If there is no overflow of water, then the container's over-all weight goes up by the weight of the fish. The weight of the water itself doesn't change.

Does adding live fish to a fish tank increase its weight?
No, it doesn't since water is all around the fish and puts pressure from everywhere just as air puts pressure on us everywhere. But if the fish is the floor then it would be heavier since there is no pressure.

Ddo fish floating in a pon add weight to the overall weight of the water?
Yes, fish do add weight to the overall weight of the water in a pond. This is because the fish has mass, which adds to the mass of the water. As the fish swims around in the pond, it displaces the water in the pond, which adds to the overall weight of the water in the pond. Furthermore, when a fish excretes waste or urine, it adds to the overall weight of the water in the pond. The additional organic matter in the water, such as food particles and other organic materials, also add to the overall weight of the water in the pond.
If you put a five pound fish in a gallon of water does the water now weigh fifteen pounds?
A gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds. If you have a good sized bucket with a gallon of water in it and you put a 5-pound fish in the bucket, you'll have a bucket that weighs about 13.34 pounds (plus the weight of the bucket). That's as long as the bucket doesn't overflow. The fish will (usually) be neutrally bouyant in the water, and it will be essentially weightless in that water. But its weight will add to that of the water in the bucket. No, it won't weigh 15 pounds, but it will weigh in as suggested. However, the weight of the water itself will not change.
How do you change the water in the tank if one fish dies and one lives?

Will a tank full of water and a tank filled with water and fish swimming weigh the same on a scale?
That depends on the weight of the fish as compared to the weight of the water their bodies displace. If it's a heavy, dense fish, then the tank with the fish would weigh more. If it's a light, less dense fish, then the tank with water only would weigh more. This assumes that the water displaced has been removed from the tank, right? If you are adding the fish to the water then I think it should increase the weight regardless of the density of your fish. The question then might be, does the fish weigh less when it is swimming than it would on a dry scale?
How ofthen to you change water in your fish thank?

What do you do with the fish while you change the water?
When you are changing the water in a fish bowl, you have to empty cup ot bowl with water in it. Then, put it into clean water.
Do you have to take out the fish when changing the water?
It depends on if you are doing a complete water change or a partial water change. I usually just leave the fish in and siphon off about half of the water than replace the water. The fish get a bit nervous but seem to be fine with being left in the tank. To answer your question: No, you do not have to remove the fish when changing the water.

Will a tank of 100 gallons of water weight the same if a fifty pound fish is added?
No. If the water doesn't overflow, then the addition of the fish will increase the total weight of the tank and its contents by 50 pounds.
