Aquariums

Hicktowngirl66 asked:


I see people putting very large (I assume also very heavy) rocks, and other decor .. is there a weight limit on how heavy things should be when put in an aquarium?

I went to a popular pet store for plants for my aquarium, I seen and bought a bambo, “underwater” plant.. they explained that it was trained to live underwater, if i took a regular plant and put it in my tank it would “drown” and conversly if i took the trained underwater bambo out in the air it would die…to much oxygen… How’d they do that?

HI there,
Everytime I turn off the aquarium lights the fish dart around half blind and in shock. I turn on the other lights in the house so it’s not such a shock for them. Is there some kind of light I could get that won’t affect the plants that would maybe simulate a natural moonlight or something? Then maybe that could be turned off before bed and gives them time to adjust. What do you think? Thanks!
Well, I completely meant this as a serious question, but the fist answer made me laugh, so you at least get a thumbs up from me on that one. ha ha! I see some pretty cool aquarium lights, and my fish dart into the sand head down and are stressed, I **** it. But if no one else out there has a solution for this… I guess then they’re all eating fried fish…

How many fish should i use to cycle a 38 gallon aquarium?
Also, What size fish or what kind?
Are Blood Parrotts hearty enough?

Please dont say do a fishless cycle as that is not my plan.

I just added bubble stones to my aquarium. It smelled fine. But the other day, I replaced the water and gravel. Now, It smells aweful!!! It gets worse everyday. I use AquaSafe, and i can’t figure out what can make it smell so bad! It was fine before the water and gravel change, but neither are bad. Please help, it smells really bad!!!
The stones were fine at the beginning. It was after I switched the water and gravel. The aquaSafe probably didn’t do it because I used it before I switched the gravel and water.
No, i just replaced the water. Why would i need a filter. I just replaced everything! The air bubbles wouldn’t dislodge bacteria because there has to be bacteria to dislodge.
You guys aren’t reading my details. It’s a rather new tank. I put the fish in for about a week. I cleaned it out. I put new rock & plants. Now it stinks. Listen to what I have to tell you. And to those who are serious, thanks.
