Aquariums

Em K asked:


i just bought a 10 gal aquarium and the filter is very noisy. i was wondering if it would be fine to turn it off at night and keep it running during the day.

I am going to buy a 10 gallon aquarium and put a chinese algae eater, 2 male swordtails, 1 male and 1 female dwarf gourmis, an albino rainbow shark, and 2 nerite snails. The aquarium will have a 5 inch bubble stone and a 15 gallon air pump. The aquarium will be heated to 78 degrees. There will be no live plants. I am leaning towards getting an aqua-tech 5-15 gallon box filter, but im not sure. I have heard alot of good things about bio-wheels. Im completely lost over wut kind of filter i should have. You guys always like specifics, hope that was specific enough, lol. Thanks for any answers!

When I go the the aquarium, I always wonder if the fish can see me (or the other people) looking at them.
I don’t mean from the open top of a small aquarium… I mean through the extremely thick glass of a public aquarium. We can see the fish, but I didn’t think they could see us because of the way the water affects the refraction of light… or something like that.
Yes I’ve been to an aquarium, it’s not a stupid question. Again, I’m talking about looking through the VERY thick glass wall… not through the open water, or a small inhome aquarium.

Hello. I was wondering if the following method can work.
My 10 gallon aquarium had water in it and two small fish for a week. According to tests the water has very little nitrate nitrites. I bought a cooked shrimp , put it in a jar, then poured the aquarium water over it. In one day the water became cloudy. I am thinking , can the needed bacteria develop there . And afterwards could I pour it in the aquarium?

Thanks, any advice is appreciated.

I heard a one gallon aquarium will do for now until it starts to grow, but that sounds too small. Anyone know what size aquarium I need? Thanks.
