Supplies for 46 gallon aquarium???

Age your aquarium water or at least use a chlorine eliminator chemical available from your pet store.

When introducing fish, only put two or three in per week. This lets the urine from the fish become chemically changed by the normal action of the bacteria in the tank into non-toxic. By introducing fish slowly like this you prevent the tank from becoming over burdened by the urine of a lot of fish at once.

I’d suggest a couple of small catfish and 1 plecostamus (sic) to start with because they will keep the bottom of the tank fairly clean of food and “other” debris.

Rather than air tubes that bubble air into the water, I’d suggest an external filter such as Aqua-Tech. It filters out things from the water and furnishes necessary air into the water via the action of the water pouring back into the tank. Just make sure you get the filter for your size of aquarium.

Make sure that when you are adding fish to your aquarium, you “float” the bag with the fish on the top of your aquarium water for 30 minutes. This lets the fish in the bag be customized to the temperature of your aquarium. Also it is helpful to add a tablespoon of your aquariums water to the bag every 5 minutes to let the fish become accustomed to the ingredients in your aquariums watter.

When adding the fish to your aquarium, DON’T pour them and their bag of water into your aquarium. Use a net and only place the fish into your aquarium. Otherwise you run the common risk of introducing foreign bacteria from the pet store into your aquarium which can sicken and even kill all your fish.
