Fish tanks FAQs

Is a pet store employee the best resource for information on keeping fish?
Not usually – a pet store employee may or may not be an avid fish expert. Without specific experience in keeping fish, they will only be saying whatever they have been instructed to say by their boss.

What kind of unusual shapes are available for fish tanks?
There are many unusual shapes available. You may choose from round tanks, square tanks or hexagonal, pentagonal, octagonal and even odder shapes. You may also opt for tanks that fit into corners.

What are the most important fish supplies to get when just beginning to set up an aquarium?
It’s important to start out with a healthy environment. First, buy the tank, filters, pumps, lights, thermometers and water testing equipment. It is important to purchase the right sized equipment for the size and shape of tank, so take that into consideration when buying fish tank supplies. Remember that decorative elements can always be added later. Get your tank set up, make sure it is healthy and then acclimate your fish to the water for the appropriate length of time before adding them to the tank.
