Cleaning & Maintenance

Part of your job may include inspecting the fish in your store on a regular basis and keeping tanks clean. This will help ensure the fish you sell are as healthy as they can be.

Using checklists and carefully following maintenance routines will allow you to spot problems early and take necessary steps. Encourage customers to develop and follow a regular routine to care for their fish and aquariums.

Never use soap to clean fish tanks or equipment. Even small amounts of soap will kill fish.
