I bought a used 10 gallon tank and it only has 1 bulb (theres room for another) and I think it is 15 watt. I already have a heater preset to 76-80 degrees, should be 78 exactly. Will the light bulb harm my fish? how long should I leave it on?
I also have another 10 gallon tank that has a UV/Florescent light bulb, will that harm my male guppy? They also have a heater at 78.

My female just had about 30 babies and I was curious if there is a way to tell what the gender is when they're still very young? Or do I have to wait till they start getting color?

I purchased a fake coral for $49 at Petco. It was a beautiful orange coral color.

About 6 months later it is black and looks terrible.

How can I remove the black while not poisoning the fish water?

I think I read somewhere to use clorox but I just can't .... it seems too poisonous.

I have a fresh water tank with chiclids.

Thank you!

what kind of pet fish can you have that don't need a filter. In other words, just plain water?

My son received a tadpole from his kindergarden class at the end of last school year and we put "Taddie" in a little tank and fed him what was recommended on the instructions. So I changed his water as specified and fed him and all that, but he never changed into a frog, I mean he never even developed legs, and then he just died. So what happened to Taddie?

I have a tank that comes with a light bulb. (dont know what kind but it can hold 2 mini light bulbs and it only holds one.) I think it might be a 15 watt light bulb.
I also have another 10 gallon tank with a florescent/UV lighth bulb, can I use that? (limited in cash)
Is it okay if I keep only 2 females in a 10 gallon tank with a separator for the fry?
Is it okay if I keep 3 males and an algae eater in another 10 gallon fish? ( I read that they like to be in communities?)

I want to buy guppies and have limited money. I bought everything except Air pumps, I read online somewhere that you don't need them. Also do I need to buy a vaccum to clean the gravel? I don't have too much gravel, probably about 1/2 cup a gravel. (i will clean the tank every week).
Should I buy an algae eater in the tank to help keep it cleaner?
I am only buying 2 females in 1 ten gallon tank, and im buying 3 males for another 10 gallon tank. (I plan on breeding them)
oh, the most important question i have is, What kind of lighting do I need??? I have a UV/Florescent light bulb, will that work? I also am going to use a 15 watt light bulb that came with the fish tank? Will it harm them??? Thanks.

I have a 55 gallon tank of fresh water community fish .. but I also like the semi-aggressive and aggressive fish as well. Are there any specific positives or negatives about switching from one to the other ? Such as .. semi-aggressives are harder to take care of because .. (?) etc.. Or it really doesn't matter which you go with as far as care and tending to the fish and tank ? ::::::::::::::::::::::

they just sit up top between the filter and the heater. they are alive because I can try to nudge them away, but they just run right back, they're not doing their job in my tank and I'm mad. I turned up the water temp, but they just like it right there and they dont come out. There is a coral substrate, and several live rocks to for them to live on . Its 55 gallons, I have two damsels, a royal gramma, and a goby, plus a sea star, and some snails. what can I do to make the little punks go live on the bottom ??

I have 2 10 gallon tanks and plan to put 2 females in one 10 gallon and plan to put 3 males in another 10 gallon. I asked the people at petsmart and they said 24 hours, but I've read that it should be at least a month? I bought a bacteria supplement and something else to help start up the tank, so how long should I keep it running until I get the fish?

I went to Wal-Mart to check out the fish there, and I noticed some cute little pink fish they had there. There was also blue fish which looked like the smae kind of specie. They weren't Neon Tetras, they were more rounder, about maybe 1.5 inch??? I'm guessing. Does anybody know what kind of fish these are???
