White vinegar is definitely the one to go for when it comes to getting stains off a glass tank. It gets the stains off and it helps to keep the glass smear free which can be a pain when you use any other cleaning…
I remember when I had my tank you would notice that the water had dropped within about a week and because of that I would always top mine up every 7 days or so depending on how far it had dropped within that time. I…
It really varies on the fish and the kind of fish you have. I would feed them and see how they react after being fed. Some fish only need feeding maybe once a day and others maybe only once every few days. If you keep…
With the fish we have had in the past and the ones I have had in the past, we have usually fed them flakes or pellets. The ones inside were fed flakes and they seemed happy with those but the ones we used to have…

Feeding time
I always used to feed mine in a morning not long after I got up and then on an evening before I went to bed and that always seemed to work. It's amazing to see how they soon adapt to that routine and will expect the…
No, I can't say that I source all my food from the same company. In most cases some companies do offers on food which can really be a help at times and some of the deals they do are always great, so I never really want…

how often to feed live?
Are you looking to only feed them live food or are you looking to do a mixture? It is recommended to feed your fish in a saltwater tank at least twice a day, but I feel if you may be doing a mix of live and processed it…
Clownfish are the most recommended that I see when it comes to people asking for advice on what to start out with when they start a saltwater tank. Clownfish are very easy to take care of which is perfect for a…
I tend to feed them about once a day, twice if needed but never any more than that. I usually feed them not long after I get up in a morning after I have made a drink and somewhat woken up myself and then I will feed…
I can't say I have no as much as I would love for that to be the case and for me to be able to experience that opportunity it has never arisen which is a shame. I guess in all the times I have owned and looked after…
Yes, it wasn't too often but there were times when I had my tank that I would be moving things or sorting things out in the tank and the fish would get a little scared and would bite. It was never anything that caused…
It really does depend for me, if the fish fit in the tank and they seem happy in the tank then I will keep them rather than move them to sell them as I feel moving them just for the sake of moving them doesn't do them…
If you are a beginner looking for a good saltwater fish to start out with, I have heard that the Fire fish is a great starter fish. They can tolerate a wide range of water conditions which is great when you are a…
I did start out buying my fish from just one store but unfortunately it got to the point where I was getting fish and they were dying without me even knowing the reason behind it. No matter what I did I would lose fish…
Mine without a doubt would have to be the Regal Angelfish. It is such a beautiful angel fish and the colors on it are just amazing and it really is one of those eye-catching fishes that you just love to look at. There…

Sad memories
I guess my saddest memory would be when we had a tank when I used to live at my parents when I was younger. We had a huge standing fish tank in the bay area in front of the window in the home and one morning we woke to…
One of the things I always like to know is how my fish are doing in their tank, it's something I would overly worry about it I did not check regularly so I make it a point to do so. I always make sure to check my fish…

Green Water in fish tank
If you have green water when it comes to an aquarium you will find that the culprit is more than likely algae. This can come from a number of reasons including too much light or sunlight. If you are finding that you…
You probably notice that algae once it starts growing will just sprout and continue to grow rapidly. More so in pools and also in aquariums when they are in the sunlight you will notice it the most. Algae can also grow…
That definitely looks like Brown Diatoms, I remember getting this a lot in my tanks and I got super frustrated by it as I would clean it and it would just keep coming back. I ended up looking into it and that was when I…
