We at The Princes Association truly understand the concerns of our customers regarding the keeping of the Garra Rufa Turkey Wild Breed.

Firstly, our Garra Rufas are harvested & caught from the wilds; they are stronger, healthier and more responsive than those Garra Rufa fishes which are bred in the farm naturally. Our Garra Rufa fishes are easy to keep with the correct setup & maintenance from the start.

High Ammonia & Nitrate levels are the Number 1 KILLERS of Garra Rufa. Ammonia Spikes can kill very large amounts or all the Garra Rufas in a matter of minutes. This is where the tank’s filtration system comes into helping our little Garra Rufa fishes. The right filtration setup will help reduce & balance the amount of Ammonia and Nitrate levels.

The Correct Filtration

The Right Filtration System is one that filters and treats the water in the tank efficiently. For business setup, you will need to allocate a large enough space for the filtration system to keep our Garra Rufa fishes happy & safe. The list of basic equipment which you will need are as follows:

1. Water Pump Filter (Internal Filtration System)
2. UV-Filter
3. Temperature Regulator
4. Air Pump (ac/dc)

The power of the pump is to be calculated according to the specifications of your tank. It will pump water into the UV-Filter which is actually the key to ensuring that these Garra Rufa fishes get the freshest water every time. The UV-Filter ensures that germs & bacteria in the water that pass through it are killed immediately before the water reaches the main area of the tank.

Along the Filtration System's Box or Compartments, there should be Ammonia rocks, Bio Ceramics Rings, Charcoal(known as Carbon) and Sea Corals.

An O₃ (ozone) system can be installed for extra Ammonia reduction & sterilization of water.  However, this equipment is not compulsory as you already have the UV-Filter.

The UV-Filter kills 99.99% of germs & bacteria that passes through it and this is vital for the hygiene of both fishes & humans using them. Setting of water has to be done carefully and temperature has to be set at a minimum of 34 Degrees Celsius on the Temperature Regulator. This is the best temperature for our Garra Rufa Turkey Wild Breed.

We, at The Princes Association know & understand our Garra Rufa fishes very well.  The weight and right amount of each item will be calculated by us which will mean that you do not need to worry if you have too little Ammonia Rocks, Bio Ceramics Rings, Charcoal or Sea Corals.
