Before Adding Freshwater Livestock
Freshwater species vary considerably in temperament, adult size, water requirements, diet and compatibility. Before purchasing, check that your aquarium is cycled and suitable for the species you're considering, and that your existing livestock will be compatible. If you're unsure, speak to the Tropical Supplies team before ordering.
