Learning taking care of fish

This is my first time taking care of a fish and this is what i learned...

For new fished

• If you have a new fish and a new aquarium, don't straight away put it in the water... you need to let the water stay's for 2-3 days for the bacteria to come because the bacteria is essential for the health of the fish.
• If you can't wait to have your new fish... Try to use the water galon refill if available in your country or use Decholynator .

General Knowledge

• Fish only need lights 12 hours a day, so if you sleep... you should turn off the light.
