Wow! Even though those fish aren't alive, they're gorgeous! I loved the details of that place; it looks like a natural marine habitat. I tried raising fish once, but I wasn't very good at it; I think it was because they didn't have much space. @wakeupkitty, that place looks beautiful. See you!
In average space is not the biggest issue for fish, but the quality of water is (even light is not too important). If they poop they poison their own water unless there are plants using it next to that they need oxygen, so you need plants or an oxygen pump. The temperature of the water can also play a role.
You're absolutely right. Perhaps I wasn't successful raising them because I didn't have the right conditions, which is why I mentioned the space was small. Thank you so much, see you later.
The space is rarely the issue since in a small tank fish simply remain small.
In stores selling fish the average tank is 40 × 60 × 40 and those tanks are full, rarely a plant or decoration.
Back then I didn't have a pond or a water pump, so I decorated the bottom with stones and shells and used a glass jar as a fishbowl. I didn't have many fish, just two or three. I raised them well and loved them very much, but I don't know what happened; they died, and I was very sad, and I haven't raised any more since. Thank you, see you later.
Can be they died because they pooped into the water and if you have no filter you should replace most of the water daily.
I went with my father to collect frogspawn from the ditch. Lots of children did that. We had plastic containers that belonged to the aquarium. The spawn was kept outside and did very well at first. It's fun to see how tadpoles develop. One day, everything was gone. I don't know if they had already turned into frogs and jumped away, or if my mother had thrown them away because she thought they were dirty, even though she was always busy with the aquarium and had a type of frog in it too.
When I was a girl of about 9 years old, I saw in a river, many fish swimming on the shore. I picked up a container and took several of them from the shore. I took them home. Then my older sister told me what I had taken were tadpoles, which were not fish. I think he threw them away because I never saw the container with them inside again.
But they are so cute. I assume they ended the same way as mine.
I figured he threw them away. Who would think of bringing tadpoles home as if they were fish, hehehe. Just me.
My fish may have died because of that. I cleaned its makeshift tank occasionally, but since it didn't have a filter, it got dirty very quickly. Perhaps that was the reason.
Thanks for sharing your story. I also enjoy watching tadpoles develop, but when they grow up and become frogs, I prefer to keep my distance. It's amazing to know what you were able to observe after collecting the tadpoles, since you could better observe their development. Although it was a shame they disappeared, tadpoles are great amphibians, and it's quite a sight to see them grow. Thank you for leaving such a kind comment and sharing such a wonderful experience. See you later.😀
