A few minutes a day is enough.

Light up your aquarium in the morning and turn it off in the evening to mimic the natural light cycle. This lighting is essential for plants. If you are afraid of forgetting, very inexpensive devices exist to light and extinguish your aquarium at a fixed time.

Feed your little inhabitants 1 to 2 times a day but, be careful, in very small quantities. Too much food is bad for your fish. Estimate that your small animals must have swallowed their ration in 5 minutes. The most suitable time is morning and evening. Take advantage of this time to observe them and check their state of health. Here too, food vending machines are available for little financial investment.

Only check the proper functioning of the equipment, the filter and the heating.
