Introduce fish gradually to the new tank's water, and provide plants for cover as well as open swimming space. Keep this fish in a group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to feed\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffer fish food small enough for their mouths. Suitable live or frozen aquarium foods can add variety.
