general fish care

Caring for fish involves providing a clean, properly sized tank with stable water conditions. Keep the water temperature appropriate for the species, usually between 75-80°F, and perform regular partial water changes to maintain water quality. Use a good filtration system to remove waste and toxins. Test water parameters like pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate regularly. Feed fish a balanced diet suitable for their species, avoiding overfeeding. Maintain appropriate lighting and avoid sudden changes in their environment. Regularly observe your fish for health issues, and quarantine new arrivals before adding them to the main tank.
