UV can effectively eliminate cloudy water due to bacterial blooms and reduce the spread of nuisance algae in the tank.
Mollies are the best ways to eradicate and manage algae growth in a saltwater aquarium, especially in newly setup tanks.
There are quite a few aquatic plants that survive without a substrate namely Java fern, Java moss, Hornwort, Anacharis, Duckweed etc. Duckweed would be a good and easier choice and it's said that goldfish love eating…
Marimo Moss Ball are probably my favorite as they are compact, grow over time, and actually absorb a lot of toxins in the aquarium. I have 3 or 4 in my tank at this point but the largest one expanded over some rocks so…
What about hides? It would seem like many of them require some sort of place where they can feel safe and secure and not just out in the open. That's the major advantage of planted aquarium over bare bottom tanks.…

My question would be is there any fish without scales? If at all, does it exist now?

Live aquatic plants in no substrate?
Suggest some live aquatic plants that do not need substrate to thrive in the aquarium?
Maybe that's how initially most of them think having a fish tank i suppose. Even I seriously thought there won't be much maintenance while owning a fish tank. The one and only duty for us is to feed them. Now I feel, I…
Actually Goldfish, Bettas, and Minnows will do just fine in a bare-bottom tank. Also, each species requires certain requirements with the tank. So the water type and temperature needs has to be checked.
