Q&A: How will not lighting an aquarium affect the guppies that live in it?


Question by hawksy: How will not lighting an aquarium affect the guppies that live in it?
I have a breeding pair in a tank without a light (awaiting the arrival of one) and they seem really slow, and are spending time in places where the flow of the filter isn’t as strong. Is this because of the lack of light or should I be looking at other issues?

Best answer:

Answer by hottamalee33
You should be looking at other issues. Not to many fish love strong currents.

Do you live in NYC or have you visited there?


Question by s h: Do you live in NYC or have you visited there?
I am going to be in New York on the first of April. The endured is supposed to be pretty bad. I was believing of going to The Statue of Liberty. Chinatown, and the New York Aquarium. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer by Emmmma!
The Statue of Liberty is cool, except the line can be very long. Check out Dylan’s Candy Bar and Serendipity. Their frozen hot chocolate is AMAZING. I visited the Intrepid with my family last summer, that was really cool. Also getting a tour of the city on one of those double decker buses is fun(:

What kind of aquarium hood/light do I need for live plants?


Question by Tessa Starr: What kind of aquarium hood/light do I need for live plants?
I’m getting a couple live plants for my new 10g aquarium. While reading about them, I found out they have high light requirements. Would a typical incandescent hood with incandescent light bulb suffice? If not, would a flourescent hood/light work out alright? I’d really rather not get the flourescent hood unless I have to… they’re so expensive ><

Best answer:

Answer by Jordan
a regular incandecent would work but a “halide” light bulb would be best they are brighter and benefit the plant more and they look better they are more expensive but if you want the scoop results get them you can find some on www.ebay.com www.aquabid.com www.thatpetplace.com www.marineandreef.com www.terrificpets.com www.aquariumguys.com LOL you get the drift if anyone has a question about FISH!!! email me ill get you an answer somehow

Q&A: Can any live plant flourish supplement or pharmaceuticals kill my fish?


Question by pLridaz: Can any live plant flourish supplement or pharmaceuticals kill my fish?
I wanted to setup a planted aquarium but I just wanted to make sure before I beginning buying stuff.

Best answer:

Answer by Ianab
If used wrong (overdosed), yes they certainly can. Flourish should be safe as long as you follow the instructions.Other chemicals? Do your research before you go dumping random stuff in the tank, many do have side effects, may may mess with the tank natural cycles, and even kill your fish.Ian
