Freshwater Aquariums

All species from the genus Hymenochirus (african dwarf frogs) grow to about 3,5 - 4 cm.

For building decorations and aquariums, I use pure clear silicone sealant which is also labeled "For Aquarium Use". Do not use silicone with any kind of algaecide in it (such as Silicone II at the hardware store) as the algaecide is toxic. Let the item dry until you don't smell fumes anymore and then it is safe to put into the tank or to fill with water. I also use aquarium epoxy (cut piece, knead, use), but it only comes in "stone" or "white" and both colors look like chewing gum in the aquarium. It dries rock solid, however, and is what I use when I will be able to completely hide the epoxied area. It works great for sealing pipe leaks and fittings and for building sumps.

None, algae indicates a problem that should be resloved.

After filling the tank and conditioning the water I like to give it a week or two till I stock it. Really it depends on the size of the tank, a 30 gallon can cycle in three to four days were a 75 gallon tank should be left to cycle for about two weeks

No species of fish will live for long in a tiny little container. Please read the following basic rules of fish keeping and follow them. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every fish tank needs a continuously running cycled filter. :- Every fish tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you follow the above rules you will have few problems keeping fish healthy. If you fail in any of them I can guarantee that your fish will constantly be getting sick and dying.

Although there are several species of fish known as "Clown" most are 'salt water fish'. No species of clown fish I know of could live for long in a container holding such a tiny amount of water (3 gallons approx). That size tank is large enough for 3x1" fish or 1 x 3" fish. Put another way 2.5cm of fish needs 4.25ltrs of water. The fresh water Clown Loach (Botia macracantha) needs to be kept in groups of 4 or more and grows to over 30cm. As mentioned earlier, the other fish known as 'Clowns' being salt water fish. It would not be a reasonable proposition to set up a marine aquarium that small.

The answer is found by multiplying the radius squared times pi(3.12) times the length to find the volume. 0.5ft. x 3.12 x 3ft. =1.57 ftcu. Now multiply the answer times a conversion factor of 7.48051948 to get gallons. 1.57ftcu. x 7.48051948 = 11.75 gal.

Oh, right away. Guppy females store sperm and they've got a chamber to hold it. They can maintain sperm in this chamber for up to a year. Basically, once you mate two guppies the female will get pregnant repeatedly from that one breeding.

Fish swim in order to move from place to place for whatever reason they choose.

Without light guppies (and most other species of fish) can not see one another so it would be extremely difficult for them to locate one another let alone breed successfully. Therefor I would say that the effect of light would be to 'enable' reproduction of guppies.

1 gallon of water = 231 cubic inches. To find the capacity (volume): L x W x D. 16 x 12 x 48 = 9216 cubic inches. Divide by 231 to find how many gallons of water. 9216 ÷ 231 = 39.896103 gallons.

A larva (plural form larvae) is a juvenile form of animal with indirect development, undergoing metamorphosis (for example, insects or amphibians). The larva can look completely different from the adult form, for example, a caterpillar differs from a butterfly. Caterpillars, for instance, eat leaves voraciously. Tadpoles (that become frogs when adult) love... lettuce! Hope this helps!

No. Amphibians are marked by a life cycle between a fish like state in which they are called Tadpoles and an adult state (often called frogs). When they hatch from an egg they are small tadpoles who mostly spend their time eating, growing, and avoiding predators. As the grow the develop legs, then loose their tail, they also loose their gills and develop lungs. At this point they then become adult frogs. Though there are other creatures that belong to the amphibian family (such as toads and salamanders) frogs are the most well known. Additionally not all frogs loose their gills and develop lungs (as some are aquatic and spend their whole lives underwater, but they still develop legs and loose their tail).

Goldfish on the other hand are part of a family of fish rather than amphibians. Amphibians likely evolved from some species of fish into a partially land dwelling animal. Fish however never develop lungs and remain aquatic (water living) animals their entire lives. They also don't undergo any similar changes. They keep their tails and never develop legs. Goldfish themselves belong to a subset of fish, and is closely related to carp, Koi fish, and other breeds of fancy goldfish such as Orando and Ryukin.

There are several cichlids that come under the general name of Mbuna. I believe they are all fairly large fish growing to around 7 or 8 inches . A large tank is required as is very alkaline, hard water.

if its rectangular, often 20" x 10" x 12"

if its a 10gal long, often 24" x 8" x 12"

if its a 10gal high, often 16" x 8" x 17"

if its a hexagon, often 14" x 12" x 18"

measurements are length x width x height in inches

exact measurements may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer due to glass thickness and whether they measure the inside of the tank or the outside of the tank.

Well all depends, were these fishes attacking you, swimming deep in the ocean. There are lots of different types of meaning depending of what your dream was all about.

In round figures it is nominaly a 65.9 US gallon tank. Please do not use that volume as the quantity of water it will hold when in use though. Tanks are never filled to the brim. They are usually filled to within an inch of the top and they usually have an average of 2 to 3 inchs of gravel (substrate) on the bottom and a few rocks as land/aquascaping. This amount of displacement would have to be taken into consideration. On average I would be counting on the tank actually holding more like 50 to 55 gals US.

Different locales in different countries will differ, however, locally here, around 2 to 3 dollars on the most common while some go for much more depending on rarity and type.

If you are refering to the Kissing gourami (Helostoma temmincki) they are peacefull fish that grow quite large so I would be keeping them with some of the larger Barbus and Danio species. I would also consider some of the mid size Cichlids, Plecostomus and Botias.

The female will have a black patch at the back where the babies come out of ,sometimes she may keep going to the top as she will be running out of breath alot but sometimes we dont notice and she may have a square belly at the front also if the male hangs around the female alot (underneath her)then that means she is ready to give birth soon because as soon as the fri(babies) are born then he will try and eat them ,so if you see any of them signs quickly buy a nursery tank and pop her in it.

If you have an over population of Guppy fish you might consider placing one of its natural predators in the tank for only a short time to reduce the over population : Oscar Fish, Jack Dempsey, Cichlids, or Paradise Fish. this new addition will need to be removed after the desired amount Guppies have been reduced.

From birth. All you need to do is grind up normal livebearer food to a size small enough for the fry to eat. As the fry get bigger so the food they eat can increase in size too.

no, guppies like to eat the big tails of the golden fish , and golden fish will die Goldfish tend to be a cold water fish, while guppies are tropical fish requiring temperatures between 72 and 80+ degrees Fahrenheit .
