What kind of fresh water fish don't need a heater other than goldf fish?

It is best that all fish have a filter besides Betta fish. Betta fish don't need filters cause the filter pushes them over with their big fins. Goldfish should have a filter on there tank because they are often overfed. If you have a filter you won't have to change the water as often. The only fish that shouldn't have a filer in captivity are Betta fish.

Do fish need air?

They need oxygen definitely to survive. They get this from filtration through their gills. As far as light is concerned, they do not need light to survive as many live below the layer in the ocean that light can permeate. There are fish that lice in total darkness. They have adapted over the years to exist in these conditions.


Why is water important to fish?

Water is important to fish because it provides oxygen for their respiration, helps regulate their body temperature, and serves as a medium for waste removal and nutrient absorption. Water also supports their buoyancy and allows them to move and hunt for food.


How much water do fish need?

From what I understand it is at least 2 gallons of water per inch of fish. More water is always better than less. Remember fish need room to move around and swim. The typical fishbowl one might buy from the store is not sufficient for most fish and as an aside, the shape of those types of bowls negatively affects the fish's respiration. Best to get a regular shaped tank (square, rectangle, etc.) and use more than enough water.

When do you do your first water change in an aquarium that is going through the break in period?

As soon as nitrates have reached zero. Don't ever change more than 20% water a week. If you have fish in the tank during the cycling process you will need to change some water if the nitrates are in the deadly range to keep your fish alive. Otherwise I recommend an additive such as Prime to keep nitrates from killing fish during cycling.

All fish need at least a 50% water change weekly. Good practice is to change 10% daily and 50% weekly. It is assumed that the tank is large enough for the fish (1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water) and filtered properly too.
