Do You REALLY Need More Fish?



Consider this your fintervention!

Look, we know adding new fish is fun, but do you REALLY need more? Just because you have the space in your tank and filtration capability, are you adding new fish for the sake of adding them or is it in the best interest of the fish you already have? It’s always easier to maintain a system with fewer fish and allow them extra room to swim and thrive.

We understand the thrill and desire to add new fish to your tank or pond, but we ask you to carefully consider why you are adding new fish. Keep in mind that adding new fish is the #1 way that illness occurs in fish tanks. Not all fish read the rule books and will act as expected. If you have to tell yourself that you’ll get rid of some fish later as they grow bigger or more aggressive, don’t add any more fish!

And, of course, this is after a 4-6 week quarantine right?
