Fish - August 2006

He thinks it's another betta. I know about the whole, they attack other bettas. I am worried he will stress himself out to much.

I bought a algae eater and one sales person said I had to put algae tablets in the water or it would starve, and another said not to because it would get lazy and not keep the tank clean. Any suggestions??

My setup is a 55-gallon saltwater tank, set to about 78-degrees. Current residents include a percula, a cinnamon clown, a few damsels, a coral beauty angel, and a snail and a shrimp. I have a standard hood and would prefer not to add metal halide or other specialized lights, if possible. Can anyone suggest any species of anemone that would work well (colorful would be nice, but not a dealbreaker)? Anything special I should know in terms of care and feeding? Any particular dangers to my current tank setup?

I am planning to get a betta, some tetra, and a snail or two. My tank comes with all the systems "fully intrigrated" including a motor that pumps water through the filtrations. Now here is the question. Do i need an air stone/ air pump? Do any of them the fish i am planning to get need one or need to NOT have one?

When you buy Gold fish or any other fish at a store or win them at a carnival, they are placed in a plastic bag filled with water. They tend to always swim toward the corner of the bag and stay there. Why is that?

And I know it's not because the water is moving around a lot on the top because they do this even when the bag is left sitting.

I got wonderful answers the first time around although I am sure there are alot of great ones out there, 'd like a few more, so I am reopening the question. I jst got a new beta fish & need a good handle for him. He was the last one in the store that no one wanted.?
I am hoping for something significant to the fact that he was the last one. So far all we can come up with is Belle (Saved by the Bell)



someone asked, it is a male betta, these answers are awesome keep them coming and he'll be named the best one. Thanks all!

Around Christmas or next year I am planning on getting a saltwater aquarium. I have had freshwater aquariums for a few years. I think I'm ready to move on to bigger and better tanks.

Do you have any suggestions as far as what kind of fish I could put in a 30 gallon aquarium? What kind of coral or algea-eating fish could I have? I'd like some Clowns, Crabs, Shrimp, Lobster, Clams, Coral, Eels (maybe), and lots more!! I know of an octopous that can get to only 3" that I found for sale online! I think I could get a few.

Don't judge by the size on the aquarium please, as I might get a 130 gallon aquarium. I'm very excited so please don't rude my joy. :)

I have a 55 gal freshwater tank. My red devil fish Lou who's occupied the tank for 8 years recently died and now I'm wondering what to replace him with. I've had most fresh water fish that I'm interested in and now am thinking about changing that tank into a salt water tank for a change. Is this expensive to do? What do I need to do? Are salt water tanks really that much more work than fresh??

As many of you know I had a tank with 20% if its water missing yesterday for a good four hours. When the water came back on I let it run for 2 min I filled up the tank and used aqua-safe. This morning one of my swordtails is hanging out by the heater and her fins are clamed when she does move i can tell its shimmy. I've vaccumed out the tank changed 20% of the water and added quick cure. Is there anything else I can do?

If it claims to be genetics, shouldn't there be research and data...
I can't find any data on crosses/breedings, especially with many intermixing colors and I keep finding flaws with Jim Sonnier/Dr. Gene Lucas and All About Betta splendens.

Examples:
If blue/green/iridescence is all controlled by one type of pigment cell shouldn't iridescence only show itself with blue and greens fish?
Is it possible to have a cambodian with melano fin color if the fish has two copies of the recessive for each trait? How come we never see this, especially since people claim that the cambodian gene modifies black cell pigment?
Why is it assumed that the two non-reds, yellow and orange, are controlled by different genes instead of being different alleles of the same gene?

Any intelligent speculation on any of these questions is appreciated. Thanks.

Why do I have to seperate my male and female baby swordtails (fry) at four weeks of age? Is it so they don't mate with each other? Also, the biggest fish in my tank right now is two adult swordtails, each about 2 inches long. How long will it be until the newborn fry will be able to be put in the show aquarium with the adults without fear of being eaten? Also, how big do the fry have to be?
