Did you ever know that fish have relations just like other animals?. It is important to reseach what kind of fish go well together. There are semi-agressive, aggressive, and community fish.
Never, mix angel fish with tiger barbs.One time someone purchased tiger barbs, went home and added them to their tank of angels and all they did was nip their fins. Not a good combination. So don't always listen to what people say or those who deal in an assortment of pets, they may not know what they are talking about. Get expert help and advise from Aquaculturekenya. |

Tank Maintenance
|
| |
It is important to clean your tank at least once a month. I try to maintain a 3-4 week cleaning schedule. NEVER, EVER use any type of chemicals in a fish tank that are not made for aquarium keeping and NEVER, EVER use any type of soap to clean your fish equipment. You can also use a little scrubber brush (you can find these at our store) and just water and clean the filters and equipment. It will remove the algae and keep your tank looking clear and nice. As well, rinse and scrub the fish gunk off of the lids and wipe off the top of the aquarium with a wet paper towel. |
