In a fish tank, you should put items such as a filter, heater (if needed), gravel or substrate, decorations like plants or caves for hiding, and of course, water conditioning products to make the environment safe for fish. Additionally, you need to add fish that are compatible with each other and the tank size.


How long is a new fish tank considered mature?

For a freshwater tank, its safe to add fish after the the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels are safe for fish. Ammonia and nitrite should be at 0 ppm and nitrate levels should be very low, under 50 ppm. You should also make sure that other parameters are safe for the species of fish that will be living in the tank.

Ddo fish floating in a pon add weight to the overall weight of the water?

Yes, fish do add weight to the overall weight of the water in a pond. This is because the fish has mass, which adds to the mass of the water. As the fish swims around in the pond, it displaces the water in the pond, which adds to the overall weight of the water in the pond. Furthermore, when a fish excretes waste or urine, it adds to the overall weight of the water in the pond. The additional organic matter in the water, such as food particles and other organic materials, also add to the overall weight of the water in the pond.

Can you tell why we put pond weed in a fish tank?

Pondweed can be placed in a tank to create a pleasant scene, or to add extra oxygen to the water. The downside is that the pondweed could introduce fish diseases or water snails to the tank. Always use a special sterilising solution on the pondweed before introducing to the tank.


How many fish can you put in a 380 gallon pond?

If the pond is at least 3 feet deep, you may be able to put a few Koi, but they can grow very large (up to 2 feet in size!) and can outlive their owners. This is also going to depend on the climate where you live, if you have many plants, moving water to add oxygen etc. Standard Koi ponds are typically a minimum of 1000 gallons.


How do you introduce koi carp to your pond?

Place the container the fish is in in the pond and using a thermometer allow the temperatures to equalise. Failing that, have the fish in a bucket half filled with their original water and add 1 cupfull of water from the pond into the bucket each 5-10 minutes. Once things have equalised lower the bucket of fish into the pond gently and once the bucket is submerged tip it so the fish will swim out.


How do you move koi fish from pond to pond?

You can simply fill up a cooler with your pond water and move the fish. Once you get to the new home, slowly add the new water to the cooler because the fish will go into shock from the immediate temperature change. The process should take around 20 to 30 minutes.


Do fish get in pond with someone breeding fish in their home?

I'm not sure if you are not a native English speaker (English being a first language) but I am going to go out on a limb here and assume that you are asking if you can raise fish in a pond that you are breeding in a home aquarium? In a nutshell it depends on the type of fish that you have, the location (geographically) of your pond, whether or not the pond has circulation and/or water features such as a feeder stream, waterfall, or fountain, and what other species of fish or animal live in or around your pond. Most pond keepers keep goldfish or koi as these are coldwater fish that can be kept outdoor all year round provided that the pond is deep enough and their basic needs are meet. Because they are cold water fish they usually over winter even under ice or snow, and will be relatively unaffected until spring and summer return. Tropical fish can be added to ponds (even with existing koi or other fish) provided that they are introduced during warmer months and depending upon their size and disposition. People who keep tropicals and goldfish together generally either remove the tropicals when it starts to get colder, or in some cases add heating units to the pond. If there are no goldfish already in the pond then you may add tropical fish, but be aware that they will possibly have to contend with dragonfly larvae or diving beetles which are voracious fish predators. As a rule these generally prey only on smaller fish. But they are a consideration. You may also lose small or brightly coloured tropicals to herons, racoons, cats, or other predators. You have to think and plan carefully before adding tropicals to an existing pond. Good luck! - Erik Brush 40 years aquarium & pond experience. Marine Biologist.

Can you put chlorine in your pond?

It is not recommended to add chlorine directly to a pond, as it can harm fish, plants, and other aquatic life. If you need to treat a pond for algae or bacteria, use pond-specific products that are safe for the environment. It is important to follow manufacturer instructions and consider the impact on the ecosystem.
