As long as you have a filter and have treated the water with the correct amount of treatment it should only be a minute before it is safe to put it in, If you just have a filter and don't treat the water wait 24 hours if you can.
First you get a tank. Then you add washed gravel to the tank and add any decorations. Put in the filter and heater (if you want a tropical aquarium. if not then just the filter) then put the water in. Add water purifier to the water and wait 2 weeks before getting your fish
NO! you have to move your fish to another aquarium first or else your fish will die. i recommend to wait 10 minutes after following all directions befor puting back your fish.
Put the fish in 2 days after you get the tank, they live longer.
you add the fish to the tank and it will just show up.
Sally's are hardy crabs and aslong as your water is healthy you can add one to the tank anytime after the initial tank cycle.

The first step to setting up a freshwater fish aquarium is to have the proper equipment on hand. Aside from the aquarium, one will need to have gravel, a filter, replacement filter media, a heater, decorations, an aquarium test kit, a vacuum, a fish net, a glass scrubber, food, and a strainer. Secondly, think about the size and location of the aquarium. Before purchasing the aquarium, know what type of fish are going to be kept in it. Since fish vary in size, it is important that the aquarium can accommodate the fish. The location of the tank is also important and should be in a spot where the temperature of the water will not be affected. This will happen if it is placed by a window or a heater, thus resulting in green algae. Third, set up the aquarium. Wash the tank by rinsing it out with water only. Detergents can be harmful to some fish. Wash the gravel and all plants and decorations that are going into the tank. Once washed, these items can be placed into the aquarium. Fourth, add the water and set up the aquarium. Fill the tank with room temperature water and consider getting a product to help remove the chlorine. At this point, place the heater in the tank. Plug it in once the thermometer has reached the temperature of the water. Add the filter and any other items. Once everything is set, the tank can have more water added to it if necessary. Replace the hood back onto the tank and plug everything in. Fifth, wait a while before placing fish into the tank. The aquarium has to cycle before any fish can be added. When it is time to add fish, only add a couple at a time. This is to help the filtration system. Fish can become stressed when placed in a new aquarium and this can lead to death or disease. To help relieve the stress, let the bag float in the tank so it can become accustomed to the water temperature. After about 5 minutes, add a little aquarium water to the bag to help the fish acclimate to the pH level.
Put them in a decorative aquarium and add colorful gravel to the bottom and live plants that they will like to eat and hide among.
No, it is not safe to add bottled water to your fish tank as it may contain chemicals or minerals harmful to fish. It is recommended to use dechlorinated tap water or water specifically designed for aquarium use.
