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.

How do you change fish water?
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.
Clean water is added to a tank full of dirty water. After some time the tank is full of clean water. Dirty water disappears. What is the principle and how does it work?
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.
How can you make fish life better?
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!
What does aerators do in a fish tank?
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.
Can you have 6 neon tetras 2 ghost shrimp and a betta fish in a 10 gallon aquarium?
