Cleaning your Tropical %KEYWORDCAP
The most important thing in fish care is keeping the fish tank clean and clear. If your fish tank is not cleaned on a regular basis it can be a thriving ground of many bacteria and can be dangerous for your fish. Fish get easily get used to the conditions of the water they live in. If all the water is changed at once then might get the shock of an extra clean environment which can be really fatal.
Making sure the tank is not over crowded can help to keep the tank clean. While cleaning the aquarium no sort of soap or detergent should be used. The amount of water removed should be replaced with dechlorinated water of the same temperature as the water in the tank.

It is also a good idea to vacuum the gravel about once a week to remove food and other debris from the bed of the tropical fish tank. It is required to regularly test the ammonia, nitrate and pH levels of the water. It is also a good idea to keep a canopy or a hood over the tank at all times.
Another very important aspect of tropical fish tank care is not letting your fish get stressed. If the level of stress in your fish increases then its ability to heal also falls. The main causes of stress in fish are unsuitable water, lack of physical space, wrong mixing of species, oxygen deficiency, poor nutrition, and sudden changes.
Keep a good watch on each and every fish in your freshwater fish tank. Look out for signs of sickness like cloudy eyes and slimy looking bodies. If one fish is identified to be having some kind of a disease make fast moves to save the other fish from contracting the same.
