Which fish tank for you?
Welcome to your Fish Tank Info blog. Free tips about fish tanks. Information about fish tanks, and more on fish tanks, your home and family and pet home.
In the following posts I will review two different fish tanks. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
A lot of people buy a glass fish tank because of it being traditional and so has a loyal following. Glass fish tanks have been a long time favorite for most of these people.
The other fish tank is Acrylic and has many advantages over glass.
I will tell you about both and you can then consider which you think would be best for you.

Danger!! 3 Completely new Fish Tanks
Welcome to your Fish Tank Info blog. Free tips about fish tanks. Information about fish tanks, and more on fish tanks, your home and family and pet home.
Danger! Completely new fish tanks. 3
Cory Catfish, Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish and probably your African Dwarf Frog and others will not tolerate high levels of ‘ammonia’ and ‘nitrites’ that occur in new tanks.
So what do you do?
Well, one of the solutions is to buy a couple of ‘hardy’ fish to help establish the biological cycle in the tank.
These are certain types of fish that can tolerate the higher amounts of toxins present in the new tank while it is cycling.
Some of these types of hardy fish are female Guppies, blue and yellow Gouramis and Zebra Danios.
You may not want to get any of these if you looking at Cory Catfish, Betta fish/ Siamese fighting fish etc.
I then suggest that you set up your tank without any fish for a couple of weeks.
Usually it will take about 6-8 weeks to cycle your new tank. So, no fish added for the first 6-8 weeks or so.
You can buy a special kit at your local pet store, if you do not want to wait that long.
These kits contain special chemicals that get added to the water to ‘cycle’ the new tank.
These chemicals are similar to the ones that are produced by your fish that would be living in your new tank. These kits should have instructions on how to use them.
One of these kits is called ‘CYCLE’, (biological water conditioner,) and this product inoculates newly established aquariums with appropriate living beneficial bacteria.
Remember to apply these solutions before you purchase your Cory Catfish, Betta fish/ Siamese fighting fish, or African Dwarf Frog, and you should have great success from the beginning.

Danger! Continued. New fish tanks.
Welcome to your Fish Tank Info. Free tips about fish tanks. Information about fish tanks, and more on fish tanks, your home and family and pet home.
Danger! Completely new fish tanks. 2
Brand new fish tanks lack the bacteria needed to break down any toxins produced by the waste products of your fish. Time is needed for these bacteria to grow.
The time that it takes for the bacteria to grow is what is called ‘cycling the tank’.
The waste products that enter the water from your fish produce ‘ammonia’, which is very toxic to your fish. When more ‘ammonia’ enters the water then some bacteria begins to grow in the tank.
This bacterium begins to eat the ‘ammonia’ and the ‘ammonia’ levels will then drop.
The ‘ammonia’ eating bacteria also produce their own waste products which puts ‘nitrite’ into the water, and this is also very toxic to your new fish.
When these ‘nitrites’ start to increase you get another bacteria growing. The new bacterium then eats the ‘nitrites’ and this causes the ‘nitrites’ to drop.
These ‘nitrite’ eating bacteria also produce their own waste products which give off ‘nitrates’.
The ‘nitrates’ are not as toxic to your Betta fish/ Siamese fighting fish, African Dwarf Frog or your Cory Catfish, but, you should not let them build up in your tank.You have to do regular partial water changes to keep them low.

Danger!! Completely New Fish Tanks.
Welcome to your Fish Tank Info blog. Free tips about fish tanks. Information about fish tanks, and more on fish tanks, your home and family and pet home.
Danger! Completely new fish tanks! 1
I must bring this up. It is very important! Read the next three posts and please take heed!
If you are setting up your brand new fish tank, then the following information is vitally important!
Most of your newly acquired fish will die if you do not follow these rules!
When you first set up your new tank and you place your fish into the tank, they will be living in fresh water with new decorations and new substrate etc.
Your new fish produces waste which adds toxins in the water. The toxins are very poisonous to your fish at this time. When the levels of toxins increase in the water they become very harmful to your fish and they could die!
Many first timers find that their new fish die in the first few days and this can be very upsetting for all. It does, however, happen to all new aquariums.
I am sure that you would not like to lose your new Siamese fighting fish/Betta fish, your African Dwarf Frog or your Cory Catfish in this way?
