Fish - August 2006

I once owned two black goldfish and in the morning I'd wake up and they'd be on the ground. This happened several times until I got a bigger tank with a cover. Has this happened to anyone else of did I have mentally disturbed fish?

I know pretty much the basics about my fish tank. I have a 29 gal. with tropical fish and some shrimp. Then I have a 10 gal. with 3 Pacus in it. I know enough to make them happy and take care of them, but I would like to know more. Is there a good website that could tell me more than the basics of taking care of a tropical fish tank? I dont need to know how to clean or how to feed, but rather, how to make my fish bigger and how to make my filtration systems last longer.

I wanted to fill the bottom with just marbles, but its taking a while, should I buy some gravel to put on the bottom to hold the plants up and then layer the top with marbles instead so that way I don't have to spend so much on marbles? How big of a bag of gravel would I need for a 10gal aquarium?

But one day the tank broke down and now they are shifted to a 10 g tank which is partitioned as they fight very much.My flower horn is just four moths old named duke and he has outgrown the 10g tank.My oscar named killer is just 5 inches long and not grown much since the tank broke down.I want to ask :-
1) Now as my mother will not be going to buy another aquarium that big how much big aquarium should i buy so that growth of flower horn and oscar will not be stunted.
2) Which kind of food should i feed to both of my cichlids
3) My oscar don't like to eat pellets and just eats fishes,insects and raw meat of goat how to make him eat pellets as my flower horn eats those pellets and has grown 3 inches in 3 months.
4) Any other suggestion that you know.

Thanks I will give 10 points to the best answer.
Bye.

I won 2 goldfish tonight at the fair for my daughters. They came home in little plastic critter carriers. I am now scared that they may die because they don't have any air tubeing. Does anyone ele have goldfish living like this? If they do die are there any fish that can live a safetly in a critter keeper without air tubeing? I know bettas can, but is ther anything that you can put in with a betta? Or is there anything I could put in it? Such as a frog, sucker fish, shirmp? Thanks!

Prayers? Flushing down the plughole? Burial in backyard? Or simply in the trashcan? Or snack for pet cat/dog? Or snack for you on a whole-wheat cracker?
