When starting a freshwater aquarium, keep the aquarium out of areas of excessive sunlight, and use 1 pound of gravel per gallon of water. Check with a local pets shop to find out what chemicals should be used to treat the water with help from the owner of a pet store in this free video on freshwater fish aquariums.

Ide Tottaly Do Him
wee woo wee woo! Grammar police! It’s totally. Not tottaly.
you forgot the heater!!!
@hellyeah0136
wee woo wee woo! Definition police! It’s spelling. Not Grammar.
@orod1337 WTF O_O haha i really hope I can forget this.
i thought you were supposed to put the water in first before the decoration, to prevent little salt consentrations from getting stuck in the gravel and messing up the salinity, at least thats what my marine biology teacher told me.
this guy looks like a tool!!
@bloopatroopa accualy you may be able to to that but if fish are in the tank they might get real agressive
@fingersk8dan Do u need a heater in a cold water aquarium?
@scheppach69 no you dont. a coldwater aquarium is for goldfish (as you probably know) only tropical and marine fish need a heater.
thanks
@scheppach69 er…. why would you if its a COLD water aquarium?… common sense dude.
@NavySEALsSpectator you mean stressed, most fish that people have aren’t that aggressive and cant really harm you.
lol Norbally
I’ve had a 30 gallon tank for a long time and now I got a 55 gallon tank for my birthday. I’m used to having small fish but I really want a cichlid tank. Do you think putting 4-5 convict cichlids, an oscar, and a pleco will be too many fish?
@The0Burger0King
I have a 55 gallon, too, and its way too small for even one oscar. they can get 12-16 inches long, and the reccomended size is 100 gallons.
@PeanutButterCoCoPuff
I’ve done a lot of research since this comment and I’m gonna get a Jack Dempsey, 2 convicts, a blood parrot, and a pleco.
@The0Burger0King
that sounds great!
tell me how it goes, and good luck
how come this guy doesent know what hes talking about on expertvillage but he does on ehow?
@PeanutButterCoCoPuff
I have my tank all set up. I have 5 buenos aries tetras, 1 jack dempsey, 1 pleco, and a blood parrot (which sadly has fin rot and is gonna die)
Otherwise the other fish are doing fine.
erm sorry, didn’t realise you don’t do irony there!
what does rense mean??
0:00 skip the add haha
