For tropical fish you need to use an aquarium heater. A suitable
heater is included with the Tropical Kits place the heater in a
corner of the tank behind some plants.
First carefully read the heater manual before usage!
After filling the aquarium and with every water change always
add water conditioner to remove toxic substances and protect
your fish. Add bacterial culture as well to help your biological
filter to start and maintain water quality.
Test aquarium water and adjust the water parameters as
necessary before buying your fish and plants. You can also ask
your dealer to do this. After placing fish in the aquarium, test the
water every 2 days for 2 weeks and adjust any incorrect water
parameters.
Afterwards test the water quality once a week!
Feeding is an important thing to keep you fish healthy, however
when you feed too much your water quality will get bad and your
fish get sick or die, feed once a day as little as the fish will eat in 5
minutes.
Change 20% of the aquarium water weekly while cleaning the
gravel and walls of the aquarium, make sure the fresh water is of
the same temperature as the water in your aquarium!
Add water preparation and live bacteria with every water change.

Before putting any fish in the aquarium, allow it to run for at least
two days (a full week is better) and ensure that the temperature is
correct (check the water temperature with an aquarium
thermometer). Make sure that whenever you add fresh water it is
of the correct temperature, big temperature changes will make
your fish ill.
