Water changes are the best way to lower nitrates in an aquarium. Especially when the water is changed using a gravel washer, or aquarium 'vacuum'. Fish wastes can only really be broken down into nitrates (except in special marine aquariums). So the easier way is through regular water changes.

Why does a fish tank gives off a stench?
Hi, asker. A fish tank can give off a stench from a lack of poor tank hygiene or a lack of cleaning. Poor tank hygienes can lead to fin rot which might infect your fish. Changing your tank water 50% a fortnight and washing might help reduce the risks of fin rot and also reduces the stench. Good luck & I hope the stench disappears!

it depends on how big it is if it is a goldfish or beta it can be in a bowl.If it is one of those big tiger fish or aqarium fish then put it in a big tank. A fish will grow to the size of the tank or bowl. For instance, say a goldfish is in a tank, it will not grow as big as the tank; however it will grow big enough to be able to swim in their environment. The fish will not overgrow the tank. I had a six inch goldfish in a thirty gallon tank.

That depends on what you mean to say. For example, if you have one angel fish in the tank you could say "That's the fish's tank" meaning that is the tank for the angel fish. If you also had a couple of clown fish, you could refer to the tank as belonging to all three fish by saying "That's the fishes' tank." Slightly different spelling and punctuation
