Scrape the glass with a single-edge razor blade. Use vinegar to remove the lime-scale and Windex or other glass cleaner to finish it off. Rinse it well and fill it to test it for leaks outside. If it is old, the joints may be leaking.
Hard to say... all depend on Type of fish what you feed them what equitment you use for your tank other fish in your tank how oftem you clean it etc.
yes it can
It is OK to use a detergent when cleaning (scrubbing) out a dirty fish tank. The important thing is to make very sure the tank is scrubbed with clean water a couple of times after the detergent has been rinsed out. Any detergent left in the tank could easily kill your fish.
That sounds like my tank. If you have a filter then you need to replace or clean it on a regular basis. You may need to remove the fish from the tank and clean it. If you do then take some water from the tank that the fish are in and put it in another container. Take the fish out of their tank and put them in their old water in the new container. Drain all the old water out of the tank and rinse/wash all the rocks, gravel, plants, and other things that were in the tank. Wash the walls of the tank. Make sure that you rinse any soap off of the tank and the rocks and stuff before you put new water back in it. Fill the tank with clean water. You may need to treat the water for chlorine if you used city tap water. Do not put the fish back into the tank until the new water temperature is the same as the water they are in now. We don't want them to go into shock. You may want to buy a sucker fish and a couple of snails. They will eat the alge that grows on the glass and everything else. Good luck. I have to go clean my tank. Thanks for reminding me.
To do a full water change in a fish tank, first, unplug any electrical equipment. Remove the fish and place them in a separate container with some of the old tank water. Drain all the water from the tank. Clean the tank and decorations with warm water, avoiding soap or chemicals. Refill the tank with dechlorinated water at the same temperature as the old water. Acclimate the fish back to the tank by gradually adding some of the new water to their container before releasing them. Plug in the equipment and monitor the water parameters to ensure the fish's health.
you can buy water treatment for it at a petstore, when you buy it, put all the fish in a new jar or tank with fresh water with the ich ointment in it the same temperature as the old tank and make sure to filter the water so there is no chlorine, and put the fish in that, them dump the old tank out and clean everything with some kind of safe natural cleaner and rinse the hell out of it, then put the fish back in it, and use common sense. please..
Betta fish will not be harmed if they are in a filtered tank. If the new tank is about the same size as the old tank you should use the old water or most of it in the new tank. If the new tank is larger so you have to add lots of new water then you should fill the new tank with the new water and let it sit (preferably with the filter running) for two or three days before adding the fish. Also when you move the fish make sure the new tank is at the same temperature as the old tank.
To properly care for your old betta fish, ensure it has a clean and spacious tank with a stable water temperature between 75-80F. Feed it a balanced diet of high-quality betta fish food and avoid overfeeding. Regularly clean the tank and replace a portion of the water to maintain good water quality. Monitor your betta fish for any signs of illness and consult a veterinarian if needed.
Normally you don't really need to clean the filter unless the flow is too low. If this is the case, you will want to rinse any filter media in a clean bucket of old tank water. Do not rinse filter media in tap water as this will kill off all your good bacteria for your tank.
== If it is Algea you should empty the fish tank and put the fish into a bucket. Then you should clean the tank after that i would recommend buying sucker fish and a under gravel filter as i had this problem!! if it is not this i recommend going to a fish store and asking them about it!!!
To effectively reseal a leaking fish tank, you will need to drain the tank completely and remove any old silicone sealant. Clean the area thoroughly and apply a new bead of aquarium-safe silicone sealant along the seams. Allow the sealant to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before refilling the tank with water.
no!! they can hurt ur fish!
