HOW TO SET UP AN AQUARIUM? STEP 8 ADDING THE FISH

8th STEP : ADDING THE FISH
Now the aquarium water is ready to start developing the helpful bacteria. These bacteria will establish themselves in both the gravel as well as in the filter. The process can be accelerated by adding sera nitrivec. Sera nitrivec is a special mixture of helpful bacteria. These bacteris ensure that a fully functioning nitrogen cycle develops in a short period of time. By doing this you can add fish as quickly as the next day. The fish are taken home from the store in a warm package. The fish bag should be opened and allowed to float in the water for 20 minutes. Every few minutes some of the aquarium water should be added to the bag. This will allow the water parameters to adjust slowly. After an additional 20 minutes the fish can be caught by a net and placed in the aquarium. The remaining water in the bag should be descarded and not dumped in the aquarium. Now the water is treated with sera nitrivec for 10 sraight days. This will allow the filter to become fully active and effectively break down the fish waste.
