Introduction of Fish
Note: This is only a guide! You should seek
professional advice from your aquarium
specialist at the time of purchase.
DO NOT ADD ALL FISH AT ONCE!
Build stock levels slowly over time. Allow at
least one week between additions of fish. Add a
filter supplement to help the biological system
cope with the additional waste.
Do not over crowd. Remember all fish will grow,
so allow them adequate space.

Feed your fish as per instructions on your
fish food container.

Use Aqua One quality pH test kit, available from
your local Aqua One Dealer. pH is a measure of
how acidic or alkaline the water is. It is measured
on a scale of 0-14 in which 7 is neutral, less than
7 is acidic and more than 7 is alkaline.
Some species require specific pH levels please
seek advice from your aquarium specialist.
