Milkyness indicates either a build up of bacteria (Bacterial Bloom) or suspended air bubbles in the water columb. If you have just changed the water, or just set up the tank, it will be air bubbles and these will eventually dissipate naturally. If it is the former then your water needs to be changed ASAP and the filter may need to be re-cycled. A complete strip down is what I would do under those circumstances. If you follow the basic rules of sucessfull fishkeeping which are. (:- 1 inch of fish must have at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. :- Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week.) these 'bacterial bloom' things should not happen.

Should you put your fish in a bowl or tank?

it depends on how big it is if it is a goldfish or beta it can be in a bowl.If it is one of those big tiger fish or aqarium fish then put it in a big tank. A fish will grow to the size of the tank or bowl. For instance, say a goldfish is in a tank, it will not grow as big as the tank; however it will grow big enough to be able to swim in their environment. The fish will not overgrow the tank. I had a six inch goldfish in a thirty gallon tank.


Is it correct to say a tank that belongs to several fish is the fish's tank?

That depends on what you mean to say. For example, if you have one angel fish in the tank you could say "That's the fish's tank" meaning that is the tank for the angel fish. If you also had a couple of clown fish, you could refer to the tank as belonging to all three fish by saying "That's the fishes' tank." Slightly different spelling and punctuation
