How To Safely Add Fish To Tank
- Set live stock aside with transportation bag in room temperature place for 30 minutes.
- Then transfer bag to float in aquarium for another 30 minutes
- Use a fish net to transfer the live stock by scooping it from the bag into the tank.
Note: Do not release live stocks together with the transportation water into tank.
Keeping Neon Cichlids in Singapore
Our local tap water tends to run soft and slightly acidic, which actually suits many dwarf cichlids, though it is chloraminated, so always dose a conditioner that handles chloramine before adding fish. Ambient temperatures of 27-29C sit comfortably in range for this species, so most Singapore keepers run them heaterless. Give them gentle flow, some cover from driftwood or plants, and stable water to see their best colour and behaviour.
