Tropical Fish – Tropical Fish Secrets

Purchasing a new fish tank is exciting and fun. If you starting up and bringing home a fish for the kids, or even for your own aquiarium, be sure to place your fish in it’s new home pronto.  Don’t delay it’s imparative to get your fish home or it may overheat to room temp and die.  Make sure your aquarium is completely set up and ready to go before you place your fish in it’s new home.  It’s not a good idea to plop your fish into the aquarium because it needs time to adjust to the temperture of the water.  So I recommend placing the bag from the pet store into the aquarium and let it float so the fish can slowly adjust to the temperture of the water.  This should take about 10-15 minutes.  When you think it’s good to go then you can take the fish out of the pet shop bag and let it swim around in its new acquarium.  Don’t forget to wash your hands when your finished.
