One of the most important things to keep an eye on in any aquarium is their water parameters. In order for fish to thrive, they must be in parameters as close to their natural environment as possible. Poor water parameters, for any fish, can lead to fish being stressed, becoming ill or even fish loss. Regularly testing your water helps ensure you are informed of any increased levels of harmful chemicals, allowing you to take proper actions before fish become ill. With poor water parameters being one of the leading causes of fish loss. We recommend following this simple system for testing your aquariums water parameters . Aquariums that are 0-6 weeks old should be tested once every other day. Aquariums that are 6+ weeks old should be tested once every week. *Always test when an ailing or deceased fish is present*
Ammonia is one of the most toxic water parameters in any aquarium. Its the most crucial parameter to test for, especially when your setting up a new aquarium. Ammonia is the most common reason for fish loss to occur within the first few weeks of setting up a new tank. Most frequent signs of high ammonia in your aquarium is your fish will have a loss of appetite, stay at the bottom of the tank, gasping for air at the surface, as well as inflamed gills. Most common reason high ammonia occurs is due to overfeeding, overstock, insufficient filtration, or the tap water used in the tank wasnt properly treated.
