How To Fix A Leaky Fish Tank

Yikes, you’ve got a leaky fish tank. It may not be apparent at first and you might think nothing of it. Eventually, however, you will become familiar with that wet patch on the carpet underneath your aquarium and realize that there is a problem.

The first thing you have to do when fixing a fish tank is work out where the leak is coming from. If the leak is slight this may be difficult. Leaks generally occur round the seals that join each piece of the aquarium glass. The seal is a form of water resistant glue but like all glues it loses it’s strength over time and holes or cracks may occur. This is where you should look first. Run your fingers over the silicon and feel for dampness or wet. This is your leak. And remember that there may be more than one leak as the glue will wear out at roughly the same time.

Freshwater Tropical Fish-mollies And Guppies

There is a large variety of freshwater tropical fish that you can add to your fish tank but my two favorites are Mollies and fancy guppies. These fish are livebearers meaning that instead of laying eggs, they give birth to a little tiny fish and they are, in fact, quite easy to breed even for a novice aquarist.

Mollies

A Molly is a great fish for a beginner hobbyist. These fish are fairly hearty and will withstand adversity and conditions well so if you make a mistake you can have a good chance of you for surviving. You want to be sure that you have a least a 15 gallon tank and you have a good heater as these fish like the temperature to be between 70 and 82°F.
