A fresh water aquarium doesnât require a book. I have 3 fish tanks (60, 80 and 120 gallons). There are only three things you need to do:
1. replace water (i use tap water) every 3 weeks to 1 month
2. install water filter
3. feed fish
4. enjoy the pleasures of watching fishes swim

I just bought a 5 gallon aquarium because thatâs all I could afford. My advice to you, donât go to doolittleâs pet shop in webster, new york. The mean lady there wonât sell you fun fish if you tell her you have a small tank. Something about them dying or something. Stupid trained experts, think they know everything. Iâll show her!!!
Oh yeah, your problem. Uh⌠just buy a filter and get some neat ornaments and youâre good to go! Donât forget water and fish though, those tend to help.
