What types of fish should I buy because I'm a beginner in this . I have a 1 feet tank . One more thing I have heard that live-bearers could be best But I want your suggestion. And also what other Things I should buy and can you tell me a site that ca
Without anything to use for scale, it is hard for me to tell how big your tank is, but in general it seems very small. Also, the water that is in the tank appears very cloudy right now, so that would be the first place to start. Water quality is very important, and will make or break your ability to house and care for fish. I would recommend getting a good filter system (you can visit a local pet store to assist you with brands in your area, as I am not familiar with what you can get in India). Be sure to bring the measurements (height, length, width) of your tank, or the gallons or liters so they can tell you what capacity of filter you will need. Everything else will depend on what types of fish you get - if you plan on getting multiple fish, they will need to be small - a general rule of thumb is one square inch of fish per gallon of water. Depending on the species you get, you may need to also get a bubbler to ensure there is enough oxygen in the water for them, and you will also

I have 2 glo fish what kind of tank should I get?
At the very least, a 10 gallon tank with a filter, heater, hood and light. Ideally, the tank should be up and running (without fish) until it cycles properly. This means there needs to be sufficient time for beneficial bacteria to colonize the tank and filter to be able to break down wastes, namely ammonia and nitrites and to a lesser degree, nitrates. This can take several weeks to occur. You can cycle a tank with fish in it, but it will require daily testing of water chemistry to prevent a toxic build up of ammonia and/or nitrites. Either can kill your fish if not treated.

I don't know what to feed my glass catfish we've tried shrimp pellets algae tablets in the flakes nothing seems to catch his attention so we are getting alive food next if live food doesn't work we will return him to the pet store
Glass catfish should be kept in groups of 5 or more or they will not feed properly. They will eat flakes better when there is competition from other glass catfish. Glass catfish do prefer other foods and need more than flakes. Try to get brine shrimp, blood worms, or California blackworms from your pet store. It is also important to keep them in a dusky environment, they do not like bright lights, and will be more active in the evening and night, and therefore also eat during that time. Water temperature should be around 75–81 °F, better at the high end.

I have a few problems in my cichlids tank currently. 1. There are these tiny white gnat like flying bugs coming out of the water? 2. Brown algae on the glass won’t go away! But I have snails and an eel so I don’t know what to use that won’t kill the
Those could be copepods. They are typically harmless and difficult to completely eradicate. On the good side, they are a sign of a healthy tank and are useful in eating decaying matter in the aquarium. The brown algae can be due to insufficient lighting or lighting periods. You can wipe down the glass and plants, perform a partial water change and increase lighting. It can take weeks to month to resolve. Use only aged or conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent stress or shock. Confirm stable water chemistry and quality. Make sure the water temperature is correct as well. Too warm or too cold can cause stress. Look the Jack Dempsey over for signs of injury or infection. Ich, bacterial infection or fungal infection can cause the fish too twitch or shiver. Plain aquarium salt (NOT table salt or Epsom salt) dissolved at 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water is a great general tonic that can reduce stress, improve gill function, treat minor infection and aid in any recover

Hi so I don't really like freshwater tanks so I have never been that committed and never had much success except keeping a koi and breeding cherry shrimp which I still have so I was wondering am i ready for a saltwater tank? since I love saltwater ta
Hi there! Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is the same question I asked myself a few years ago when I started with my first saltwater aquarium. It really depends on a lot of factors. Consider that it requires a significant amount of time and money commitment if you want to do it the right way. It is really time consuming though extremely rewarding. Water quality and equilibrium of the tank are key and ensuring both requires using the right equipment and constantly testing the water and adjusting things as needed. I would consider reading a lot about it before commiting any money to it. I personally love it but it really is a second job I have every Saturday morning just to take care of my tank. Good luck!
