How do you clean fish tank pebbles?

Pebbles are not a smart thing to have in a fish tank. You are now experiencing one of the several reasons they should not be used. The only way I know of to clean pebbles is to actually remove them from the tank and then scrub them individually. Experienced aquarists either have a bare tank policy or they use an inch or two of fairly fine gravel substrate in which they grow plants to make the aquarium look more natural and provide cover for the fish.


What sort of tank should you use for tropical fish?

Use a tropical fish tank, preferably new. That way you know that it should not leak. Try to avoid using a tank that was used for something other than tropical fish. I prefer glass tanks over acrylic because they are less likely to mark or look dirty and they are easier to keep clean. Most aquarists will tell you to start off with a small tank and as you enjoy it more and more, you can opt a larger tank. When I started into tropical fish and as I bought larger tanks I used the smaller tank for breeding. Tropical fish tanks and supplies are available in most pet stores that sell tropical fish.

What is the green slime growing on your fish tank?

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.


How does the fish tank background go on?

To attach a fish tank background, first clean the back of the tank and let it dry. Then, use clear tape or a background adhesive to secure the background to the back of the tank, making sure to smooth out any air bubbles. Finally, trim any excess material for a clean finish.

The tank you have described is extremely small and should not be used to house any fish. 1 gallon is not enough space for a fish to swim around, and it will most likely have a very short life if kept in this tank

How do you move a full grown Oscar from the upstairs to downstairs safely?

This is not an easy job. Get a clean 5 gallon bucket. Not an old one, but a new one that has never been used. Clean it with WATER. No soaps, no detergents. Take enough water out of the tank to fill the bucket. Place the fish in the bucket. Drain the tank enough to make it light enough for two or three people to carry without dropping it. BE CAREFUL! Once the tank is downstairs, refill the tank. De-chlorinate the water. Add the proper amounts of aquarium salts and Stress Zyme. Try to get the tank refilled as close to the original temperature as possible. Place the Oscar back into the tank and leave it alone for several hours. It will shock a bit, but the fish should be back to normal in a day or two. Oscars are hearty and tough fish. Good luck!


1 gallon tank what type of fish can you put in it?

A 1 gallon tank could have one betta fish, but you will need to be diligent about changing the water on a regular basis. The smallest tank that should be used, even for a betta, is a 2.5 gallon tank as it at least gives the fish swimming room.
