  • umm im sorry, but i have a tropical freshwater tank and i never remove my fish when i do a water change. the only fish i take out are my guppy fry when i have to give their breeder net they are in a clean as it tends to get covered in alage. and what if you something like a 2ft pleco, yeah i think that will be happy with you getting it out of the tank every week

  • this guys an idiot.

  • you stress the fish less if you don't hunt them down, net them, put them in a small cup and dump them back in saltwater or freshwater

  • when i was 5 years younger i had tiger fish. when my mom cleaned the tank she would remove the fishes, i had lots of them as they breeded throughout the seasons, and she would place them on the counter suffering for water. they died because one of them had a diesease. do you guys think the fish that got the diesease got it because she did that?
