[rec.birds] WATER CHANGES

fkb@pyuxe.UUCP (Francine K Bryan) (08/21/90)

This is my first attempt at posting.  I'm a new fishkeeper...about
1 month...and nobody ever informed me I was supposed to change the
water.  I've read many articles about people changing a certain
percentage of their water.  Can somebody tell me why this is done
and how much I should be changing?

I have a 10 gallon tank right now with 5 fancy tail guppies, 2 catfish,
and 4 brand new babies (fancy tail guppies) in a breeder.

What I want to know is:

Do you clip their fins?
How do you teach a fish to talk?

and how do you keep the water from leaking out of the cage?

Should we perhaps start using INDOOR, OUTDOOR, and WATER? :-)

Note the smiley!
