Don't Let Your Pets Become Pests

Dumping anything out of an aquarium such as fish, animals, and plants can have devastating consequences for any natural waterbodies. When they’re dumped into the wild they can introduce diseases or become serious predators, killing off local fish colonies, and damaging reefs and vegetation that keep our underwater ecosystem alive and healthy.

Doing Water Changes With Saltwater Tanks

Performing regular water changes are fundamentally important to maintain the overall water chemistry inside of a closed ecosystem. The frequency on which one needs to do a water change on their specific tank will vary based on size, bioload, and other factors - however it is a required aspect to make sure that water chemistry is balanced as it will fluctuate through time.

    It’s very similar to live plants in freshwater that have an adjustment period, where they may look duller than normal for a few days to week and then they should brighten up. I would only be concerned if they start to loose all coloration (ex; turn…

    (Quote from Avery)

    100% recommend this, since you want to drip acclimate them. DO NOT put the old fish bag's water into your water, use a bucket to drip acclimate and then a net to put them into your tank when they are acclimated.

  • Avery Marked Avery’s post in the thread Fish Doctor? as the best answer.

    This is actually a good question, since many doctors exist for reptiles for example and other semi-aquatic animals (or even fully aquatic animals), but there aren’t vets that just specialize in fish for example. In many cases, some vets will take fish…

  • Avery Reacted with Like to Lammchen’s post in the thread Fish Doctor?.

    There are veterinarians for other types of pets, but has anyone heard of a fish doctor? I'm curious who you go to besides the pet store for help when your pet is not looking so great or has a disease?

  • Avery Replied to the thread UV Sterilizer with Refugium?.

    I’d say that it really depends on what part of the tank you’d want to place it in. I don’t think that it’s honestly common, but I’m sure you could add this to the output of the refugium where the water would cycle back into the tank to make…

  • Avery Replied to the thread Algae Eater Recommendation.

    Do you know specifically what type of algae you want them to consume? Shrimp, snails, and even some other common fish (ex; mollies) could be great for your tank and would get along with them all. Otherwise you may be looking at smaller algae eating fish…

  • Avery Replied to the thread How many....?.

    I think the most that I have ever added to a new tank, was about 30 neon tetras in a 48 gallon Bowfront tank that I had purchased used at the time. They were the first set of fish that I had added once it was done cycling, and the way they were playing…
