A fish just died in my aquarium. I have already removed it, but should I change the filter now or wait to see if any more fish die before I change it?

My friends think I'm a little weird because I talk about fish so much and they like dogs and cats...

I just LOOOOOOOVE my fish.
Especially my bettas.

Is this weird or not?

Hi there! I was just wondering what was the best way to clean my fish tank at home. I actually have it since 3 months and i have 3 comets, 1 blackmoor, 2 grey fish which i dunno the name, and 1 catfish. The only problem with the fish tank is that it gets dirty very quickly, and each time, i have to clean the power filter!!! I give them small pellets to eat. Please advice...

Have an oscar who had one of his fins torn up pretty badly by another fish. I've put him in his own tank, but is there anything I can do to help the fin heal? Will it heal by itself?

Hi someone give me an oscar fish and i have never had fish before so I don't know anything about them. How do I clean the tank and what do a do with the fish while doing so? It needs cleaned sooo bad. I need to take the rocks out and whatever. There is sooo much food all in his rocks (I know I'm feeding him too much). And I'm scared for the fish be/c the other day he jumped out the of tank (the lid is broke) and we don't know how lone he was out of water. I actually thought he was dead but put in the tank any way and later looked and you could tell he was breathing. I also wanted to know how much should he be feed a day? Thanks soooo much!!!

I am interested in starting up an aquarium to raise 5 or 6 Discus and 6 cory catfish. I intend to have it well planted, .

Would a 50 gallon aquarium be adequate size? Also, what would be a good choice of companion fish? Something small, that schools up, and would not disturb the discus. I am thinking maybe Neon tetras.

What is the best technique to feeding my small african dwarf frog. It is a small 2.5 gallon minibow, where i have a betta and 3 small platies. They seem to get the live worms before my froggy does. What is the best method to feed my froggy with, and how should I feed him? Also, can I handle him, as in take him out of the water, and hold him in my hand? Help please!!!

I have a one gallon fish tank. I have had it for quite sometime and have had other fish live in it for up to 2 months. But for some reason now every fish I buy dies. I feed them properly and make sure to slowly introduce them to the water. What could I be doing wrong that they would die after a few days!?

I thought the decorator crab was a perfect addtition to my 70 gallon reef tank and when the store said it would not harm any thing else I took it. It disapeard very quick and started covering himself and I could not find him until I added a coral banded shrimp and as soon as it went in a rocky arm snathed it from the life rock and devoued him untill nothing was left but a leg. Now I am finding missing fish and I cant get him out because I cant find him at all except at night but he is pretty fast. Going to have to clear out everything to take him out before he destroyes alot of money. Anyone else have a decorator crab and have had problems?

Two days ago I changed 2 gallons of the 6 gallon tank where my Betta lives and made sure the water was the right temperature. I left him inside while I changed the water but today he is just swimmig in one corner and is sometimes just lying at the bottom...!!!! what do I do? should I change more of the water? or...? I have no idea. I did put in some conditioning drops when I put him in there... I also checked the ammonia, nitrate... anyhow he is lying in the bottom and is not moving I dont know what to do...

Well I've had my fish tank for about 4 months I bought 8 fish and since then they have all died except for 3. My water temp is good. They get fed right. And I clean the tank regularly.

I have a 6-gallon fish tank at work, with 5 gold barbs in it. They have eaten two plecostomuses so far, over weekends when the office temperature got up to 90 degrees or so (on two separate occasions). I had left the light on in the tank, so I think perhaps the plecostomuses couldn't handle the heat, died, and the gold barbs ate them. Either that or the barbs got too hungry.

Now I have algae growing in the tank, and wonder if there is any algae eater hardier than a plecostomus that I could get to solve that problem. It's cooler now, and the office temperature shouldn't be an issue on the weekends (I also learned to turn the tank light off when I leave each day, which should help).

Would the tank be too crowded if I got a larger plecostomus? (The gold barbs are about 1 1/2" to 2" long now.) Should I try again with a small one, now that heat should no longer be a problem?

Are there any other alternatives?

how heavy a tank can you have before having to reinforce the floor?

whats the weight of your tanks?

1litre of water is 1 kilo in weight.
