Setting Up Your Aquarium

Before adding fish, ensure the aquarium is correctly positioned, equipped and fully cycled.

Depending on the equipment included with the particular model, your setup may require:

• Suitable aquarium filtration
• Aquarium heater for tropical species
• Appropriate aquarium lighting
• Substrate
• Water conditioner
• Thermometer
• Rocks, driftwood or decorations
• Live or artificial plants
• Aquarium water test kits

Always select equipment suitable for approximately 50 litres and appropriate for the fish or other livestock you intend to keep.

Choosing Fish

A 50-litre aquarium can be suitable for a variety of smaller freshwater species when appropriately stocked.

Potential options may include compatible:

• Small tetras
• Rasboras
• Small livebearers
• Bettas
• Small Corydoras species
• Shrimp
• Snails

Stocking should always be based on the adult size, activity level, temperament and social requirements of each species rather than simply the number of fish that physically fit in the aquarium.

Aquarium Placement

Place the aquarium on a strong, level aquarium stand or cabinet capable of supporting its complete filled weight.

Remember that the final operating weight includes the aquarium, approximately 50 litres of water, substrate, rocks, driftwood, decorations and equipment.

Avoid positioning the aquarium:

• In direct sunlight
• On uneven or unstable furniture
• Near heaters or air conditioners
• Where it may be bumped or knocked
• In locations experiencing significant temperature fluctuations
• Where electrical equipment cannot be adequately protected from water

Aquarium Care

Regular maintenance will help maintain healthy aquarium conditions.

Recommended maintenance includes:

• Regular partial water changes
• Substrate cleaning where appropriate
• Routine filter maintenance
• Algae removal from viewing surfaces
• Testing ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH
• Monitoring aquarium temperature
• Removing uneaten food and organic waste
• Regularly checking filtration and electrical equipment

Always establish the aquarium's biological filtration and appropriately cycle a new aquarium before fully stocking it with fish.
