Either way, there is almost a certainty that at one point, you are going to deal with snails. Snails can enter your tank purposely or not sometimes they can sneak into the tank with other fish that are put into the water (as they are caught in the net with the fish) or with the plants that are put into the aquarium. Though, if you don’t like them, you can always get rid of snails in a human way. The fact is that if they are kept at a moderate number, they can be your best friend. ![]() Some aquarium enthusiasts are at odds whether freshwater snails are good in your tank or not. Some of them are good looking and they also exhibit very interesting behavior. Not only that they keep the water and the tank clean, but they are also very pleasing on the eye. The fish tank does not need to be unloaded with everything like the water and the plants, all can stay inside the fish tank while cleaning is in progress.Freshwater snails can be an important part of your aquarium. Catching the fishes causes a lot of stress that can lead to illness or worse, death to severe cases. Lastly, fishes and any other marine animals inside the tank are recommended to be removed off the fish tank when cleaning as it does more harm than good. General accepted ideas may not work for every fish tank owner so guides may present a wide range of information that is confusing sometimes so trial and error method is the way to go. The frequency of fish tank clean-up is always a constant puzzle that can only be solved through experience, not through a reference that can be found everywhere. The byproduct of fish wastes and left-over food is stored inside the filters which in a regular household, a bin that keeps the garbage that still needs human manual disposal. Filters do not work as cleaners that magically removes fish waste products without storing the byproduct. The filtration system of the fish tank is another factor that owners need to pay attention to. A more densely populated fish tank needs more attention than those fish tanks that are simply holding fewer fishes and live plants. The fish tank size is not directly contributing largely when to clean but can also be a factor when the fish tank is densely populated by both fishes and live plants. The live plants inside the fish tank are also included in the consideration of when is the right time to clean the fish tank, the plants need pruning to discourage more dead leaves and for new leaves to grow. ![]() There are a lot of different ideas that can be found online that differ in the timeline of when to clean the fish tank and the answer to that is always dependent on the fish tank itself.Ĭleaning the fish tank is more dependent on the factors that can be easily seen by the naked eye and like the color of the water is no longer clean and it is already showing evident signs of algae greens where it is already difficult to make-out of where the fishes are or to see the inside the fish tank then that signals the right time. If the fish tank includes live plants, those plants need to be cleaned as well and pruned when needed. As the fish tank ages, so as everything inside the tank and what comes with it is the byproduct of the cycle like left-over food and waste product from fishes that need to be cleaned from time to time. ![]() The first tank like any other needs to be maintained and taken care of as time goes by. Once the fish tank is established, the work does not literally end there. It is a breath of fresh air when the fish tank is all set up and ready to go as the owner can see the beauty of the hard work done prior to the completion of the fish tank.
