General Care

• Isolate every new inhabitant for 6-8 weeks before adding them to your aquarium

• Make regular water changes

• Do not overfeed

• Keep temperature within the recommended range

• Be observant; if an endler is not acting normal, there is a reason

• Remove any fish not acting normal into a quarantine container for evaluation. Look the fish over well and note how they act and are using their fins

If you are using Ark BioRite Total Water Conditioner and BioRite Replenisher in your original tank setup, you are providing the endlers with water conditions they prefer. Use BioRite Replenisher and Stress Relief together for all water changes. For water evaporation, only BioRite Water Conditioner is needed.
