If you are losing water in your tank, it is probably because of evaporation. No matter if you have a fish bowl or a fish tank, if it's in direct sunlight, the water's gonna evaporate. Another way you could be losing water is something called "fish intake". Most fish absorb water through their skin, and they replace it with their... bodily fluids. And most of what the fluids are is carbon dioxide and other things that take the place of water. Now there's more air in there and less water. Hope you find this useful!
P.S.-- If you find that the water is lower because of fish intake, add a bit of water IMMEDIATELY!!! The lack of water means lack of oxygen. Your fish could suffocate!
P.P.S-- On that cheerful note, good-bye!

∙ 13y agoIf you have already checked all the obvious causes such as leakage, and evaporation, you might have a cat that is drinking the water. If you want to control evaporation you would do that by putting a close-fitting lid or hood on the tank. Air stones, since they produce lots of fine bubbles, tend to increase the rate of evaporation. If you are losing water from evaporation, it is better for the fish to replenish the water with distilled water since other water will tend to increase the mineral content.

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 do you change the water in the tank if one fish dies and one lives?

How do move your fish from tank to tank?
you can fish the fish out of the tank with a net or a cup and keep them in a bowl with some water that came from the unclean tank, until the next tank is ready for their arrival. So when you have the next tank ready, you can just take the cup and dump them in with the water that you left it in when cleaning.
