When it comes to buying new fish for your tank it is actually a lot more complicated than you might think and this is because there are a number of key things you must always be thinking about before you can pick the fish and take it home with you. these are just a couple of tips on actually making the new fish last longer before you even get home.

Checking Requirements

one of the things you need to think about when it comes to these fish is are they actually suitable for your tank because if they are not they will not last very long. If you are really unsure on whether or not your fish will be fine in your fluval edge or marine fish tank then make sure you speak to a member of staff at the place because they will certainly know what they are talking about, at least, they should do!

If you spot any dead fish in the tank or ill looking fish in the tank you are looking to buy from then think again. the main reason for this is because a disease could be going around the tank and could kill the fish you like, even if it looks fine at the moment.

When you are adding fish to yourtropical fish tank make sure you leave the bag in the tank with the fish still in it for a good 15 minutes and this is so the fish can get used to the temperature you have in your tank!

When it comes to adding fish add only a few at time because otherwise they will suffer the effects of something called “new tank syndrome” and this is never good and could cause many deaths in the tank you have.

if you are following some of these tips and of course some of the others then your fish will be fine!

It is your choice in the end!
