Why is your fish tank losing water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are losing water in your tank, it is probably because of evaporation. No matter if you have a fish bowl or a fish tank, if it's in direct sunlight, the water's gonna evaporate. Another way you could be losing water is something called "fish intake". Most fish absorb water through their skin, and they replace it with their... bodily fluids. And most of what the fluids are is carbon dioxide and other things that take the place of water. Now there's more air in there and less water. Hope you find this useful!

P.S.-- If you find that the water is lower because of fish intake, add a bit of water IMMEDIATELY!!! The lack of water means lack of oxygen. Your fish could suffocate!

P.P.S-- On that cheerful note, good-bye!

Does a cold water tank need to be removed when you do a loft conversion?

ChatGPT

The necessity to remove a cold water tank during a loft conversion depends on various factors, including the type of loft conversion, the new use of the space, and the existing plumbing system. Here are some considerations:

Type of Loft Conversion:

Dormer Conversion: In some dormer loft conversions, where a new extension is added to the existing roof, the cold water tank may need to be relocated to accommodate the new space layout.

Hip-to-Gable or Mansard Conversion: These types of loft conversions may not impact the existing water tank, as they generally involve changes to the roof structure rather than the floor plan.

Space Utilization:

If the loft conversion involves using the entire loft space for habitable purposes, the water tank might need to be relocated to free up space. This is common when creating bedrooms or living spaces in the loft.

Plumbing Considerations:

The cold water tank is typically part of the plumbing system that supplies water to the property. If the loft conversion alters the plumbing layout or requires changes to the water supply, the tank may need to be adjusted or moved.

Building Regulations:

Compliance with building regulations is essential. The local building control authority may have specific requirements regarding the relocation or removal of cold water tanks during loft conversions.

Alternative Systems:

Some loft conversions may involve the installation of alternative water systems, such as pressurized hot water systems or combi boilers, eliminating the need for a cold water tank in the loft.

It's crucial to consult with a professional architect, builder, or structural engineer to assess the specific requirements of your loft conversion project. They can provide guidance on whether the cold water tank needs to be removed, relocated, or if alternative solutions can be implemented to ensure compliance with building regulations and practicality within the new space.

How long can a goldfish live?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Usually a goldfish will live to be 1 month to a year but sometimes some goldfish live to be 3 years old others are even more lucky that they can live to be over 20
a gold fish can live for 3 weeks........................................................................................................................... O.o they live a lot longer than 3 weeks. If that is how long yours are living then you are definitely doing something wrong. The longest living goldfish was 43 YEARS old. Putting them in a bowl shortens there life considerably but you still get a few years out of it.

Where are goldfish now found?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In China, then they went to Korea, Japan, and Europe. They were bred from wild types of carp, around 960-1279 AD .

Here is a bit more information for you in addition to what someone typed above!

The Goldfish, Carassius auratus, was one of the earliest fish to be domesticated, and is still one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish and water garden fish. A relatively small member of the carp family, the goldfish is a domesticated version of a dark-gray/brown carp native to East Asia. It was first domesticated in China,960-1279 and introduced to Europe in the late 17th century. Goldfish can grow to a maximum length of 23 inches (159 cm) and a maximum weight of 9.9 pounds (4.5 kg), although this is rare; few goldfish reach even half this size. The oldest recorded goldfish lived to 49 years, but most household goldfish generally live only six to eight years, due to being kept in bowls. The collective noun for a group of goldfish is a "troubling."

In 1162, the Empress of the Song Dynasty ordered the construction of a pond to collect the red and gold variety of those carp. By this time, people outside the imperial family were forbidden to keep goldfish of the gold (yellow) variety, yellow being the imperial color. This is probably the reason why there are more orange goldfish than yellow goldfish, even though the latter are genetically easier to breed.

During the Tang Dynasty, it was popular to dam carp in ponds. As the result of a dominant genetic mutation, some of these carp displayed gold (actually yellowish orange) rather than silver coloration. People began to breed the gold variety instead of the silver variety, and began to display them in small containers.

The fish were not kept in the containers permanently, but would be kept in a larger body of water, such as a pond, and only for special occasions at which guests were expected would they be moved to the much smaller container.

The occurrence of other colors was first recorded in 1276. The first occurrence of fancy tailed goldfish was recorded in the Ming dynasty. In 1502, goldfish were introduced to Japan, where the Ryukin and Tosakin varieties were developed.In 1611, goldfish were introduced to Portugal and from there to other parts of Europe. Goldfish were first introduced to North America around 1850 and quickly became popular in the United States

The Shubunkin goldfish was developed by Japanese goldfish breeders that wanted to create a brightly coloured goldfish that still had the physical strength and survival skills of the common goldfish. Shubunkins are the result of selective crossings between Comet goldfish and Calico Fantail goldfish.

The least popular animal in the US and perhaps in the world is a snake. Although snakes are often kept as pets, more people are afraid a of snakes than any other animal. Snakes can startle you and are cold and perceived to be slimy. Additionally, all snakes can bite, and some are extremely poisonous. Snakes have their admirers, but by and large most people would rather avoid them.

The male will kill the female after he spawns her. If she won't spawn he will still kill her. No male Betta will allow another Betta (male or female) to live in its vicinity. So the answer is NO.

How can you tell if comet goldfish is a male or female?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A male has more of a V shaped tail. A female has more of a U or a rounded V and

First if your comets are not at least 2 years of age, they won't breed.

Males vent openings are concave or sunken in while the females vent opening is convex or poking out. The males have firmer dorsal fins and are more streamline than the females. The females are heavier in the abdomen area than the males.

Breeding tubers won't appear on the males gillcovers or fins until spawn. That is to say you don't have two females or two males.

They will breed once they are old enough and if they are male and female

What is the weight of a 30 gallon fish tank full of water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the tank is actually filled to the brim (tanks never are) the water would weigh 8.35lbs x 30gallons which is 250.5 lbs. To obtain an accurate total weight you would have to add in the weight of the sand/gravel substrate, and the rocks (decore) and the weight of the empty tank. Then you would subtract the weight of the top 1 inch or so that is always left empty.

Do betta fish need light at night?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, bettas, like all living animals, need the regular cycle of night and day. Bettas also usually relax/sleep during the night because they feel like they're in a cave and more secure. Constant light can be stressful for the fish. Even in the day, do NOT keep them in direct sunlight as this will cause the temperature to flunctuate (very stressful) or overheat, as well as promote algae growth.

No, they do not need light at night, they enjoy light but, do not keep them too close to the sun as, this may cause discomfort. They are quite easy to care for, as long as they are provided a clean environment and are fed once a day. They can live for years and years! It is usually 3-4 in a bowl and in a tank 7-8. Have fun with your betta!

Will shubunkin's breed with goldfish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Shubunkin is just a fancy name given to a specifically coloured Goldfish. Breeding one with a Golden coloured goldfish will result in about 33% that look like a Shubunkin and 33% that look like a Golden coloured goldfish and 33% that look like a mixture of the two. The above results would only be accurate if the breeder fish are properly line bred and their lineage is guaranteed. Otherwise you could get anything from coloured goldfish to uncoloured goldfish and a mixture of any kind of goldfish including Comets, Fantails and Veiltails.
