You will probably NOT want to do this, as most people get carried away ("Oh, they need more..."). It's almost impossible to underfeed your fish. For a tank of 5-10 fish, a pinch barely the size of a dime of flakes once per day is fine. </FONT></TD></TR>

<TD colSpan=2><FONT face=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif size=-1><B>Common sense </B><I>by eHow Friend</I><BR>Do a 35-50% water change every 4-6 weeks, depending on load and feeding. It's not the best way, but it's less work and is acceptable if you have a strong filter and setup. Use lukewarm water. Be generous with water conditioning solution. Use Python hose that hooks up to a faucet for suctioning bottom and faster water changes. <BR><BR>Over-filter your tank. Example: 40 gal tank? Get a 60 gal filter. And, be generous with the filter media like carbon, ammo-chips, etc., but don't go overboard. <BR><BR>Buy a UV sterilizer. It'll kill free-floating germs, parasites and algae. <BR><BR>Have a heater unless you live in air-conditioned home where inside temperature is constantly maintained above 73 degrees. <BR><BR>Buy an acrylic tank whenever possible. It flexes a little for more resistance to leaking and it just plain looks better than glass. It's also much lighter than glass, but, be careful as it scratches easily. <BR><BR>Clean decorations in diluted bleach water by soaking overnight in the bathtub. Rinse thoroughly, then treat with dechlorinator in a bucket or in the tank. <BR><BR>Have bottle of Melafix on hand. It seems to cure just about everything especially if the fish is treated early. <BR><BR>Have proper tools and supplies for maintenance. It makes the work easier and more enjoyable. And believe me, it is work. <BR><BR>My setup is a 50 gal acrylic rectangular tank, Rena Filstar XP2 (upto 75 gal) with a UV sterilizer connected to the filter, Rena 200 air-pump (up to 30 gallons), no heater, fluorescent strip light, and fine white sand (freshwater safe type). Fish are freshwater community. <BR><BR>It's a simple setup I've had for over 10 years with a lot of success. I have a lot of decorations that I interchange almost every time I do a water change. To me, the fish tank is like a living canvas and I get to create a whole new picture every month. I apply a theme to each new creation from jungle to stone scape to ocean reef to fantasy land and everything in between. <BR><BR>Keeping freshwater community fish (they're easier and less costly than saltwater) allows a wide variation in size and numbers of fish (I've had Oscars, Africans, an all-aggressive, and thus far, enjoy the community the most). I have 1 inch fish living peacefully alongside 4 inch fish. 6 varieties of small tetras, a barb, a bala shark, a skirt, a betta, a couple corys, couple catfish, 3 clowns, a ram, a scat, a pleco, 2 hatchets, and one really fat goldfish all coexist in the tank. <BR><BR>This may not be the desired setup or method for many hobbyists, but it's relatively simple and easy to maintain. Plus, for people who don't want to look at the same or similar setup day in and day out, this setup allows you change the look of your tank dramatically and often. I think for many people, it'll keep them interested in the hobby. It does for me. <BR><BR>Thanks. <BR></FONT></TD></TR>
