Fish are sensitive animals to both temperature and pollution, and so, it's very important that you are frequently cleaning and maintaining their environment. Here are some  important tools that you need to be using to help you enhance your fish tank.

Water filtration system: These bubbling tubes draw water up and through a fine filter, getting rid of hazardous particles that can make your fish ill and cloud the water. Every fish tank needs to have a filter that is appropriate for its size.

Water conditioner: Conditioner helps stop stress-related diseases that occur when the pH or temperature of the water is not optimal for fish. While these also help for fish tanks full of chlorinated tap water, you should always leave tap water out overnight before adding it to your fish tank. This offers the chlorine time to evaporate out of the water and will make it healthier for your aquarium.

Aquatic plants: Adding plants to your fish tank provides your fish a much less stressful environment as it more closely resembles their natural habitat and provides places to hide. Additionally, plants help lower the carbon in the water, which in turn helps maintain the level of acidity balanced. Just make sure you're getting tablets or drops to help maintain your plants healthy as well - aquatic plant care is critical to maintaining a prospering fish tank.

Mineral treatments and pH balancers: Keeping the minerality and acidity of your aquarium perfectly balanced for your fish is important to their survival. Mineral treatments and pH balancers will guarantee your fish has a healthy environment to live in. In addition, if you have a brackish or saltwater tank, you'll need to make sure the salinity is optimized as well, and a pet store can help with that.

Keeping your aquarium's water conditioned, pH balanced, and clean will ensure a long and healthy life for your fish. We have the expertise here at High Paw Pet Supplies, so give us a call at (719) 836-4909 or come by and see us today.
