Maintaining a healthy environment for your fish is essential. You should develop a routine as I have outlined in Fish Tank Maintenance Schedule. Once you have a good schedule, keeping your fish happy and healthy will be easy.
I like to think of my fish tank as a flowing river. Consider this, a river is a self-sustaining ecosystem. What makes up the basic health of a river? You have flow, which promotes aeration and filtration. You have a cycle of light and dark, which encourages growth and sustains life. And you have fish, the life of the river.
Your fish tank is comprised of the same components of a river. Yet you are in charge of keeping things going instead of nature.
Your filter system circulation will provide some aeration and flow. You should consider a power head for providing a current.
You can add additional aeration with an air pump, or bubbler as some like to call them.
To keep your fish tank healthy you must provide your fish a cycle of light and dark. Remember your household and natural lighting will do some of this for you. But this is not enough, you must also have an aquarium light. You should not keep your aquarium light on at all times. Think like nature and provide your fish with a similar light cycle.
