Mistake #1: Overfeeding Your Fish
Text
Fish, especially in a new environment, are very excited when you approach their tank, and it’s tempting to feed them more than they need.

Overfeeding means uneaten food settles at the bottom of the aquarium and starts to decay. This creates excess waste, high ammonia, and dirty water.
