How do you make salt water for an aquarium?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Saltwater is generally made from commercially made salt (specifically for marine aquariums, not "aquarium salt" used for cichlid tanks) and filtered freshwater. Some people living near the ocean collect natural saltwater, but that can be polluted and usually needs to be filtered (which may cost more than making saltwater).

Go you petco or petsmart or anyother place that sells fish they should have instant ocean sea salt their the ratio it 1/2 cup of the salt per gallon read the box to make sure

How do you keep seahorses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most seahorses that are sold to for aquariums are bred in captivity so it doesn't impact the wild seahorses as much. Wild seahorses are also harder to keep alive because they are pickier about their food,

The other trade that uses seahorses is Chinese medicine. I don't know for sure, if those are wild caught or captive bred but I would imagine that captive breeding would be more cost effective.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends..some people like a deep bed because it will host bacteria that can break down the waste products such as nitrates, nitrites and ammonia.

This would be 4 to 6 inches.

What type of water do clown fish live in?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Quote from wikipedia:

Clownfish are native to warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans, including the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea. While most species have restricted distributions, others are widespread. Clownfish live at the bottom of the sea in sheltered reefs or in shallow lagoons. There are no clownfish in the Atlantic.

Answer:

Basically clown fish live in many areas in the world and i am quite sure that there actually some clownfish in the Alantic due to ppl releasing them into the wild as they do not want them as pets anymore. Also, they have a mutual syn-biotic relationship with anemones so you will find them near anemones.

Relationship:

The clown fish is immune to the anemone's poison so it hides in it for protection against predators and the clownfish lures "food" (fish) to the anemone.

How many babies will a clown fish have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Clownfish lay eggs externally, and the male fertilizes them later.

The amount of eggs laid varies greatly and depends on the variety of Clownfish that laid them.

Depending on the variety they may lay a batch as small as 15 or as many as a thousand in the wild. The amount they will lay in captivity varies greatly and depends on a number of factors within the tank.

Hope this helps!

What size fish tank would a Cory catfish need?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Technically, a 2 gallon tank for one Cory cat, 4 gallon tank for two Cory cats, and so on. The rule is one gallon per one inch of fish and Cory cats can grow to two inches, although the bigger tank the better. I would DEFINITELY not recommend a 2 gallon tank with one Cory cat. They like to be in groups and will be happier and healthier.
