A Guide On Using Fish Cleaning Supplies


When using fish cleaning supplies it is important to follow the correct procedure so you do not cause any harm or stress to the fish.

Preparation: The night before fill some buckets with water and add 'Tap Safe' to it. This will make the water safe for the fish and it also allows the water to reach room temperature.

Firstly remove all ornaments from the fish tank. If you are partially changing the water you can leave the fish in. If you are doing a total clean siphon some of the tank water into a bucket and place the fish in that.

Use the siphon to remove a good deal of the water. Pour the water you prepared last night into the tank. Since it should now be a similar temperature to the room the fish will experience less stress.

Finally place the fish back in the tank.
