I need some help from experts. I have purchased a juvenile flowerhorn and have kept it in my new 200 litre tank, planted. For 2 days the fish was ok, and then it started rubbing itself in the gravel, increasing the frequency. I supposed it was fluke so gave the water some fluke treatment. Since yesterday, the fish has stopped rubbing itself on the gravel, but has settled on the bottom of the tank, still upright, but with very less movement. It is still eating allright. I changed the water temperature to 29 degrees..no more medications..

After turning up the temperature, the fish is not rubbing at the gravel anymore, but is now on the surface of the water. It is not gulping for air, but is in the water surface and slightly tilted on its balance, sort of trying to keep its balance..seems like a new symptom..?

I used to have 2 pet rats years ago but a lot of pet shops don't stock them now and I'd like to get some more.

hi , my older tortoise (greek) has just hatched a little one. The older tortoises are outside inthe garden but i would like to keep this new one (about 2 inches big) inside in my room.

Ive read that i have to let it bask under a uv lamp for a couple of hours every day. the prob is i cant seem to find one and im also low on budget. is a few hours in the sun ok?

and what about food? she doesnt seem to be too keen on lettuce or tomatoes.

What abotu hibernation patterns? Right now its about 20C in my room and thats the lowest it will get. (mediterranean here)

Anything else i should be worrying about? she seems to be in good health.

About Goldfishes.Where are they found apart from fish tanks and aquariams and shops.How do we know they are pregnant

2006-10-29 23:01:09 · 2 answers · asked by Susheel 1 in Fish

I have Goldfish, they are about 6 inch long from tip of nose to tip of tail. One I've had for almost a year and a half, Klouse, and the other for about 3 months, Goldie. Well Goldie, ever since we got her acts funny. She will just set there at the bottom of the tank and now he has gone to setting there with her. She swims funny too, sometimes she acts like she can't stay straight up and down, sorta like she can't keep her balance. She will do this for a few hours and then she is fine again. And then Klouse will come along and use his head against her back and help her swim straight. At first we thought she was going to die, but she hasn't yet. I am in the process of cleaning their tank. So they are in a smaller bowl, they are just setting their on the bottom of the tank. Is this normal? Are they ok? Should we be worried at this?

We call them he and she but they are both of the same sex, we think. Since they haven't had babies yet. So we doubt that she is pregnant.

She will urinate in her litterbox, but she will only poop in it when she feels like it, even if it is completely clean.

I have a house bunny (Netherlands Dwarf). During winter, my room's Temperature ranges about 65°~70°F. Is my room too cold for her? When the temperature hits 60's she likes to sit in front of the oil heater in my room. Do I need to install a heater in her cage or is she fine in the temperature range mentioned above?

This female snake belongs to my hubby. He promised me he will return it to the petshop before I come over from my holiday. I spent a couple of months away from my husband and he said this snake kept him company. I am just so concern if this pet leaves mark or any microorganism around our house.
