Fish - September 2006

The other day all 5 of my fish died except one. I have a ten gallon tank and all 6 of my fish have lived in it for 3 months so why all of a sudden in the same day did 5 of them die? I had some tetras and a neon, an alge eater and some pink fish. My one fish is still living and the others died over a week ago. I dont get it. Can you help...

I am just starting a new tank of Shark fish, I have black fin sharks and Red tale sharks. I know they are rather agressive, so what other fish can safely live with them. I just dont want them eaten!
Please help :-)

one seems to be bullying the other into a cornerand won't let him out. Is this normal. I have a 3 gallon tank does that make a difference?

Not sure what type he is but he is a long orange fish with no fins and his body narrows at one end. I put him the tank 2 weeks ago and he has never moved, he just lays at the top of the tank completely motionless. I've never seen him eat or anything. He's beginning to look kinda mouldy. My mate reckons its because its a carrot.

I have 3 guppies in a 2.5 gallon tank. The tank has an undergravel filter and i plan on buying a larger tank when they start reproducing. Should i get a new tank? What size tank should I get? What type of filter should i use for this new tank?

I'm a new guppy owner. And I have a pregnant guppy, seems near to giving birth, who stays near the surface in a separate tank. In fact it seems like part of the top body is exposed to air. I just noticed within the last half hour, that the scales in that area fell off and I can see her flesh. What I am wondering, is it the atmosphere that's causing the scale to fall off or a disease? The only change I see are two small fleshy round spots on the mid part of her top body, which looks like the area exposed to air. Thanks.

my friend have goldfish pond in her home, last week her dad gave me 2 goldfish from their pond, they were too big and bright red in color, i bought 3 foot fish tank and some goldfish food from the store and kept them in, its been 4 days now but they are not active, they just stay bottom of the tank, when i feed them they won't eat anything, how long they can survive without eating anything. Does goldfish only live in pond? Should i return those fish to my friend again? whats should i do?

I have pressed glass marble stones on the bottom of my 20 gallon tank. The little fish cant move the rocks, so alot of food gets down there. Id like a catfish of some sort that will be able to get in there to clean that out, but it cant get too big, or go after the mollies and guppies. Any suggestions?

My kids friend have asked if they can have their fish and I didn't care, but our tank isn't set up yet and when I checked, our filtering system doesn't have a filter in it. I know this is a stupid question, (I am sorry about this to!) but can I use a cut to fit air conditioning filter in it until I can buy the correct thing? We have NO place in our town that sells fish aquarium supplies so I have to wait to go out of town to get some. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
