An aquarium with more fish than the biological system can accommodate will require some routine maintenance. Waste is produced in greater quantity than the substrate can take it in. Without a vigorous food web this detritus simply builds up. Eventually it will develop a strong algae content and can begin impacting plant leaves ability to breath. In this video Father Fish shows some simple methods for removing this extra mulm. Observing the tank carefully help one learn when water changes are needed. As water discolors it does so for precisely the same reason as detritus buildup.

What makes a fish tank stink? An aquarium that smells bad is not healthy. A stinky tank is a dying tank. An aquarium will die when it is not able to maintain the life of the plants and animals in it. So what kills aquariums. There are 2 primary causes. Both are a result of bad advice. The first cause of stinky tank is excess food. Even if all the food is eaten the fish may create more waste than the biological activity in the tank is able to covert to energy. Waste that is not converted to energy rots and stinks. The main cause of inadequate biological activity is chemical treatment of the tank. Father Fish believes there are no chemicals that are critical for the health of an aquarium. Most chemicals are doesd in the tank to kill something. This creates death. Death is the opposite of life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-to-keeping-healthy-fish--6788312/support.https://patreon.com/@FatherFishhttps://fatherfishaquarium.com
