Buying fish
Most people start by choosing the fish tank, before they choose the species of the fish, as a fish tank is an important part of the decoration of a home. Are you interested in a beautiful fish tank filled with many different colourful fish, or are you more interested in watching the behaviour of single species? Do you want a space consuming fish tank as part of the living room, or do you want a smaller one for the children’s room?
Fish and plants have different requirements for tank conditions, including supply of oxygen, light, heating, size etc., which means that to begin with, you should choose the fish tank and then decide which fish go well with this.
Direct into the fish tank
It is important that you prepare the fish tank before you bring the fish home.
The most important thing is that the water has the right temperature for the fish, and that the oxygen supply has been started.
It is a good idea to install the fish in the water with the water they came in, so that you only have to open the bag with the fish and carefully pour the contents into the fish tank.
Furthermore, you should have bought the fish food beforehand, which suits your fish species. your preparations will help your new fish to an optimal life and well-being.
