Tropical Fish Tank and Aquarium Information

Go Back   Fish Lore Tropical Fish and Aquarium Forum > Freshwater Aquarium Fish Forum > Freshwater Beginners

Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

I'm really glad I read this; I have not vacuumed under the decorations in my tank yet (but it's only a few months old). I'd planned on cleaning tomorrow, so I'm glad I got to this first!

Isn't this a great thread?

Usually we don't like to bump up older threads, but this is a good one that newer members can benefit from.

Even though I'm very new here I have a tip. Learned first hand very recently... When you install the heater wait for about 20 minutes or so before turning it on.

test the pH in the water from the tap before setting up tanks it will let you know what types of fish you can safely keep. It is fairly easy to raise ph but can be difficult to lower it.

Probably most important tip for beginners! ALWAYS USE DE-CHLORINATOR!
