Question
Why water in a fish pot needs to be changed from time to time?
✓

Answer

A fish pot is an artificial ecosystem and the fish in it are selective and maintained in a restricted environment.

In a fish pot, the unwanted food and waste generated by the fish mix with the water and remain untreated due to lack of decomposers.

Accumulation of waste material will decrease the levels of dissolved oxygen in the water pot.

Hence, it is necessary to change the water from time to time.
