## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of lamp should I buy for the little aquariam that the kot came with? I dont want them getting too hot or not warm enough**
A: They need full spectrum light to grow. Fluorescent or natural light for growth.   Incandescent can be used to warm them but you need to cover the tank with foil to block the light at night.

**Q: We accidentally threw away our instructions. Is there a way to get a pdf? We aren't sure how much to feed them.**
A: Hello, could you send us an email so we can send you the instructions? I can say you don't feed them for the first 3 days, then you can drop in some baby food. But please send us an email so we can send you the instructions.

**Q: Does the kit include the bubbler to aerate the water?**
A: Hi  No our kits  do  not contain a bubbler.  We suggest changing 1/3 of the water  to keep the water clear until the beneficial bacteria grow in the sand.    It takes a few weeks.  Once the bacteria are established in the sand, be careful not to shake up the sand during routine water changes...  I'd say after two weeks you should try not to disturb the sand.

**Q: How much gallons or liters does the triop tank hold**
A: Don’t think Gallons or Liters, It’s a small plastic Tank. Holds just about 2 Full Small bottles of water. Like in the big 24 Bottles packs.
