Starting an Aquarium

Starting a fish aquarium is fairly easy if

you have everything you need. The things

you need are:

An aquarium
A water heater
A filter (under gravel filter is very easy to use. There are other types of filters too, but you have to keep buying filters for them).
Gravel (2 lbs. for every gallon does pretty well).
A hood or lid with a light is important to develop bacteria (it is important to purchase bacteria because it gives the fish a protective slime coating, and breaks down other harmful things that could hurt your fish).
Live plants (they aren't a necessity but keep the tank cleaner and provide more oxygen and hiding places for fish).
Water dechlorinization tablets or liquid (this takes the chlorine out of the water because chlorine kills the fish).
Air pump
A net
Fish food (there are many kinds of fish food. It depends on what kind of animals you have in your tank. Most of the time the food bottle tells what kind of fish it is meant to feed).
And of course something living (you have to wait at least 24 hours after you set up your aquarium and put the bacteria in, so it will have time to settle. You don't want to start with a huge amount of fish. Take it little by little. You may want to just start with 1 or 2 fish, then a few weeks later add some more).
