Text Appearing After Image:
BALANCED SALT-WATER AQUARIUM. Sliowins- ulva and i-ecl seaAveed. When aquaria are newly arranged, the water may often appear clouded after a few days. If the fishes show signs of dis- comfort, it is due to the presence of bacteria causing the decom- position of impurities introduced with the sand or from decaymg plants. If the fishes appear in good condition the clouding may be due to the presence of great numbers of microscopic animals (infusoria) or plants (diatoms). This condition may even be noticed occasionally in well-balanced aquaria, especially in the spring when the water begins to warm up and particularly if the aquarium is in strong light. It is best in any case to draw off a portion of the water daily and add a fresh supply until the cloudy condition is past. If it is due merely to the presence of infusoria or other minute life, the position of the aquarmm should be changed or a screen should be arranged to cut off some of the light. If the fishes show much discomfort they should be removed until the conditions are made right. A careful search should be made for the source of decomposition. If no refuse food nor decaying vegetation is found, the sand or gravel should be removed from the bottom and thoroughly washed and the tank sterilized. The fishes, in the meantime, may be kept in any clean receptacle, and the water changed as often as is necessary. After resetting the aquarium should be allowed to stand for a few days, if possible, before putting the fishes in it.
