After adding Tetra AquaSafe®, when can I add the
fish?
Tetra AquaSafe® will instantly remove the chlorine from the water. You may
add your fish as soon as you put in the Tetra AquaSafe®.
When can I add
fish to my new aquarium?
When you first set up your aquarium, it is recommended you run your filter,
heater, and air pumps for 24 – 48 hours before adding your fish. This will
allow the heater to stabilize the temperature and ensure that all equipment
is working properly. After this 24-48 hour period, you can immediately add
fish once you have added Tetra AquaSafe® to the water. When you do add your
fish, float them in a plastic container for 20-30 minutes. This will allow
the water temperature in the bag to be the same as the water temperature in
your aquarium. After 3-4 weeks, you can begin introducing new fish at a rate
of 1-2 fish per week. Just keep in mind that you should have 1 gallon of
water per 1 inch of (mature) fish. Have 3 gallons of water per 1 inch of
goldfish.
What types of
fish should I add to my aquarium?
There are a variety of fish you can add to your aquarium. As a rule,
tropical fish and goldfish should not be mixed. Also keep in mind the size a
fish will reach as it matures. As fish grow, they may outgrow your tank.The
type of fish to choose will depend on the size of your aquarium and the
temperament of the fish. There are community, semi-aggressive, and
aggressive fish. If you mix in an aggressive fish with a community fish, it
could mean the death of your new fish. Your local pet store can help you
select the right fish.
