I am trying to setup a marine aquarium. As i don't have a sea nearby, i need to find alternate ways to make ocean/sea water at home. So i need to know what is the difference between the sea water and the water we can prepare. (Home preparing: Mixing water with rock salt). So i would like to know your suggesstions on how to prepare the water ?

Recentlty I got 4 fish tanks and I really feel lucky about it but there is a problem. I dont know whether fishes feel my love for them. I think having a pet dog is more wonderful than having fishes because they only serve the purpose of decoration. Whats your opinion?

I have heard that fishes bring luck. I have got 2 fresh water aquariums in my basement and one salt water. Somebody told me that doing meditation and other healing therapies in the presence of fish can be very relaxing. Can you give me any site or online article or share your knowledge? I will be thankful to all the people who try. You can also tell your experince or opinion.

If I want to move a fishtank to somewhere else in my home, how do I do it? It's very heavy even though it's only a 10 Gallon, and it obviously can't be carried. Also, how would one move a fishtank to a new home? I was thinking of purchasing fish that last for a while, but I don't think I'll be in the same house for 15 years.

How often should I change my Betta's water completely? I don't understand the whole 50% 25% or that stuff. Could you explain that? And how do I go about changing him from his old water to the new water. I don't want to shock him. I have water conditioner.....Please help!

I feel so sad. I just figured out today that he probably has dropsy and I have given him an epsom salt bath and he seems to . . . not gonna make it. It makes me not want to get any more Betta's because I feel like I should've been able to save him. But I also feel bad just knowing about all those Betta's up there at Wal-Mart in those little bitty containers.

I just got my male betta fish today. He is in a 1/2 gallon tank right now. Is it true he wouln't live as long in this tank? I know I need to get a thermometer. Do I REALLY need to get a heater? And the same thing with a filtration system. I have Betta Bowl Conditioner. Is that the same thing? What else do I need to get???

I saw a question earlier about a Beta fish. I may be wrong, although I doubt it, that the advice the asker was given was so offbase. You only have to change the water in a tank no more than once a week. And then the most you should siphon out is 25%! You should NEVER, I repeat NEVER take out 50% 3 times per week. That answer is so wrong I couldn't believe the answerer believed it was the correct advice. Also, Beta fish are normally very lazy fish. If you don't believe me try placing another Beta next to your Beta's tank, but not in the SAME tank. They aren't called Siamese Fighting Fish for nothing. It's called Flarring!
That's how they are judged at fish shows.

Anyone with any good tips on having a male Betta for the first time? And why the heck does he look like he's in attack mode all of the time. He's not moving. Just in attack mode. Is he dying?

I really need to make a filter for my fry tank, because so far, they are so small that they will get sucked right up the filter. It has to be easy and affordable. Could you explain it really clearly please?
