33" x 22" x 12" = 8712 cubic inches. 231 cubic inches of water = 1 US Gallon so 8217 divided by 231 = 37.7 gallons "Nominal" capacity. (Full to the brim) Tanks are normally filled to within 1 inch of the top and usually have an average of 2 inches of gravel substrate on the base displacing water, so tanks never actually hold their "Nominal" capacity. What all this means is that the tank will probably hold around 30 gallons of water when in use.
I don't know all ten. But I'm sure that the top tree are:
- Dubai Aquarium (United Arab Emirates)
- Georgia Aquarium (United States of America)
- Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium (Japan)
Cold water freshwater fish include goldfish and koi. If you are thinking of getting a goldfish they need at least a 20 gallon tank each. They also poop a lot which brings up ammonia levels. On the bright side, cold water fish don't need a heater. =)
They may be hungry. Usually fish will "break water" to feed. Go to a pet shop and get a little book on guppies and that will help you raise them. Good luck Marcy I would also recommend having the water tested by an aquarium store. High Ammonia and or Nitrite levels will cause them to go to the surface and appear to be "gasping for air". Acceptable parameters are less than 2ppm of Ammonia and less than 25 mg/L of Nitrite. Also watch other tank inhabitants closely since guppies by nature are very timid fish and do not tolerate aggression very well. If other fish are harassing them, their only refuge is often the surface of the aquarium.
In the tropics, days and nights are of approximately equal length so 12 hours on and 12 hours off should be OK. For coldwater fish there can be more variation but i would advise that lights are not left on for more than 15 hours otherwise you are more than likely to have algae problems
The green is water born algae. Algae is natures creation that is designed to clean up water. Whenever there is a supply of light and plant food and water combined, algae will form to clean up and make use of the plant food and light. In a fish tank it indicates there is either too much light, too much food (CO2 and N. P. K.) or a combination of both so nature is trying to clean it up. Firstly you could try cutting down on the amount of light or the length of time there is light or both. You could also add water plants to go into competition with the algae for the light and food. You may find it necessary to strip the tank down and start again from scratch if the algae has too great a hold over things.

There are thousands of freshwater plants to choose from! Selecting a plant depends on your tank size-hight, what fish you have in it, your lighting, filtration, C02 or none, substrate, use of fertilizers or not and many more variables. Live plants can be a complicated hobby if you'd wish for your plants to thrive.
The best thing to do is research research research!
Or...throw in anacharis! (plant found almost everywhere and seems to thrive in anything)
Fish are cold blooded animals and rely on the temperature of the water for their heat. There are some fish (Tuna) that are reported to have a method of heating their bodies above ambient temperature by extreme exertion.
Not necessarily 'change' it - but certainly clean it regularly. As a cleansing product - I swear by 'Milton Fluid' (the stuff you sterilize baby bottles with). Once a week, wash the gravel in a solution of half a cap of Milton to two gallons of water. Let the gravel sit in the water for at least an hourto allow time for the fluid to work. Rinse the gravel thoroughly in clean water at least three times - to get rid of any Milton residue.
Leave the gravel to dry for a couple of hours before you put it back in the cage. One option would be to have another quantity of gravel already cleaned so you can 'swap' it over instead of having to wait for it to dry.
The machine used in fish tanks that makes bubbles is called an air pump or air stone. It add oxygen to the water and keeps the oils from coating the tank.
Well, a 3 gallon definetly limits your choices....here are some fish that would fit in there. Japanese Fighting Fish (a.k.a., betas) would not be compatible with many fish, including ghosties, so they are usually by themselves. Anyway, here's the fish that may work:
White Cloud Mountain Minnows:
White cloud mountain minnows are small and don't need a heated aquarium, so they're perfect for a two or three gallon aquarium. Since they're under they are so small, they are nice to keep in school.
Least Killifish:
Least Killifish are very small. These fish are related to the guppy, which makes them ideal for a small, unfiltered aquarium, though they need warmer temperatures. They may be hard to find in stores.
Guppies: Guppies may be good for a 3 gallon as well. Guppies can be beautiful, but do not get a male and a female unless you want a ton of guppies that overpopulate your tank. These fish are nice community fish, but aren't really that much of schoolers.
DO NOT, Do Not, i beg you do not get GOLDFISH! They will easily get way too big for a 3 gallon!
hope i helped!
there are a lot of ways to keep your fish alive for a long time.some of them are
One way to tell the sex of your neon tetra is that the males tend to be more slender, and the females tend to be a bit more round. Additionally, the line that runs along the body of a male tetra will be straight, while on the female, it will bend a bit.
That all depends upon how much damage was done to the fish while it was in there and how much damage was done getting it out. They have been known to survive similar traumas. Have you considered putting some kind of cover/sieve/sponge over the inlet to avoid this happening again?
Primarily it would be the mineral content. There are a number of additives that could be applied: PH Buffers, PH setters, PH Ups, PH Downs, substrates, some types of rocks, mineral additives, mineral depleters, waterchanges, etc.
Test your water and make sure that your ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites are at proper levels. If they are not, change 20% of your water no more often than every 2 days. Make sure to test your water before you change it again, in case you don't need to.
Once you are sure your water is at proper quality, treat with antibiotics you can buy at the pet store. Make sure to keep your water quality and filtration is in tip top shape, because fin rot usually is caused by substandard water.
Goldfish lay about 50 to 100 eggs but most don't even make it because they are eaten by other fish. Goldfish usually lay the eggs in the spring because they don't like the climate change. the eggs will hatch in about 48 to 72 hours.

If you are emptying all the water from the tank and cleaning it for storage then cleaning the tank with a solution of 10% or less bleech in water would be okay. Be sure to rinse the tank well. After it has dried over a period of time the bleach will have dissipated to the air.
*keep in mind bleach should net be used on porous fish tank decorations.
Actually, goldfish do have a stomach, but it's very small, probably about the size of one of their eyes.
