Before adding fish to your aquarium, you must check that your
aquarium has cycled fully. This could take up to 3-4 weeks.
You can test this either by purchasing a test kit, or asking if your
local aquatics store can do this for you (many stores offer this
service).
Remember to allow a minimum of 3 litres of water for every 1cm
of fish, including the tail (consult with your fish dealer for aquarium
requirements when purchasing).
Float the fish in their bag inside the aquarium – add a little water
from aquarium to the bag and acclimatise for 15 minutes this will
regulate the water temperature in the bag and reduce the risk of
stressing your inhabitants.
Using a net, carefully remove the fish from the bag and place in
your aquarium. It is not recommended to pour the water from the
bag into your aquarium.
Once all gravel, décor and inhabitants have been added, top up
the aquarium with water to the bottom of the aquarium rim.

FEEDING YOUR FISH
Once your fish have been introduced to the tank, avoid feeding
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.
MAINTENANCE
Ensure that all equipment is disconnected from the mains power
supply prior to performing cleaning and maintenance on the aquarium
and its parts.
We recommend that a regular cleaning and maintenance schedule is
followed to ensure responsible fishkeeping.
Do not use equipment that has come in contact with soap.
