Hi! I've had an aquarium for a few days now. Today I filled it and decorated it with a few plants. My question is, do I have to do a water change even if there are no fish in it?
and does anyone have some general tips before my fish move in (mollies and guppies)

Loading...Hey people. I've had a budgie for eight years. Everything was fine until now. But for several months now, she's been plucking out the feathers under her wings. She now has hardly any feathers under her wings. She's a very happy and content bird. We initially thought she wanted a companion, so we bought a…
I found a chick half an hour ago and wanted to go to the pet store tomorrow to find out what I need. My question is, what food can I give it at night? (Besides water)
Hi, I want to keep this short and sweet because I'm really scared. I got mice from school on December 6th because we had been working with them in class beforehand (they had to remember routes, nothing serious). I put a wheel in them and one of them runs in the wheel quite often and…
Hey people, I would like to start a project to protect our environment. It should be something unusual that will garner a lot of attention and support. I would like to collect donations online to finance this project and perhaps give something back to the people. If anyone thinks they have an incredibly good idea,…
You shouldn’t change water. Ammonia has to be formed in the water, because only then are the important useful bacteria oxidizing this poison in nitrite also toxic. If nitrite is present, then the important bacteria that oxidize nitrate from it form – this is a plant food.
Without these bacteria, an aquarium cannot work. The development takes at least 3 – 4 weeks and so long you have to wait before you use fish. They’ll die!
How big is your aquarium? Mollys need at least. 100 l – a 80 cm aquarium.
My aquarium is 110l and so do I get it right now I wait 3-4 weeks then can I change water and how much do I have to change? achja and my Aquaristician also gave me staterbakterien for the filter and so water soft maker how do I use it exactly?
Then it’s big enough for Mollys.
Yes, you leave it “inlet” for 3 – 4 weeks, then you can change 30 – 50% of the water – but please do NOT clean the filter, otherwise the bacteria are away directly.
Then the first fish can take in – not all at once, otherwise the bacteria are equally overloaded (by food residues and fish jersey) and the fish could die again.
After a week – if everything goes well – the next fish can move in. Remember, Mollys and Guppys get a lot of young people – so just a few fish buy – they become more by themselves.
Starter bacteria are completely unnecessary – the money you could have saved you. And water heater is also absolutely superfluous – you don’t need that too. Let the whole chemical stuff out of the aquarium – it’s just a shame.
Just wait 3 – 4 weeks – an aquarium requires one thing in particular: a lot of patience!
Good success
The filter should only be cleaned if the flow of the water leaves noticeably. And then the filter material can best be flushed out only with suctioned AQ water. Not with hot power water
If you only want to buy male animals, there are problems. In normal guppys the males become very aggressive when they have to live without females and then the beautiful fins have to believe. Stress does not fish well, they get sick very quickly.
And at the Mollys, no one will make the trouble in the store to find out only males – if the sellers in the store can realize that at all. And there are also aggressions without females.
If you don’t want to be younger, you better choose other fish – there are many of them that can be easily cared for… e.g. cardinal fish, jewellery alms, black neon, copper alms ….
That would be a much better solution!
Thank you! well that I still have the checkouts haha then I bring the product zrk still a question how long can I not clean the filter? and when can I get it back with what distance? achja and how many fish should I buy for the first? I don’t want to grow up so I just buy male enough 10 for start or is it too much?
