that depends on the size of your tank ....my tank is not very huge and has 9 fishes in them plus a filter so it takes about a month and a half to get dirty.my tank is only about 20 inches long and 10 inches wide.
Assuming the dirty fish tank has had fish and water in it, without doing various specialised water tests it is impossible to tell what is in it.
when the water starts to get dirty if it is a bit dirty then leave it when it starts to get really dirty clean the filter and your fish tank
Every fish will make your tank dirty because every fish puts out waste.
No They are really a helpful fish in you tank most of the time they eat any grow algae growing your fish tank they add wonderful color into your tank and they are very active and have hundreds of live babies
your fish have a funus growing on them that will kill them go to aquarium and buy white spot and fungas medication. remove fish from DIRTY tank. clean tank. medicate the water. if fish are sharing tank with other fish keep them separate and medicate till whits spot is gone this fungus will contract to all other fish if let go is mostly brought to tank by introducing plants or other fish that have already been contaminated.also by a DIRTY tank
it means your swimming in a pool with dirty water and fish.....get out!
I gently syphon the water out from the bottom of the tank into a bucket, thereby removing the mulm and poo that have accumulated on the bottom of the tank. Then I use the dirty water to water pot plants etc. I top up the tank by syphoning water that I have heated and prepared with chlorine neutraliser back into the tank from the bucket.
Foam on the surface of a fish tank can be caused by protein buildup from excess fish food, waste, or decaying plant matter. It may also be due to inadequate surface agitation, leading to poor oxygen exchange. Regular water changes and proper filtration can help alleviate this issue.
The principle is 'dilution': with the first addition of clean water to dirty water, the dirty water becomes less dirty because it is diluted by the clean water. With the continued addition of clean water to dirty water, eventually the dirty water will be completely diluted and there will be no dirty water left; it will all be replaced by clean water.
Give your fish enough space to swim around in. I think of it as, the more fish you have, the bigger the tank should be. Don't have so many fish in a smaller tank. Make sure to feed your fish everyday. This is obviously essential because if you don't, they will die, and that will for sure not make your fish's life better. Make sure that you clean your tank whenever you sense that it is getting dirty. Clearer water makes your tank look a lot better, and it also helps the fish see and breathe easier. No body likes a dirty tank! It is also good to have a filter in your water, because it circulates the water, and makes it easier for the fish to breathe. Filters do make a difference, because I've had my fish for about seven years now, and It survived this long because of my filter. Hope it helped!
The aerator in a fish tank pushes air into the water. Some of the oxygen from the air stays in the water so that the fish in the aquarium can breath it. Even though fish live in the water, they still need oxygen to live. When they pass the water through their gills, the oxygen in the water is taken into the fish's blood stream.
It might be a little crowded, but you should be okay with regular water changes. Be careful though because guppies breed readily and with 5 of them you will have a lot of baby guppies and that will definitely overcrowd your tank.
