So recently, he just had the problem of just laying down at the bottom, & he wouldn't eat much.
Somehow, he got out of that funk, and started swimming a LITTLE bit. But now, instead of hanging out at the bottom, he hangs out at the top, and does nothing, except the occasional swim. He still doesn't eat much. Ignores the flakes, eats a little bit of these white things that are in with the flakes. I know betta's don't usually like flakes, but he used to eat them fine, and my mom thinks i'm being silly about this. I have no way to get to the fish store for a while.

Any ideas?

I just got my Betta Fish 2-3 weeks ago. Should I give him to someone to watch and feed? Or should I just leave him at home?

My rabbit got bit by another rabbit (it's dad, actually) and is really hurt. It got bit near the legs and lost all its hair in that area. He can't use his hind legs at the moment because there is a giant red ball in the place he got bit at. We have no idea what to do or what it is. But, he's been like that a few weeks and is getting better. Still, any advice or suggestions?

Do snails count as "fish" when your figuring out how many critters to a tank? I've always thought snails benefit the tank.

I have one apple snail (size of a golf ball) 1 ramshorn (I think, or black mystery snail) and several trumpet snails. I also have one male betta in the tank now....but was thinking of getting 3 female bettas and moving the male betta. The tank is 5 gal. & I don't want to overcrowd anybody....the tank has lots of good hiding places & I keep the water changed properly. Think that setup would work? thanks :)

He tries to swim...but all he does are barrel rolls. He has been fine but the last week he has been very still....and won't really eat. Now he is having a huge issue with swimming. What could be wrong? He is not very old...it is my uncles tank and Oscar Fish.

I asked this question several minutes ago but didn't seem to show up...so reposting...sorry if it duplicates.

I found out last night it is ok to keep a community tank of female bettas (groups of 3 or more) and I was wondering, is it safe to have one male betta in with the group as well?

Am thinking of starting my own business of setting up aquariums and getting them started for people who either don't have the time or know how...or they are just lazy. What would I need to do this? I've done aquariums, both fresh and salt since I was about 10, so my knowledge is fairly high on how to set up tanks, but didn't know if anyone had an idea of equipment or tools I would need to have.

I think the largest one is about 3 inches long. How come some have really big tail fins and some have smaller ones?

I am moving across the country. Its a 24 hour drive. And I have one small dog and a older outdoor cat that are absolutely are in love. I think they would die with out each other so I need to move them. The dog I am not worried about b/c she is staying with friends already in the state we are moving to, but the cat is a different story. Its really never been in a crate and its been outdoors for most of its adult life and its an awful long drive- how will she deal w/out going 2 the potty and she's not exactly litter box trained. We will be moving in our van were we will have 2 German shepherds in the back seat and a family member will be driving the u-haul. The family member said that he would drive with the cat in the cab but he REALLY doesn't want to hear cat crying. Will she ever shut-up?
And when we get there how do I keep it from running away.

Any suggestions or comments or hints will be great the best answer with the most detail and logic will get 10pts.
