Fish tank with no lid?
I’ve recently set up a 10 gallon freshwater aquarium. I have not bought the fish or anything yet. Today i realized that the lid of the tank doesn’t have a cut out where the filter can be. So i was wondering if the tank, and fish when i get them would be ok with no top to the tank. I’m gonna rig a light fixture some how. and I do not really have money for a new lid. They cost around $50 at the local pet stores here. Thank you ahead of time. i was just wanting to know before i spent to much money and then my fish become un healthy or something.
You can easily cut a spot in for the filter and heater (if you’re keeping tropicals).
If you end up not using the lid, your fish may jump out. I’ve had many fish jump out by using tanks without lids, so I always make sure I have a tight fitting lid.
And make sure that you fishless cycle the tank before getting fish. And once it’s cycled, (ammonia and nitrite at 0ppm, nitrate beginning to climb very slightly) add fish very slowly. 1 or 2 a week.
Good luck.
