The first feature of the Cartaking Tips thread, I would like to cover the maintainance of your TVR pond. It is very important that TVR keepers minimize the amount of waste that the fish produced that's in the pond at all time. Nitrate and ammonia are detrimental to our TVR's health. The accumulation of wastes will also ruin the TVR's complexsion. There should be a constant effort from keepers to ciphon the waste out in regular interval. It is a very bad idea to have you fish swim around their own waste. Ranchu will tend chew over their own feces as they look for food, and that's not good. If you see any solid waste floating in the water, make it a habit to take it out right away. You may use a net or a ciphoning tube.

The series of picture which I will present following this thread is a serie of pictures of Mr.Kashino cleaning his BBRs pond by ciphoning out wastes. The pictures are self explanatory and they are a friendly reminder for all you TVR keepers to keep up the good work. It is a simple task, and when you do it regularly your fish will love you for it, and their condition will improve ten folds. This simple routine will also minimize any problem with your TVR's gills.
