43

Remember to wash your hands before sticking them in the tank (specially if like me u work in construction)

46 Don't ressurrect 3 year old threads

47 Keep a flannel or small towel near the tank 24-7

OMG Nobody has said:

51 Always use dechlorinated water (chlorine kills fish)
 
The new 53 - Invest in a turkey baster. They are ideal for feeding certain fish/amphibians that are too slow to get to food before the other faster moving species.

Ideal if you have African Dwarf Frogs!!!
 
54. Make sure your tank water goes down the drain when cleaning not on the floor.

55. Never forget about a tank you are filling.

56. Keep fish food far away from other pets. Fish food breath is gross on dogs.

57. Keep new fish in a holding tank / QT for 3 weeks before adding to your big tank.
 
55. Never wash your filter sponges in anything but tank water- otherwise you're doing a fish in cycle every week.
