how to improve tank conditions

Post by sw10mm »

I know water changes but what else? Denitrators? Carbon or purgein? How can I make my puffers water the best?

Just follow my sig. Use Prime as dechlor & you're puffer should be very happy!

Do not over feed.

Feed appropriate foods.

Change water routinely.

Clean substrate routinely.

Run lights on timers.

Do not overstock.
