Aquarium Fish
A Home For Your Fish

You can have a lot of fun planning a special home for your new pet. Your fish will need a tank to live in. You must also get some special equipment to keep the tank clean and the fish healthy. Ask a grown-up to help you pick out materials and set up your tank. Get everything you need and set up the tank before you bring your new fish home. It is best to circulate the water in the tank for at least 24 hours before putting fish in the water. Circulate the water by running the filter and air pump, which adds oxygen to the water for the fish to breathe.
