My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?

the country that i am in does not speak any english, i cannot communicate to buy an aerator as i did not even see one there and after buying the bowl and fish as a first time user, i discovered it was wrong. so i need a solution as to how often to change the water and feed it.. i bought 2 plants as well. Pls do not reply with dumb answers like affordability of aerators-money is not the point here-i want to save the fish and i have realised the folly of getting one in the bowl. Also did not see any fish tanks, so i have to make the best of the situation and ur experience counts. thanks.My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?Do not worry about the aerater since they do nothing for the fsh anyway. Gold fish need Dissolved oxygen not bubbles. Dissolved oxygen enters the water by movement only. Wind, waves, fountains, filters etc. An air stone and pump won't help your fish.

you will need to change the water every three days, and only 1/2 of the water from the bowl not the entire bowl. A turkey baster will help with poo on the bottom of the bowl. Plants are nice and add oxygen however don't crowd out your fish.

You can add dissolved oxygen by simply scooping out water from the bowl and pouring it back into the bowl. Do this a few times a day and your fish will be fine. Also, when changing the water if you use a plastic bag or closed container, shake the water viggerously before putting it back in his bowl. this will add lots of dissolved oxygen to the water.

Also, colder water has more dissolved oxygen than warmer water. Keep your fish in a shaded or cooler spot.My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?That's a good fish keeper not to buy more goldfish for your bowl. What you could do is try to go online at http://drsfosterandsmith.com and search for the right aerator for your tank. I would also try changing your bowl's water biweekly so ammonia or nitrite won;t spike. Don't drain the water out just some of it. I would feed your goldfish once every two days. Research shows that an underfed goldfish lived healthier and longer, just like humans do.

I hope you find the right pump for your tank.My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?Plants will help, but only during the day when there's light for photosynthesis. Unfortunately, if you have adequate light for photosynthesis, it's probably enough to warm the water, so you're negating any benefits the plants would have provided.

The key to adding oxygen is water movement. If you can get a small fan and aim it at the water surface to create ripples, this will help until you can find a more permanent solution.

In a bowl, they should get water changes more frequently, 2-4 times a week sepending on the size of the fish and volume of water in the bowl. Changing the bowl water for new water will also increase the oxygen, even if only temporarily.My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?If you cannot aerate the tank you should change the water every three or four days. Be sure not to use any chlorinated water as this will injure your fish. You should consider letting the new water stand for a day before you add it. Shake or stir the new water to help oxygenate the new water before you change it.

When feeding your fish only give it as much food as it can eat because any extra food will cause the water to be bad. Feed only once a day or one every other day.

The problem with fish bowls is the water quality gets bad in a few days because of fish waste and low oxygen content.My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?You can not have an aerator without a pump. The only thin gyou can do is do water changes once a week, if that's not enough due to it being a goldfish and they are notorious for the amount of waste they excrete, then twice a week should be fine. I had a betta in a bowl and I did my water changes on Saturdays. He now has a little tank with a filter and everything.My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?You can buy filters %26amp; pumps for bowls - they are quite cheap %26amp; any aquarium shop will have them. If you aren't able to buy one though, you will need to keep the fish's water very clean. A half water change once a week should be enough. Make sure you don't overpopulate the bowl, so don't buy any more fish to put in. Use a water conditioner in the clean water you plan to put into the bowl, and make sure it's the same temperature (letting it sit in the same room to age it for a day is a good way). You will need to minimize the amount of gravel you have in the bottom of the bowl - the more gravel, the more waste it will collect, and the amonia in the small volume of water will build up to fatal levels very easily. So, no more than an inch of gravel, and keep it clean by stirring it up a little (don't scare your fish too much) and syphoning out the waste with a thin plastic hose, then remove %26amp; replace half of the water weekly. Any more often %26amp; you could stess your fish to death. Also don't overfeed him - you want to avoid waste food settling in the bottom. It's most important to keep the bowl %26amp; water as clean as you can. Good luck with your fish!My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?Pat on the back for trying to save your fish! I don't know why someone would think you Suggest you change the water every two days. What is the volume of your fish bowl? How many goldfish are there, and what are their approximate size? It sounds like it's hard to find things where you are, how is the quality of water that you put in the bowl (does your tap water smell strongly of chemical? If yes, do you have access to clean rain water or well water?). You may also want to be mindful of how much your feeding your fish, because the uneaten particles will breed bacteria which uses more oxygen (watch that it doesn't get cloudy).My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?Goldfish are not supposed to live in a bowl. That is not a suitable home and it will never ever work.My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?air pumps are a very good way to put oxygen into your tank.

while the bubbles do not put oxygen in the water they help get it there by pushing the water from the bottom to the top and keep it turning over . when the water hits the top of the tank its there it lets go of the co2 and other wast from fish that turn into gas. The water is then free to pick up oxygen again.

so its clear that anyone that says they dont do anything dose not under stand what is going on.My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?You can take a cup, scoop out some water and pour it back in for a quick fix. You need to keep doing this though. Best to get a filter - get one online and have it mailed to you.My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?So you can't buy the right equipment because it's not available and you can't communicate your needs because of a language barrier. Major problems for you fish!!!

Try bringing a picture to the store of what you need. Perhaps that will help. What country are you in? There are many countries that are very fond of goldfish and should have many stores with proper supplies. Try to find someone who can direct you to the right store in your area and be prepared with pictures of what you need or bring your poor fish with you and ask for help.

The surface area will determine the amount of oxygen that makes it into the water. The larger the surface area, the better the oxygen level. Never fill your bowl completely to the rim but to the largest area of the bowl. In a pinch, you might try transferring them to another container until you can get a proper aquarium with filtration for them. You can use a large plastic bin if you are sure it is clean with no cleaners. The cleaning products are likely to kill the fish. Do a scrub with distilled white vinegar and make sure that it is completely rinsed out before using it. Also, make sure you do water changes probably twice a week depending upon the size of the container and the size of the fish.

There is no substitution for getting the right equipment to properly care for the animals you have in your care. They depend upon you for their life. But until you can find the right equipment, perhaps this will help.

PS We live in the world of the web. See if Petsmart, or other web dealer, ships to the country you are in.My new goldfish in bowl keeps coming to surface of water, one died, how to aerate without pump? pls help asap?Perhaps instead of a proper fish tank, you can find a suitable storage container?

How do you install the serpentine belt on a 1995 Chevy barreta 2.2l engine?

I changed the water pump and took off the belt ok and now am having difficulty installing the belt again. Can you provide a step by step on how to put the belt back on? The more details the better.How do you install the serpentine belt on a 1995 Chevy barreta 2.2l engine?If you look on the engine there will be a belt tensioner pulley that is smaller than the other pulleys. this is spring loaded and adjusts by use of a 3/8%26quot; ratchet. you line up the new belt and release the tension on the pulley, and then install belt around the pulleys and then let the tension come back by letting the tensioner %26quot;go%26quot;. the spring loaded action should give your belt the proper amount of tension. Hope this helpsHow do you install the serpentine belt on a 1995 Chevy barreta 2.2l engine?there should be a sticker around the top of the radiator area(under the hood) showing the belt configuationHow do you install the serpentine belt on a 1995 Chevy barreta 2.2l engine?There should be a picture under the hood of how the belt should look on the pulleysHow do you install the serpentine belt on a 1995 Chevy barreta 2.2l engine?usually in a small car like that all you have to do is push down on the pulleyHow do you install the serpentine belt on a 1995 Chevy barreta 2.2l engine?There is usually a diagram under the hood of the car. Usually on the radiator cover or the strut mounts.Get the belt on the bottom ,or lowest pulleys first. Then keeping tention on the belt feed it on to the next pully up. If the pulley has grooves then of course thats the part the ribbed side of the belt should touch. Smoo is the back side of the belt. look for a diagram that looks like the one on this web site.

How often should i change my turtles water?

I was wondering how often I should change my turtles water in the tank since I don't have a pump and filter in it as of yet? I'm planing on getting them this week tho, I have an 80 gallon tank that houses one mississippi map turtle right now I'm also planing to buy one more water turtle this week as well.

Thank you for your help in this matter of mine.How often should i change my turtles water?i would say change it once a week more if it looks or smells like it needs changing ..less when you get the filter.How often should i change my turtles water?That's a BIG tank,get a filter as soon as possible,then just change the cartridge when dirtyHow often should i change my turtles water?If ya fill it up half 2/3 of the way I would say maybe every other weekend. When I had a hard pond liner or a kiddy pool with 2 turtles, I cleaned it every 2 weeks.

Till I got my pond. Now I have adopted 3 more.

Aquatic are a life long commitment.

I am no expert, just been blessed with 2 healthy red eared sliders girls for 36 yrs. Got them on mty 18th b-day!

I wish you luck. I have been a mom to Two 36 yr old females for 36 long yrs.( plus an 8,5 male red eared sliders and 2 yr yellow bellied old male adopted from this site now for the last 7 yrs now).

These guys in my 150 gallon pond get 500 plus goldfish a month. Leafy greens and fruits 4 times a week and plus electricity plus I also feed dried cubed blood worms or tubiflex worms at least 5 times a week.

.These guys have a two good heaters ( starting in the fall), a GOOD filter, (UVA/UVB rep light, starting in the fall till end of winter) basking dock yr round.

These turtles in captivity do not hibernate their eating may slow down some but they will not hibernate.

They will bite very very hard. Under 4%26quot; they carry a disease called 'salmonella'. So you must wash after every handling ANY size turtle..

These guys can become cannibalistic and will kill the smallest turtle if there is not enough room and food.

Their water needs to be clean otherwise they get sick easily from dirty water cause they poop allot. You need a good filter system!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/29035692@N0How often should i change my turtles water?yes, change when it looks like it clearly needs cleaning....hmm clearly needs cleaning-lolHow often should i change my turtles water?that depends. if there are many, so u must change it....maybe everyday. I had 20 turtles but now only 4 are left plus 5 eggs. I have to change the water likely everyday.

And by the way u don't really need a filter... it saves u money and just imagine when they are wild I mean in river not yet captured, who do you think will put a really huge and big filter in the river!!!? huh

hope I've helped!!!!! and ya almost forgot, never ever put chlorophyll in the water, sellers will not tell you but I have been doing it and believe me, they start having eye problems. their eyes swell and they become..... blind. I mean not really but u must go to a vet.

How do i set the timing for a 93 honda civic with a b15b7?

I change the water pump on my honda civic and I ended up moving the top pully a hair ... now i am worried about the timing be off and do not want to try to turn it over ... so is there anybody that can help me with setting the time so i dont mess up my motor?How do i set the timing for a 93 honda civic with a b15b7?just turn your top pulley too where it was originally, then turn engine over by hand with spanner 2 complete revolutions if the engine locks up when turning then you are way out with your timing if it turns over by hand then it is safe too start with the key and no damage will occur

Changing timing belt myself :)?

my car needs new timing belt, shop asked $170 for labor (80 for belt and 130 for water pump, i found belt online for 30 and not planing on changing water pump) My buddy who is not mechanic but done alot of work on his cars told me that we can do it ourselves and save $ on labor. He says its only couple bolts and some elbow greasy. I see how it would be easy to put belt on two bottom pulleys but top one might be a problem?. will I have to stretch the belt to fit in or is there some other way. Thanks

by the way its 2004 suzuki forenzaChanging timing belt myself :)?The belt is a tight fit, but not impossible. I'm not familiar with your exact setup, but some cars have an idler pulley that is used to tension the belt. This can be spring loaded or have an adjustment bolt that allows much easier belt installation.

The only %26quot;trick%26quot; to installing the new belt is making sure the timing is correct. That is the crank and cam(s) pulleys are aligned properly. Check the Chilton or Haynes repair manual for how to set them as there are numerous ways that engine manufacturers use to mark the correct positioning. Most have the #! piston @TDC and the #1 cylinder intake valve(s) just closed. Also the location of the distributor or sensor unit that determines the plug firing must be coordinated so that the #1 plug is ready to fire.

BTW: Some engines position the water pump so that the timing belt needs to be removed to get at it. (Subaru does this) It is usually a good idea to replace the water pump while everything is apart, rather than having it go bad a week or month later. (I think that's one of Murphy's laws: A part will go bad right after the parts in front of it are replaced!) Water pumps are cheap compared to many other parts. I'd also replace all fan belts as you put the engine back together if they aren't pretty new. (Removing and reinstalling used belts tends to stretch them and amplify any cracks that were starting to develop.)Changing timing belt myself :)?Timing belts are normally pretty difficult and time consuming to put on. They normally swap the water pump out at the same time because it is so hard to get to normally but is easy while you are doing the timing belt. And it is normally the next thing to wear out. I would highly recommend doing the water pump at the same time.Changing timing belt myself :)?Yes, you can do it yourself, it's not rocket science....but neither is it as simple as replacing a fan belt. If the shop wants $170 for labor, they expect it's going to take professionals several hours to do the job. You don't have to stretch the belt to fit, there should be an adjuster...but you will have to make sure that several timing marks are all lined up with the correct reference marks. This after all is the belt which coordinates all the timing in the engine. The reason the water pump is replaced at the same time is that they have a similar life span to a timing belt, and you're right in there. Replace it now and you'll thank yourself later.

If your buddy has experience with timing belts, then go ahead and it will be a good learning experience. At least get yourself a shop manual and see what you're getting into. OTOH, the shop has quoted you a fair price.

My '99 chevy suburban does not start unless you add gas directly to the fuel injector throttle body. After you do it, then it starts and runs normally.
