Piranha Home Aquarium

As the water cools, pond fish require less protein in their diet. When koi and goldfish are fed high-protein food in cool water, the excess protein is excreted as ammonia from the gills. The microscopic organisms that make up the biological filter (and consume ammonia) als

Additional airstones, fluid-moving pumps are great at eliminating anaerobic zones, moving wastes to filters, and speedy processing/removal.

Aeration:

Likewise cannot be easily overdone. Beware of the dangers of too fine bubbles (smaller than 0.1 mm) by limiting their possible exposure within a contactor or skimmer.

Filter Basics:

Removing Organics.

in the form of nitrogenous wastes (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates), phenols, scatols and much more is the principal goal of filtrati

(there is no clear dividing line in which nitrate is absolutely harmful; conditioned fishes and invertebrates have been cultured in water of several hundred (even thousands) ppm. All that can be agreed is less is better.)

5) pH, within a range of 8.0 to 8.5 ideally.

6) Temperature, 72-80 degrees Fahrenheit. (Periodically higher, not generally a problem for tropical systems. Stability more important than any given point.)

At first, the fry cannot swim, but they squirm "en masse" on the rock, living off the egg sac, for about 4 days. The parents constantly attend to their young at this time. Feeding these fry is easier than other breeds, because of the baby Oscars relatively large size. A good and simple plan is to crush regular processed flake food in your fingers, and just drop it in. Turn off filtration d

Larger tank can be changed once a week. And notice if the ammonia and nitrite levels are up the roof, because both are very bad for your Betta. Also be wary of harmful bacteria they can ruin your fish life, but dont kill of all bacteria in the aquarium since a lot of bacteria is essential for a well functioning aquarium.

During the pre-spawning period you can feed a wide variety of food, including blackworms, Grindal worms, fruit flies, brine shrimp, mosquito larvae and frozen blood worms (all are life except the frozen blood worms). During thi

Id say a dark room, no flash, and a wide aperture. Try using different camera speeds.

Aquarium lighting

Aquarium lighting in one of the key aspects in both the reef aquarium and the freshwater aquarium. It gives the animals a natural activity and rest period and it makes the plants, corals grow. Invertebrates and corals need it to surviv.

Are airstones bad for reef tanks?
I have noticed that nobody uses airstones in their reef tanks like people with freshwater tanks do to decorate. Are they bad for reefs?.

Primary Food Groups of Marine Fishes
The very best food you can give your tank critters is exactly what they ate in the wild. The Food Groups of Marine Fishes Table shows you what they ate....
