FEEDING THE FISH
However carefully you add the fish to your tank they will look very unhappy for a while. Turn the lights out, and leave them overnight to get used to their new home. A feed with fish flakes the next day will make the fish feel at home.
If you already have an established tank, it is advisable to quarantine new fish before adding them to an existing populated tank, and the cheapest way to do this is to purchase a simple one-piece one foot glass or plastic tank which will need no gravel or plants. This can be used solely for quarantine and as an hospital tank.
Leave the fish in this tank for about three days during which any disease harboured by the fish would be evident for which it can be treated using available chemicals from your dealer. The fish can then be introduced into the tank in the same way before.
When you add new fish to an established community, there will probably be a certain amount of harassment of the new arrivals by the original fish. Try to divert their attention by giving them a good feed when the fish is intoduced.
If you notice that your new fish is not thriving well, do not hesitate to lodge a complaint with Mrfish limited, Email: catfish192001@yahoo.com
It might be worth testing the nitrite levels in your tank
