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.


How do you stop your fish from gasping for air?

If your fish are swimming up to the surface and gasping for air it a sure sign that there is not enough oxygen in the tank; another sign may be an increased flaring of the gills. You need to buy a filter for the tank (or if you already have one a stronger filter) in order to more efficiently replenish the oxygen supply. If the 'tank' is a small bowl, change the water more often. You don't take them out of the water.

How do you a tank?

when you clean a fish tank you should only do a 5 or 10% water change. You should wipe any algae off the glass, filter of objects in the tank using a new cloth as any soaps that get in the water will kill the fish. After this the water may be cloudy but the filter should clear this within a few hours. You should never do a 100% water change as this much change will overwhelm the fish and could kill them.

Is reverse osmosis water system for home use and for fish tank the same?

Home use often has a tank for the water, but the RO is the same. Many people often add a DI unit for their fish tank, but this is not used for home. In addition, sometimes, the RO membrane people use for fish tank is one designed to remove more silicates and this is not needed at home. Having said all that, the home RO water is fine for fish tanks!
