Here are some tips:
* Don't change all the water at once. This can shock your fish and disrupt the beneficial bacteria in your tank. Aim to change about 25-50% of the water each week.
* Use dechlorinated water. Tap water contains chlorine that can be harmful to fish. Use a water conditioner to remove the chlorine before adding it to your tank.
* Match the temperature. Make sure the new water is the same temperature as the water in your tank. This will prevent your fish from experiencing thermal shock.
* Vacuum the gravel. This helps to remove debris and waste that can build up at the bottom of the tank.
* Observe your fish. After a water change, keep a close eye on your fish for any signs of stress or illness.
