===When you first adopt a pet fish, I strongly suggest you have a tank ( and the fish prefer decorations to hide behind when they first get intoduced to the new enviornment ) ready and the lights and filter ( if you have them ) up and running. If you are using tap water then you should let the water sit out overnight just to make sure that the water is safe. Also, you should be aware, if your fish are salt-water fish, put them in a salt-water tank. If they are fresh-water fish, put them in a fresh-water tank.===

=__Putting the fish in the tank.__=

Let the bag of water that the fish are in ( dont release them into the tank yet ) sit in the tank for a couple hours. this is just so the fish can get used to the water temprature.

after the fish have sat in the bag thats in the tank for a couple hours, you can release them into their new tank, but do not pick them up with your hands, because then the fish's protective slime coat that protects them from disease will stick to your hands and come off of the fish. instead, just open the bag and the fish will eventually swim out.



> ==== > ==Once your fish is introduced to your tank, and you have all the fish you want in your tank, you have to remember to feed them. now fish dont need too much food, since their stomache is only the size of their eyeball. I currently have fish and i only feed them twice a day, breakfast an dinner, and my fish are doing fine, so i would say dont give them lunch, because that might be too much food.==
 * ==Also, you should note that fish feel more comfortable in schools. your fish may feel better and may want more than 1 fish of their same type, but you shouldn't overcrowd your tank. If you are not sure how many fish are too much for your tank, tell the people that you bought your fish from how big your tank is and ask if the amount of fish that you have isnt to crowded==
