As a keen tropical fish enthusiast maintaining a clean

environment for my fish to live has always been a worry, with a

hectic lifestyle and three aquariums to maintain I am always

worried about how clean and healthy the water is for my beloved

I have tried many methods, read many books but from observing

the condition of my tanks I have come to learn that the best

method of keeping a clean and safe environment is to leave them

alone.

Yes you may find that an odd statement, most of the books you

read will tell you that not only is the water change the most

I’m writing this on my laptop in a Cosi café in Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. The .....

important part of fish keeping, but that a tank should have a

water change of 30 percent of the water every 2 weeks or 50

percent once a month, in fact I have found this to be extremely

harmful to the fish and indeed found fish stock dwindling

rapidly with this method.

Having spent so much of my time trying to get the right

conditions for my fish and having to see my fish die off after

water changes, I decided to take a drastic approach. The fish

were completely healthy before any water change, they seemed

happy and I had them being hand fed. I always made sure the

and books to the letter, so why were my fish stocks failing?

Because the water changes were upsetting the environment the

fish live in, the balance of the water is changed and the fish

get nervous, defensive and worried.

I decided to leave the tanks for a longer period before

completing a water change, and the fish lived happily in their

environment, but as soon as the next water change came along,

some of the fish started weakening then dying. I then tried

changes, and lo and behold the fish are happy and breeding as if

they were in the wild.

I have found that the most important aspect of the aquarium set

up is the filtration system used. The better the filtration, the

better the water quality and the happier the fish are.

First off it is important to buy the biggest tank you can

afford, the bigger the tank the more room the fish have to swim

around, the more diluted toxins are, the more exciting and

varied a tank can be presented (with decorations and planting)

and the happier the fish.

When you have bought the desired size tank have a look around

for a good filtration system, I find that chemical filters with

a built in aeration system are the best and easiest to manage,

opt for one that is slightly above what is needed for the tank

and once in operation keep a careful eye to ensure it is working

properly. When the aeration system starts to show signs of

stopping it is time for a filter change.

Over time you will see that the water levels in the tank drop

slightly, simply top up the tank ensuring that you carefully

balance the PH levels in accordance with the needs of the fish

You now have an environment that is both good for the fish you

keep and takes up much less of your time. The fish are able to

live pretty much undisturbed and can act in a more natural way,

and you can enjoy watching them without the worry of having to

complete water changes.
