Fish - August 2006

i have had the fish for about 2 months and i feed them fish flakes and once in a while freeze dried blood worms one is white and orange and is smaller than the other which is black and has rainbow orange and red colorings on his lower sides and belly. we bought them both at the same time and they were the same size but now the black colored on is significantly bigger now.

I have recently purchased a "hognose" pufferfish.....I have now noticed that my red belly pacu has ick....is it safe to use the ick drops in the tank with my new puffer? I have heard that some medicines are unsafe for them, so I thought I would make sure before I did it.

I have Fry (finally...2 attempts)...now...I have small fry food, and research says to feed them this from 2-5 days...can I feed longer?...also says to feed microworms 5-9 days or so...can I feed the small fry food for a few days longer then start feeding Baby Brine Shrimp (frozen...tried to hatch, but I am not good at that...lost whole batch!)?

All suggestions will be appreciated!

I've had fish for years and I can't figure out what fish is bothering my guppies. I have mostly guppies, a few platys, 2 plecostamus(i can't spell it), white clouds, rosy barbs, and 3 black tetras. I have a 55 gallon tank and its been set up with these fish for about a year now. My guppies have never been poked at until now. What fish could it be so I can adjust them?

Do you need plants for your fish bowl and can fish live like a fish bowl or small compartment without a pump??

I check all my chemical balances every 5 days. Thankfully I have never once had a problem!! Ph is good, nitrates, ammonia, everything. All good. Temp ranges about 80 degrees. And fish are healthy... My male is always "busy" and has been for months. Im stumped because fish are old enough. I do have one male and four females. i know this ratio isnt the best, but i did it purposly because the male is very "busy" all day.

I got a new betta fish aquarium and it bubbles really badly at the top. It's not soap bubbles (keep that in mind) the oxygen doens't seem to be filtering throughout the aqarium. It doesn't seem to be hurting my fish. He is fine...but his food gets lost in the bubbles. I have to blow on the bubbles to make them go away so he can find his food. Does anyone know what is causing the bubbles or will my aquarium just balance itself out eventually?

I intend to get a cheap 2 gallon fish tank to hold some guppies over the winter and that is the reason for the question.

I expect to try and get the guppies out by the end of September and put them back in May.

they were doin very well and looked healthy until out of nowhere when i went to feed them tonite!!!!..they had some whitish dots on them but it did not look like ick!?..i put some aquarium salt in in case it is a parasite problem (they are about 7 months old) ((i have a pond in my back yard which i raise rosy reds in so they arent fed to the piranhas directly from the pet store aquarium))

I have three neon tetras, recently when I went to feed my fish I discovered neon fry swimming around. I was VERY SUPRISED because I deff' didnt see that coming. (YESTERDAY) Well now one of my neons is acting weird... (TODAY) Im not sure if its the one that had the fry or not. It kinda seperates from the other two neons (very unusual) and it is losing its bright colors. It kinda just likes to swim or be in my fish tank decor' by itself. (a bridge & a ship) ANY IDEAS?!

I need to bring my goldfish that I kept in a preformed pond in for the winter. How do I go about setting up an aquarium. Do I need an air pump? Do I have to let the water(My house is on a well) sit for a week before putting in the fish? Do I need a heater?

Thanks

AHHH!! I was just watching my betta fish swim around when I noticed that under his gills there is a big bump!! Is it just that i am overfeeding him and he is obese?? And i also noticed that his colour is dulling. His whole head is a yellowish maybe dirty yellow colour. I don't know if he is sick! And what can I do?
