Quasimodo asked:
She got them on Sunday, and today one is dead and the other is dying. She was feeding them properly, according to the directions on the tropical fish food.
She got them on Sunday, and today one is dead and the other is dying. She was feeding them properly, according to the directions on the tropical fish food.
Her tank is a 1 gallon tank, which has the air bubbles thing, but no filter. The water got cloudy within a couple of days, but I didn’t think it was anything to worry about. Today the water is somewhat cloudy and the second fish is laying next to the dead one, still alive, but looks like the breathing is labored. What did we do wrong? Can we do anything to save the one sick fish?

Can A Tropical Fish Tank Keep You Healthy?

Sharon Price asked:
Studies have shown that people who own a tropical fish tank are calmer and suffer from less ill health than those who don’t. Dogs and cats are also known to have therapeutic benefits. Stroking a dog or cat has been proven to provide a calming effect on the brain. But the simple observation that watching fish makes people calmer and healthier is also backed up by studies. A freshwater or a tropical fish tank brings an increase in health and wellness and gazing at these kinds of aquariums is peaceful and relaxing.
Therapy For Your Kids
If you have children, you will know how much of a handful they can be but have you noticed the difference in how they behave when you take them to an aquarium center? Or even to a house or office where there is a tropical fish tank? They become transfixed upon the fish. It’s like a magnet pulls them in. I remember being a child and watching some pink coral in a tropical fish tank at a store, just hypnotized by its motion.
Watching A tropical fish tank is so calming studies have shown that children with adhd show a marked improvement almost immediately. Aquariums in the classroom are known not only to reduce anxiety levels in students but also to be a good tool to teach the kids the responsibilities of caring for a pet and some chemistry basics. Tropical fish tanks are also seen in hospital waiting rooms and especially in the child’s hospital wards to help aid their recovery.
And For Adults Too!
While adults may control themselves near a fish store more than a kid would, at the city aquarium or zoo, they are just as entranced as the children. Everyone feels wonder watching the biggest shark or the humblest goldfish paddling through a tropical fish tank.
They are known to reduce blood pressure and help people who are going through stressful situations. It is the fish that are the relaxing part. Tests have been carried out on subjects who just watch a colorful bubbling tank but without any fish and they did not have as promising results as those who watched a tropical fish tank which actually contained fish. Scientists in Japan are studying the possibility that watching delicate jellyfish in a tropical fish tank may be even more therapeutic.
Some people have told how gazing at a tropical fish tank helped a loved one deal with disease. Another great place to have a tropical fish tank is in the dining room, as studies show you are more able to relax and focus on completing a whole meal in the presence of an aquarium. This may be why several top restaurants have had large tropical fish tanks installed.

Feeding Your Tropical Fish

Rob Mellor asked:
In the last couple of articles I shared with you the great tips on selecting good aquarium fish and how to transport and acclimatize them to there new surroundings. Today I’m going to tell you about the right way to feed your tropical fish because it is very important.
Did you know that overfeeding is the most common cause of death in aquarium fish? I know this is hard to believe that something so simple could cause the death of more fish than all the diseases and problems with water quality but it is one area that people overlook when is comes to tropical fish.
You need to make sure you don’t over feed your fish but on the other hand they need to get enough food to be able to survive and grow healthily. Here are a few tips on how you should feed your new tropical aquarium fish.
1, Feed often but sparingly. This will cut down on uneaten food that will turn into ammonia and could harm or even kill your fish.
2, Watch at feeding times and work out how much the fish can eat within five minutes. Then never feed more than that. This again will create less waste.
3, Try feeding other feeds than don’t pollute the water as much. Only feed meaty foods twice or three times a week as these tend to create the most waste.
4, Think about buying a more powerful filter. If you over feed then, the extra waste will cause a strain on your existing filter. Look into upgrading your filter if you keep having problems with ammonia.
5, Buy a few catfish or pleco’s. These bottom feeding fish eat the waste food that is left by other fish and will cut down on the end waste. Pleco’s also eat algae and keep the tank cleaner.
I hope you look into trying a few of these tips to try and avoid over feeding and ammonia problems caused by food. If you do try them out then I’m sure you will see good results and less fish deaths if you’re having problems with ammonia and nitrate levels in your tank water.
