Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
Fish are actually very hard to take care of correctly and many die because people are not educated about how to do so. The first 2-3 months a tank is up and running are an especially critical period as the filter "cycles" (becomes capable of processing fish waste). During this period, toxins from the waste or filter by-products can build up in a tank unless you have been taught how to measure the toxins and how to mitigate them. It's very common for entire tanks to die during this period if the person is not vigalent. Once the filter establishes, you're not off the hook. You still have to make sure to change the water and clean the tank regularly or the tank can become victim to something called "old tank syndrome" where the pH crashes and the filter "uncycles" in the process. It's no wonder that so many used tanks are for sale on a daily basis. It's not as easy as most people think it is.
