorinated water: When placing tap water into a freshwater aquarium, be sure to use a de-chlorinator to remove the chlorine. It’s important to do this during the initial setup and all of the periodic water changes thereafter.
• Aquarium placement: On average, you want your water temperature to be between 73 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to keep your home aquarium a safe distance from windows, as sunlight can cause green algae to form in the tank.
• Inadequate filtration: Generally speaking, you want your aquarium filter to clean the tank at least three times every hour. It never hurts to over-filter, so when in doubt, opt for an oversized filtration device.
• Failure to test the water: Fish tanks’ nitrogen cycles can be rather confusing. As an aquarist, it’s imperative to test the pH, ammonia and nitrogen levels often, especially during the initial setup period. Make sure that all of your levels have been stable for a few days before you add your fish into the tank.
• Too many fish: Adding too many fish during the initial stage of home aquarium creation is one of the most common mistakes. By only adding two or three fish at first, you can allow your fish to acclimate to their new surroundings. After the nitrogen cycle has been established, then you can add more fish incrementally. Always be sure to keep your tank size in mind when adding fish.
• Fish compatibility: Be sure to choose peaceful fish that require similar water conditions. Always consult a knowledgeable aquarist to ensure that all the fish in your tank are compatible.
• Overfeeding: If you have young children, you may have to hide those fish food containers. Although fish do quite well with one feeding session per day, almost all fish can go a few days without being fed. To keep waste levels low, you shouldn’t feed your fish at all when the tank’s nitrate or ammonia levels are high. And when in doubt, underfeed your fish.
• Choosing the wrong fish: While shopping around for fish, be sure to avoid fish with wounds, clipped fins, sunken stomachs and cloudy eyes, as these can all be signs of disease.
