Aquarium filtration is arguably the most important aspect of keeping healthy fish. Two main factors impact what I’d consider the best canister filter for the gallon capacity of my fish tank. Namely, the fish I keep and the Gallon Per Hour (GPH) flow rate that my new filter is able to pump. Don’t know what I’m talking about?
Your pet fish usually seems to have an insatiable hunger, but this morning something’s wrong.
It’s really discouraging to see your aquarium efforts go to waste because of a single parasitic outbreak.
The main aim when cycling your new fish tank is to make sure the aquarium is habitable. The best way to encourage this process is by introducing bottled bacteria that act as an aquarium cycle starter. If done properly the cycling will only take 2 weeks instead of the traditional 8 to 10. This is because the nitrogen cycle can be rushed with the right set of beneficial bacterial species.
You are in control of your fish tank, right until you have to leave town for a few days. But how long can your pet fish go without eating? Will your fish be able to live a couple of days without being fed? Would the aquarium survive on its own for a whole week? If so, exactly how long can your pet fish go without food, and will they turn ill during this period? Is there a way around starving them if you’re leaving for a vacation?
Did you recently add the perfect fish to your aquarium, just to find it covered in white dots a couple of days later?
Owning a Betta fish means that you’re going to observe all sorts of quirky behavior. One minute it lazily chills at the bottom of the aquarium, and the other it swims around, aggressively flaring its gills and fins at you.
Chilly aquarium water is more natural and relatively easy to achieve at home, considering it is synonymous with room temperature.
