Keeping the water refreshed
Cleaning
Fish should be fed a good quality diet daily. During the first few
days of being in the aquarium they may not eat. During this time
give them a small amount of Hikari Goldfish Staple Food enclosed.
If uneaten after a few minutes remove the food using the net. If it
is left in the water it will cause water quality problems. After the
first few days follow the feeding instructions on the pack of food.
Always remove any uneaten food after a few minutes.
We recommend that you feed pellet foods as it is easy to feed the
correct amount.
Watching your fish allows you to spot any signs or symptoms of injury or disease which can then be treated.
To keep the water refreshed carry out a partial water change once a week. To do this replace 20% of
the water in the aquarium with tap water which has been treated with Aqua Health, to remove harmful
chlorine and chloramines. Remember to add Aqua+ also before adding the new water to the aquarium.
Make sure the temperature of the new water is the same as the water in the aquarium before adding it.
Removing water from the aquarium can be done
easily with a Superfish Aqua Siphon, simply follow the
instructions supplied.
When carrying out water changes this is also a good time to clean. Superfish Aqua Tools make cleaning gravel,
glass and ornaments easy. Always take care to use a perfectly clean bucket and no soap or detergents.
Filter maintenance
Check your filter regularly to ensure that it is working correctly. The filter should be cleaned once a week
to keep it running effectively. Remove the cartridge from the filter and clean it in some water taken from
your aquarium (NOT tap water). Remember to always check the instructions on the packaging.
Monitor water quality
To ensure that the water in your aquarium is healthy test it
regularly for ammonia and nitrite as well as the pH level. If there
are any problems carry out a 50% water change until the water
becomes stable again. Remember to treat the water with Aqua
Health and Aqua+ before adding it to your aquarium.
