We think there’s three big secrets for successful fishkeeping:-
1. Don’t focus on keeping fish, focus on keeping the water right. The fish will thrive with good water.
2. Research your fish. You can never know too much, and you’ll never know anywhere near all that’s to be known about any species. Be interested in every species you keep.
3. Fish can be left for days and days without food with no harm done. But over feed your fish and lots will die. Feed sparsely.
