Top 10 best ways to keep your aquarium happy.

Give everything that goes into the tank a good rinse in normal tap water, beforehand.
To avoid sick fish, never use soaps or chemicals to clean anything.
Keep the water safe for your scaly sidekicks by using a water ager or conditioner, every time you add tap water.
Add to your fish family slowly – don’t add more than a couple of fish each week, when starting out. (This depends on your tank size too, of course.)
Allow a fortnight for your tank to stabilize before you add fish. By doing your tank right, you’ll save time and money, bringing people and pets together.
Remember, feed your fish small amounts, their tummies are tiny
Give your tank a partial water change every two weeks to maintain high-quality H2O: That’s about 20 percent, or one bucket for every 50L.
Don’t forget to use water ager to neutralise chemicals when doing water change
Ask our friendly staff if you have any questions swimming around in your head.
Thou shalt love fish.

Water Testing

Regular water checks are essential to the health of your aquarium and allow you to catch problems early and save your fish from any suffering. The fish gurus at The Pet Place can test your tank water in-store, no need to make an appointment. Simply scoop some water from your aquarium into a clean, air tight container and bring in store.
