  • Does anyone know if that will flow constantly until all the water is gone?

  • @ippie888 Your fish swimming to the bottom it probably has something to do with the water not being warm enough Your fish not eating well bettas are very picky try feeding it different food

  • Thumbs up if you think he looks a little like Shay Carl.

  • @arcjustice Not neccesarily, but close to else the fish gets a shock and dies. It also depends on how much water you remove.

  • hey,can any1 help me?my fish isnt eating right and hasnt been eating since this sunday,it usually swims in the bottom now and sometimes freezes,it has nothing wrong with its fins or gills or scales.i havent taken care of fish for a while(like 3 years)and when i asked the clerk she said i should try using distilled water for my first time with the fish.can any1 help me?

  • thank you! i just got a fish today and it is 5 fishes!

  • expert villager... chlorinate the tank first, dechlorinate it and then add fresh water... wat a mother fucking moron

  • @Toshiro4619

    its okay to siphon the gravel and clean the filter as long as you're using the old water from the fish tank you siphoned out because rinsing the filter with tap water can kill the beneficial bacteria so yes I agree with you
