Have you read "How To Setup a Fish Tank | Aquarium" ? If not, STOP! Do not place your Fish in the Tank or Aquarium with Tap water. Your Fish will become stressed, causing Damage to the Natural Protective Mucous that covers their body, leaving them vulnerable to disease & Fatality.
Whats the NEXT step? The next step, after having prepared & treated the water is to purchase Fish.
Two tips when Purchasing Fish:
- Buy Fish in relation to your Tank size, Fish grow.
- Do not mix Aggressive fish with calm fish.
Now that we have our Fish at home let's begin the steps on How-to add Fish to an Aquarium.
STEP 1: Place the Bag into the Tank & leave it for 10 - 15 minutes to equalize the water temperature.

STEP 2: Use a Fish Net to remove the Fish & place them into the Tank. I do not recommend pouring the Water & Fish into the Tank.
STEP 3: Use Nutrafin Cycle Biological Filter Supplement to provide a temporary protective coating of calming herbal extracts to help the fish survive the transfer into the new Tank.

STEP 4: Observe the Temperature and Fish for the next 72 hours. Educate yourself on the visible signs an unhealthy Fish show.
Common Fish Diseases:
- White Spot (Ich)
- Tailrot | Finrot
- Velvet Disease
- Skin | Gill Flukes
- Pox
- Fungus
- Mouth Fungus
- Eye Infections
- Dropsy
STEP 5: Keep the water healthy for your Fish. Initially, once the friendly bacteria in the new Tank are established, levels of Ammonia & Nitrate will be kept under control NATURALLY, unless something occurs to dramatically reducing bacteria levels.
WARNING:
- Excessive Cleaning, administering too much medication will destroy friendly bacteria and lead to an imbalance environment for the Fish, causing them to become stressed.
- Within the Initial 30 days, do a partial change of water every 8-10 days, adding Nutrafin Cycle & Aqua Plus to maintain the growth of friendly bacteria.
- NEVER USE SOAP TO CLEAN FISH COMPONENTS, ACCESSORIES & PRODUCT.
