Fish tank questions from a newbie.... - September 11th, 2006 at 08:23 AM
Okay, number one: The fish have totally pulled up and eaten my anarachis. It's gone...they ate it all! Should I take more out of the pond or should I just get plastic ones????? I'm not sure what to do because when I secure them under the gravel they keep pulling them out and stripping them. And I feed them so they aren't starving.
Question two: My tank is turning a cloudy green color. I know that it's normally for new tanks but I wonder how long it will last? It looks bad. I put in an Amonia Clear fizz tablet today and syphoned out the gravel/water and refilled it with almost 2 gallons of clean water and it doesn't look quite as bad......is it really 6-8 weeks for a tank to fully cycle? I think I read that somewhere.....
Thank you! Oh BTW, how often do you think I should replace my filter on my 10 gallon tank? Can you just clean it off and use it a little extra longer or should it be totally replaced.
I think I need help!
