Aquariums are a wonderful centerpiece to a room. Fish and other aquatic animals are fascinating to watch, and you can personalize your water world with plants and decorations that match your style. However, regular upkeep is a must, as fish and other aquatic pets are extremely sensitive to pH modifications and dirty water. A functional, healthy aquarium requires functioning filtration, temperature control, and water conditioners to provide the ideal environment for your fish. If you're looking for assistance enhancing your aquarium in the Scappoose, OR area, come down to Purrz and Paws Pet Supply and let us show you everything you require to keep your water clean.

Fish are sensitive creatures to both temperature and contamination, therefore, it's very important that you are consistently cleaning and preserving their setting. Here are some  essential tools that you should be using to help you optimize your fish tank.

Water filtration system: These bubbling tubes draw water up and through a fine filter, eliminating dangerous particles that can make your fish sick and cloud the water. Every aquarium needs to have a filter that is appropriate for its size.

Water conditioner: Conditioner helps stop stress-related diseases that happen when the pH or temperature of the water is not ideal for fish. While these also help for fish tanks filled with chlorinated tap water, you should always leave tap water out overnight before adding it to your fish tank. This offers the chlorine time to evaporate out of the water and will make it healthier for your aquarium.

Aquatic plants: Including plants to your aquarium provides your fish a less stressful setting as it more closely resembles their natural habitat and gives them places to hide. Additionally, plants help lower the carbon in the water, which in turn helps keep the level of acidity balanced. Simply ensure you're getting tablets or drops to help keep your plants healthy as well - aquatic plant care is important to maintaining a flourishing fish tank.

Mineral treatments and pH balancers: Keeping the minerality and acidity of your fish tank perfectly balanced for your fish is vital to their survival. Mineral treatments and pH balancers will guarantee your fish has a healthy environment to live in. In addition, if you have a brackish or saltwater tank, you'll need to make sure the salinity is optimized as well, and a pet store can assist with that.

Keeping your aquarium's water conditioned, pH balanced, and clean will ensure a long and healthy life for your fish. We have the experience here at Purrz and Paws Pet Supply, so give us a call at (503) 543-5740 or stop by and see us today.
