To create a comfortable habitat for aquarium fish, it is advisable to lay the ground on the bottom. It can be river coarse sand, small or medium pebbles, various shells. In addition, there is a large selection of aquatic plants, among which the fish will enjoy swimming, and the fry will hide there from adult fish. Various objects are installed as decorative elements on the bottom of the aquarium: sunken ships, castles, jugs, statues, driftwood and more. But everything should have a sense of proportion. It is best to avoid objects with sharp edges and do not put them in the aquarium so that the fish cannot get hurt by them.
Before placing the soil and decorative elements in the aquarium, they should be thoroughly rinsed without chemical detergents and doused with boiling water in order to avoid the entry of various pathogenic bacteria into the aquatic environment.
