How to Care for Your Fish

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Chris from Aquatic Central here is San Francisco and on the web at aquatic-central.com. And today I'd like to tell you how to take care of your fish. Maintaining good water quality is generally achieved by sufficient water changes. And water changes sufficient to match that of your feeding regiment. Feeding regiments generally consist once daily feeding of small portions so that whatever food you place into the aquarium will be gone in at least 30 seconds. Anything besides that will be excess. General water changes regiment will be approximately 25% per month or 2 to 3 weeks depending on how big are your fish and how often do you feed. Keeping a fish minimally stressed is usually achieved by not adding any buffers or chemicals in large portions. So you always make small adjustments to per say temperature or PH. Do check your water parameters regularly, approximately once per month for the first 3 to 4 months and then providing that you do everything you do very consistently, and always the same. For example you, you do a water change from the same source every single time. Your fish will get accustomed to that and they will thrive. Be sure to meet the specific needs of your fish. Do research that to find out what those needs are. And this is how you can properly care for a fish. Again my name is Chris from Aquatic Central here in San Francisco.
