Feeding your Fish
Once your fish has been introduced
to the tank, avoid feeding it for 48
hours. Thereafter, it is essential that you
DO NOT OVERFEED YOUR FISH.
The standard rule of thumb is to feed
them only as much as they can completely
consume in two minutes.
Fluval has a range of complete, balanced
fish foods specially prepared using high
quality ingredients including salmon
oil, garlic and earthworm meal, which is
irresistible to all fish. Fluval caters to the
needs of different species. All recipes are
rich in omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, a complete
mix of stabilized vitamins and wheat
germ, designed to help fight stress and
increase fertility. A source of prebiotics
is also included to help and support the
immune system, contributing to their
long term well-being. Natural color
enhancers are used throughout to target
specific common shades, such as red and
yellow to bring out the natural colors of
fish.
INSTRUCTIONS
EN
Keep spare replacement media for your Fluval EDGE Power Filter.
All these media help to create a healthy, clean and beautiful environment.
IMPORTANT: Do not rinse your media with tap water. Rinse them in a bowl with
water taken from your aquarium. This way, you will not wash away the beneficial
bacteria that have established, and your tank’s biological balance will not have to
start over from scratch. You can rinse your filter (minus the media) with tap water
to clean off any sludge or deposits. Same applies to any other elements that need
to be cleaned in your aquarium.
If there is any build-up that you want to remove from the walls of your aquarium, use an algae
magnet (sold separately).
