How to Keep Your Fish From Getting Stressed

Video Transcript

"Watching fish greatly reduces stress and if we want our stress reduced, we need to make sure that our fish are stress free as well. Some of the things that stress fish out is water temperature, drastic changes in temperature, poor water quality. If we're not maintaining our tank on a regular basis doing a water change 25 percent once a month with a gravel siphon, that can increase stress. And the other thing that can cause fish stress are sometimes other fish that are more aggressive than they are. So it's real important that we find fish that are compatible. One thing you can do to reduce stress in an aquarium is use aquarium salt. Make sure you follow the directions. It does raise the electrolytes in the tank and it helps reduce stress and cut down on disease. You're just going to follow your directions and use it accordingly. One thing to remember too, is with your aquarium salt, is that if you have evaporation and you're going to be adding new water into that tank, the salt is still in there. If you add new water then you'll want to do the salt accordingly from there. Feed your fish on a regular basis, check your tank, maintain your tank, do your water change, keep temperature and you're going to have stress free fish. My name is Michael and we're going to make our fish stress free so that we can be stress free watching them. Enjoy your tank."
