Aer water changes and addion
of new sh
 Fill the aquarium with water to within
one inch of the top of the tank. Do
not overll since spillage may occur.
 Add Stress Coat packet to your
aquarium. Stress Coat makes tap
water safe; removes chlorine, chlora-
mines and ammonia from tap water
and has been proven to reduce sh
stress by 40%.
Paence is important when establishing
your new aquarium. Begin by talking to an
aquac professional about which sh are
best suited for your aquarium and are com-
pable with each other, and how many
would be appropriate for your aquarium.
Inform them that you have just set up a new
aquarium so they can recommend hardy
sh. Be sure that the sh are eang and
acng normally. Check for ragged ns that
can be caused by harmful bacteria or white
spots caused by parasites. Always choose
healthy looking sh.
Do not add too many sh at once. Choose a
couple and then wait two weeks before
adding more. (Oponal) Add Quick Start to
allow immediate addion of sh. Quick
Start prevents harmful ammonia and nitrite
from building up from sh waste in a new
aquarium, oen resulng in sh loss.
 Float the bag with your sh on the
surface of the aquarium for 15 minutes.
 Open the bag containing your new sh,
taking care that the bag does not
collapse, and add a lile aquarium water
every two minutes directly to bag.
 Connue this process for 10 minutes,
allowing the bag to ll with water.
 Take bag with sh to sink and gently
scoop sh out with a net or pour bag of
water into net. Now gently place sh
into aquarium. Do not add water from
sh bag in order to prevent introducon
of possible disease or parasites from
store water.
 (Oponal) If you are adding a submersi-
ble heater, install it now.
 Read and follow the heater’s instrucons.
 Check with your retailer for recommend-
ed heater size and sengs.
 Adjust heater sengs as directed.
Heater not included, must be
purchased separately
8. Oponal Heater
 Perform a 25% water change monthly
(more frequently if necessary), use a
vacuum gravel siphon to thoroughly
remove any uneaten food and waste
buildup.
 Use Stress Coat when adding or
changing water and adding sh.
 Test pH, ammonia and nitrite weekly
using API 5 in 1 Aquarium Test Strips.
Performing these tests will allow you
to monitor the water quality of your
aquarium. If readings are not in the
preferred range, perform a paral
water change.
 Conrm water in aquarium
has reached room temper-
ature, recommended 70
degrees to 78 degrees.
