Procedure 1. The first thing we had to do was research what type of fish we wanted to take care of. We chose to keep freshwater tropical fish. ¢ 2. Next we had to research materials that are needed for the freshwater tropical fish. The materials consisted of an aquarium, water, fish food, ingredients for fish food, tank decorations, pebbles, algae tablets, ph strips, and o2 strips. ¢ 3. Then we had to gather all of these materials. We started of with a very dirty disgusting tank. We cleaned it with out soap because we didn’t want to risk hurting the fish. ¢ 4. Then we put in water and we let its sit for over 48 hours so it would be at room temperature for the fish. We also added three different color rocks to the bottom of the tank and had to calculate the right amount of rocks. Then we hooked up our filter and heater to the tank and set them to the right levels for the fish so they would both be running by the time they got here. ¢ 5. Then we researched freshwater tropical fish and found “community fish” because we didn’t want fish that would not get along or get territorial. ¢ 6. Then we went to petco and bought fish fish. We brought them back to school in bags and we let the bags rest on the water in the tank for a few hours. Then we opened the bags and let the fish swim into the tank. We did this because the research we found recommended to, so that our fish would adapt to the tank more quickly. We put five fish in at a time because we learned if you add more than that at a time the ph levels go crazy because the filter cant filter it out all at once. ¢ 7. Then we put in store bought fish food into the tank for the fish to eat. ¢ 8. We have been researching and making homemade fish food. (instructions for that are on the future slides) ¢ 9. We also keep on testing the ph levels of the tank so that our habitat is safe for our fish. ¢ 10. We are still researching the specific needs of all of our fish. We are also looking at the ph levels and oxygen levels in the tank. ¢ 11. Soon we will be adding more fish of different species! ¢ Tess media type="youtube" key="1Ibe80_kmb4" height="344" width="425"
