Regular water changes: Try to change about 10-15% of the water in the aquarium every 1-2 weeks to remove waste and pollutants.
-
Proper filtration: Install a good quality filter in your aquarium to remove debris and maintain water quality.

Monitoring water parameters: Regularly check the water parameters such as pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels to ensure they are within the optimal range for your fish.
-
Cleaning decorations and surfaces: Clean the aquarium decorations, gravel, and glass regularly to remove algae and waste buildup.

Avoid overfeeding: Feed your fish in moderation to prevent uneaten food from rotting and causing water quality issues.
