FAQs

How often should I change the water?

A 20% water change is recommended weekly to maintain water quality.

How do I clean the filter?

Rinse the filter media in used aquarium water (never tap water) every few weeks or as needed. Replace the filter cartridge according to the manufacturer's instructions.

What type of fish can I keep in this aquarium?

This aquarium is suitable for small, non-aggressive tropical fish species like tetras, platies, and small catfish.

How do I cycle the aquarium?

Add a bacterial supplement to the water and let the filter run for a few weeks. Test the water regularly for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels. The cycle is complete when ammonia and nitrite are at 0 ppm and nitrate is present.

What should I feed my fish?

Use a high-quality fish food specifically formulated for tropical fish. Feed small amounts once or twice a day, and remove any uneaten food after a few minutes.

How do I maintain the heater?

Ensure the heater is always fully submerged. Check the temperature using a thermometer and adjust the heater setting as needed. Clean the heater with a soft cloth.
