Observation and daily verification of aquarium inhabitants is an important preventative measure. A quick daily check will reveal any problems before they become serious. Specimens that are hiding and/or exhibiting torn or damaged body parts could indicate fighting and territorial disputes. Early recognition and diagnosis of any abnormalities or problems will allow timely treatment and much better chances of success.


Regular use of products such as Cycle and Aqua Plus contribute significantly to providing optimal water quality and reducing fish stress. Aqua Plus contains a patented formula that provides fish with natural herbs known to have calming effects. Along with the capability of neutralizing chlorine and breaking the chloramine bond when first introducing water or doing partial changes, Aqua Plus provides complete conditioning. Biological stability is key to providing consistent water quality. Cycle provides a balanced community of highly beneficial bacteria. Cycle, dosed on a weekly basis, will build a stable population and, through competitive exclusion, displace undesirable strains of bacteria, reducing chances of disease while supporting a clean, healthy, aquarium environment.
