Instructions
Purchase an aquarium kit that contains the elements needed to set up a tropical fish aquarium.
Pour the gravel or sand in the bottom of the tank and fill it with (dechlorinated) water. Add finishing touches, such as plants or decorative items.
Cycle the water to ensure that the nitrogen and ammonia are distributed properly and that your fish will have a healthy living environment.
Put the fish in the water.
Feed the fish the right amount of food and make sure it doesn't cloud up the water.
