The first step to setting up your aquarium is to select the right size for your needs.
That means picking an appropriately sized tank with enough space for the type of fish you want to keep.
It is essential to ensure your fish will thrive and create a healthy and aesthetically pleasing environment. An aquarium should provide enough space for fish to swim and explore comfortably.
"The tank needs to be appropriately sized and has enough space for the fish to move around, as overcrowding can cause fish to become stressed and increase the amount of toxins and bioload in the aquarium. "
Choosing the right tank also means considering any live plants, deco or other equipment you might want to add to your aquarium. Knowing the types of fish and plants you will be adding will give you a better indication of the aquarium size and capacity needed.
Also, the aquarium's environment should be considered, as some fish and plants may require specific water parameters or conditions.
Make sure to research the requirements for each type of fish and plant to ensure that your aquarium creates a comfortable and safe environment for all aquatic life.
