Aquarium Water Care
Guppies generally thrive in harder water, while neon tetras prefer softer conditions. That's why aquarium water care is about more than keeping the water clear. Maintaining the right water conditions for each fish species is especially important when changing water or setting up a new aquarium.
Depending on your tank's needs, you may need to remove chlorine, support beneficial bacteria or adjust water parameters. For everyday care, Tetra offers a range of products, from preparing fresh tap water to helping maintain a stable environment for your fish.

How to Choose the Right Aquarium Water Care Products
Different fish species have different water quality requirements. Rather than using several treatments at once, it's best to check your water conditions first and choose products based on what your aquarium actually needs.
- Tap water treatment: Water conditioners help neutralize chlorine and, depending on the product, other unwanted substances before adding fresh water, making water changes safer for your fish.
- Beneficial bacteria: Bacterial supplements support biological filtration and waste breakdown, especially when setting up a new aquarium or after cleaning the filter.
- Water parameters and algae control: Check pH and water hardness before making adjustments. If algae become a problem, combine suitable treatments with proper lighting and reduced leftover food.
For recurring algae problems, RATAJ offers specialized treatments worth considering. Meanwhile, HU-BEN provides products for testing and adjusting water conditions, helping you tailor aquarium care to the needs of your fish.
