The Role of Volcanic Rocks in Aquariums

Image
Volcanic rock plays an important role in filtering and adsorption in aquariums, besides stabilizing water quality, it can also promote the growth of aquatic plants. It is a kind of aquarium rock material with a wide range of uses. The role of Volcanic rocks in aquariums In the aquarium, the requirements of volcanic rock are relatively strict, so aquarists are concerned about how to choose the right volcanic rock very much. Red Volcanic rock can have a color-attracting effect on fish and shrimp. It is better to have a specific weight that can sink in the fish tank , but, it is also well to use one that can float in the water. The holes of the rock should be rich and fine. The hardness should be high, so as to avoid dropping slag in the tank. Due to the porous characteristics of volcanic rocks, it is conducive for aquatic plants to climb and root, and the various minerals dissolved in the rocks are not only beneficial to fish growth, but also provide fertilizer for aquatic plants.

First of all, you may have doubts about the 10 gallon tank, in your mind, you may not have formed a specific idea about the size. By industry standards, it's considered a small (mostly beginner) measuring anywhere between 20" x 10" x 12" and 20.25" x 10.5" x 12.5". Secondly, if you buy a ten gallon tank and add fish to it, there's a fact in front of you: you need to find out how many fish you can actually keep in it.

How Many Fish in a 10 Gallon Fish Tank

If you’re looking to stock your 10-gallon aquarium with freshwater fish, you can fit just about any small species in the tank. For example, a ten-gallon fish tank is large enough to hold betta fish, neon tetras, and guppies.  But keep in mind that you should choose peaceful species for the tank. Bettas are known to be trouble-free, but you should avoid keeping them with aggressive species that can harm each other. Generally, a 10-gallon  fish tank  has a water capacity of about 40 liters, it is suitable for keeping 20 small fish under 5cm, or 5 medium-sized fish between 5-10cm. 1 cm long fish should be matched with 1-liter water. This fish-keeping guide is only for reference. However, different fish species have different requirements for oxygen capacity, the same as the fish sizes. Therefore, it is difficult to generalize the stocking density. If the water plants are abundant, and the water quality is clear, and there is enough dissolved oxygen in the tank, whether, from air stone or
