The common aquaristic beginner mistakes are as follow:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The size of the aquarium\n
      \n
    1. Too small aquariums are in need of care and cabinets are stocked with<\/li>\n
    2. Large aquariums require space and insurance \/ Dominate rooms<\/li>\n
    3. Dependence on desired stocking<\/li>\n
    4. Inform before<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    5. The choice of the aquarium location\n
        \n
      1. Direct sunlight<\/li>\n
      2. frequented room (otherwise shy animals)<\/li>\n
      3. As a room divider?<\/li>\n
      4. Room big enough?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      5. Measure water values accurately and keep an eye on them\n
          \n
        1. Buy test set<\/li>\n
        2. Check regularly<\/li>\n
        3. Especially in the running-in phase<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        4. Running-in phase not considered\n
            \n
          1. Animals used too early and then perishing<\/li>\n
          2. Algae infestation of the plants<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          3. The fish stocking => stocking density\n
              \n
            1. Fish should fit together<\/li>\n
            2. Observe water values<\/li>\n
            3. Pay attention to the size of the animals (also height for angelfish \/ discus)<\/li>\n
            4. Size of the pool in relation to animals<\/li>\n
            5. number of animals<\/li>\n
            6. Type of pool (community pool, species pool)<\/li>\n
            7. Pay attention to pelvic regions (bottom\/middle\/top)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
            8. The choice of plants\n
                \n
              1. Matching the stock (species tank?)<\/li>\n
              2. avoid algae: fast growing<\/li>\n
              3. Slow growing not good in running-in phase (algae)<\/li>\n
              4. Required space<\/li>\n
              5. Divide by pelvic region<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
              6. The choice of decoration\n
                  \n
                1. Should fit the type of pool (South America = roots, Asia = more stones)<\/li>\n
                2. Decoration as hiding place and for spawning<\/li>\n
                3. Too much decoration bad for floor level<\/li>\n
                4. Consideration for the swimming behaviour of the animals<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                5. The choice of the floor ground\n
                    \n
                  1. How rough? (fine sand or coarse gravel?)<\/li>\n
                  2. Dependence on tank inhabitants (Corydoras goby in the sand)<\/li>\n
                  3. Some species prefer dark soil<\/li>\n
                  4. Dependence on the type of pool (species pools require a specific substrate)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                  5. The aquarium technique\n
                      \n
                    1. Light (also illumination time, fluorescent tube or LED, lumen, temperature?)<\/li>\n
                    2. Filter (internal, external filter, cleaning, with thermostat)<\/li>\n
                    3. Control heater<\/li>\n
                    4. Co2 plant<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                    5. Partial water change\n
                        \n
                      1. Too rarely (pollutants are formed) or too often (withdraws nutrients)<\/li>\n
                      2. Tap water levels?<\/li>\n
                      3. Possibly osmosis water needed?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                      4. Fertilizing\n
                          \n
                        1. Fertilization essential for plant growth<\/li>\n
                        2. Especially if tap water is very clean (few nutrients)<\/li>\n
                        3. Depending on plant species (some need it (often fast growing and red), some do not (slow growing)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          Conclusion: Planning and education<\/p>\n

                            \n
                          1. Absolutely meticulous planning<\/li>\n
                          2. Inform about everything (read books and articles)<\/li>\n
                          3. Procure test set and take into account the running-in phase<\/li>\n
                          4. Plan the type of pool and then decide on the pool inhabitants and plants<\/li>\n
                          5. Precise technology planning<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
