If you plan to keep your pet fish healthy and comfortable, there are some things your aquarium must have. These key aquarium supplies include:
Aquarium heater
Fish get affected by rapid temperature changes, and you should have a heater in your aquarium to keep the fish consistently warm. Warm temperatures will make the fish less stressed and healthier. The temperature you set in your aquarium will depend on the fish species, but temperatures between 72 and 82 degrees are ideal.
Air pump
This device will ensure the water in the aquarium stays oxygenated, making it easier for the fish to breathe. It will also keep the aquarium evenly heated by blowing warm water away from the heater.
Water conditioner
Your pet fish’s waste contains ammonia which can kill them if it builds up in the aquarium. A water conditioner will break down and digest the ammonia keeping your fish safe. A water conditioner will also extract toxic heavy metals and chlorine from your water supply.
