You have to have to keep fish in  fish tanks in the home. They only require one type of fish to live in a small tank, so if there is only one, it needs to be a largish one. but if you keep many, you will need a large tank. A few fish live in cold water, therefore their aquarium should be connected to a water supply with an easily controllable flow so that they don't have to be kept out of water in order to stay cool. Others have to have to have warm water in order to survive, so they have a piece of equipment that gets the water up to The quantity of water a fish needs depends on the type of fish, and some will prefer brackish water.

Please rinse the fish with cold water, and avoid using detergents. Keep your tank in a location with low or no noise, out of direct sunlight and away from the heaters. Algae thrives on sunlight.

Let the bag sit for 20 minutes, then slowly add in aquarium water. Thirty minutes after the fish is put in the bag, use a net to transfer them to the tank.

Avoid tipping the water into the aquarium, as this will change the pH. It is not advisable to turn the lights on for the fish for about a week after they have settled in and are healthy in the aquarium.
