Aquarium Maintenance

A RODI is a Reverse Osmosis De-ionizer used for purifying water, especially in reef tanks.

No, the only way to remove nitrate (or keep it to safe levels) is to do regular weekly water changes of at least 50%. Products such as Amquel or Prime can detoxify nitrates, but the nitrates will still be present.

The difference between external filters and internal filters is the quality of water cleanliness.
An HOB (Hang On Back) filter can do a great job on a small tank that is not over-stocked with fish provided you take proper care of your tank; many people run more than one HOB on their tank depending on the tank size, and the fish.

External filters are much larger, typically sit on the floor beside the tank, or in a cabinet underneath the tank, and they are a fully enclosed system which can hold more filter media than an HOB; these are more typical of larger aquarium setups.

First of all you should have a 30 gallon tank or larger. If it is a small Oscar feed it pellets or small feeder fish. When it gets bigger, 10-12 inches, you can feed it large feeder fish and pellets. Make sure to have a heater, a thermometer, an air pump, gravel, and some decorations. Your Oscar may do good with other larger fish but never anything smaller than 2 inches. The only disease your Oscar can get is hole in the head disease. Oscars are very intelligent fish, do not underestimate them. Make sure you always have a tight fitting top so your Oscar won't jump out. Remarkably, Oscars can recognize their owners, even their own name! Oscars are very fun to keep and I would recommend getting one. Oh one other thing, get 1 Oscar or get 5 or more because more than one and less than 5 Oscars will fight and 1 or 2 Oscars may die.

An online store titled "MarineDepot" has reviews of different types of filters for sale. Another excellent place to check out is a website called "Aquarium Filter Reviews." They have reviews for hang-on type filters, canister filters, sponge filters, specialized custom-made filters and wet/dry made filters as well. Also, websites such as Amazon will have reviews of a particular type of aquarium filter you may be interested in purchasing if you shop there.

Fascinating. But the many different species behave differently and have different methods of courting and spawning and fertilising the ova.

You could have a school of neon tetras (approx 6), or 1 fancy goldfish

Most likely you have high Nitrates, which will lower your pH, or you just changed water, and used water that you don't usually use, or you added something that changed it.

What!? Interesting thought...

Terrarium maybe?

Hmm? Thank you for that question.

Salt water probably the colorful rocks and stuff like that

That is just the bacteria cycle you have to pass the first pH, ammonia, nitrate and nitrite cycles before you add fish you need to wait 3 weeks better too wait 1 month to be on the safe side.

In a way but not best use of the term. Appliance implies kitchen device

Yes you can, but be careful about the amount and frequency of using it as it can dry out rubber seals and shorten their lifespan requiring frequent replacing

You fill it as high as you can with the occupants and equipment you have. Some fish are more apt to jump than others if you do not have a aquarium top.

It's not recommended to put coins in a Betta fish tank. Coins can leach harmful metals into the water, which can be toxic to fish. Additionally, coins can create sharp edges that may injure your Betta. Instead, consider using aquarium-safe decorations designed for fish tanks.

While a fish tank on a kitchen side above a washing machine may experience some vibrations during the washing cycle, it is unlikely that these vibrations would be harmful enough to kill the fish. Most fish can tolerate minor vibrations, and as long as the tank is properly maintained and the water conditions are stable, the fish should be fine. However, it's essential to monitor the tank for any unusual stress signs in the fish and ensure that the tank is securely placed to prevent any accidents.
