1. Before putting your fish into water, please remember to treat the water. This step is usually skipped.
That could result in your fish dying as soon as you bring them home from the pet store. In order to prevent this problem, you would need to fill the tank and allow the water to settle for a few days, and then add underwater rocks then run the filter and air pump.
2. It is also important to read the instructions on the food package while feed your fish. You must be careful not to over feed them with fish supplies.
3. In addition be careful, not to put aggressive fish with slow fish- if you see a fish that is behaving unduly aggressively, separate your fish.
4. Be careful not to allow the pH and the temperature of the water in the fish tank stand to fluctuate. This may just kill the fish. It would be smart to keep a thermometer, and check the pH levels of the tank on a regular basis.
5. In the event that a fish is dying, you would need to examine the fish for sores, fin rot, etcetera. If there is a problem, treat the rest of the fish in your tank for any corresponding problems. You would also have to change the water in the tank as well. You could also take the fish to a fish specialist or to the pet store to accurately diagnose the problem.
