    LIVESTOCK & TIPS 1. Regular water changes of up to 25% are highly recommended, initially on a weekly basis and subsequently depending on water quality. 2. All livestock must be carefully acclimated before being introduced into the tank. 3. Introduce all livestock very slowly over a number of weeks. Smaller tanks are more sensitive to changes in water parameters and therefore it is not advisable to introduce more than one animal at a time.
