There
are many different species of fish and they all like to live in
condtions similar to their home waters or lakes. Consider a Discus
fish living in water conditions suitable for African cichlids. You
guessed it, the Discus fish wouldnt be happy in those conditions.
Several water supplements and conditioners (salts & buffers)
are available. These supplements are designed to mimic the exact
conditions of various lakes around the world. That is, Central American
cichlids require a neutral pH living environment, whereas Tanganyinkan
cichlids demand a high pH, for example. All lakes in Aftrica and
in the Americas (such as Lake Vicoria, Lake Taganyika, Lake Malawa
etc...) contain specific trace elements and minerals which are specific
to those particular lakes. Cichlids and other fish that originate
from specific lakes will be happier in the water conditions of their
ancestors.

Above
everything else you do to your aquarium, proper filtration
is the key to a healthy, happy, vibrant tank. You like to
feed your fish a lot of food? Your biological filter will
handle a great deal of that nasty ammonia caused by overfeading
but if you like to feed your fish a lot, add ammonia chips and activated
charcoal to your filtration system and frequent your water changes.
Proper
filtration and scheduled water changes is, a lot of the times, the
answer to most of our aquarium problems. Aquarium Supplies
Plus keeps a large stock of filtration
pads and cartridges.
Please take
a look at the many brands and types of filtration items we carry,
we'll probably have exactly what you need. Click here
to browse our stock of filtration products!
We
carry filter pads, filter sponges, absorption resin filter media,
filter cartridges, filter bags & canister filters. |

Aquarium
Supplies Plus stocks several different types of freshwater
and saltwater test kits.Because there is some controversy
as to which brand name has the highest quality, we stock several
different brands that detect many different kinds of aquarium water
contaminants.
For
freshwater tanks, a common contaminant is ammonia,
a nasty substance produced by decomposing food (due to over-feeding/poor
filtration) or fish waste and when found in high levels, can starve
your fish from oxygen.
High levels of ammonia
is the #1 killer of fish. Testing your water on a weekly basis
is essential for proper fish and aquarium water health.
We
sell test kits for Ammonia
and Ammonium, boron,
borate, Calcium,
Chlorine/Chloramine,
carbonate, Copper,
Carbon
Dioxide, Iron,
Iodine,
KH-alkalinity,
Magnesium,
Nitrate,
Nitrite,
Oxygen,
pH,
Phosphate,
Silicate
& Strontium.
We also sell Multi-tests
kits which combine many of the above tests into one package.

Medications
to treat many common tropical fish diseases, like fish Ick
A
lot of times, over-feeding, poor water filtration, accumulation
of fish waste and decomposition of any kind will cause unfavorable
water conditions. Water conditions like these cause diseases.
Most of the diseases and conditions you will read below are currently
in your tank right now, but if the water conditions are favorable,
your fishes immune systems protect them. When they become unfavorable,
many fishs natural defenses break down and they become susceptible
to disease. The point is, fish and plants are susceptible to diseases
just like you and I and medications
have been developed to treat them.
Some
common diseases are Ichthyophthirius (Ich) and Lymphocystis.
Treatment is easy, often in one or five doses. Read all directions
and specifications carefully.
We carry medications
for many common fish
diseases and ailments such as: cryptocaryon,
hexamita, ichthyophthirius, ectoparasites, hemorrhaging, infectious
lesions, dropsy, fin rot, tail rot, loss of scales, inflamed gills,
tuberculosis, other bacterial infections, fungal infections &
internal infections in fish that have stopped eating.
We also carry medications
for many different strains of plant algae.

Submersible
water pumps or powerheads can be hidden
behind aquarium decorations or live plants and provides a means
for underground filtration
and proper water circulation. External
water pumps can also be used with underground filtration,
but also can be used in conjunction with external filters units
or sumps.
Canister
filters are external self-contained
filtration
units and provide a method of external water filtration
without the risk of causing fluctuations in water temperature, as
submersible pumps can sometimes create.
We
sell water pumps by Aquamedic,
Dolphin,
Eheim,
Gen
X, Hailea,
Iwaki,
Mag-Drive,
Maxi-Jet,
Rio,
Sedra,
