I have two females and one male parrot in a community tank. The females are obsessed with making hills and valleys with the stones at the bottom of the tank and then proceeds to attack any fish that dares to approach their claimed territory. I presume they are making nests to produce their eggs. What do I do about this since the other fish are all carnivores.

My friends just gave me everything need for a home aquarium. the water at his place was clean. (fresh water) I have his filter, i cleaned out everything, put water from my kitches sink. although it is kind of dirty, probally from the rocks that he also gave me. The filter is on, will the water get clearer and be able to see through better overnight?

Ok I know I sound cheap. I saw some flourescent lights at Petco for $150. I saw the same size flourescent lights at Home Depot for like $30. They both held 2 lights. Why so much for the tank ones? Could I use the Home Depot ones if I changed the light bulbs out for some aquarium ones? Its the same thing, right?

One of my playtes has his right side fin almost cut in half. It looks as if someone took a bit out of him and along the edge it's all white. My other playte also has this on his back fin. Its white around the edge like the other one. i did a water change to see if it would help like 3 days ago. I tested the water and all of the levels are perfect. i have no clue why this is happening.

We bought our tank three weeks ago adn it started to get cloudy so we did a 1/3 water change and its still quite cloudy. We've got 12 fish who we feed twice a day. Anyone got any ideas how to clear it or what the problem actually might be?

What I mean by other fish is, my calvus and my geophagus, I pretty sure all of the T. Diboises will eventually die.

My outdoor pond used to be full of gold fish. Now there are two! Do you think it's raccoons eating them? It's a pretty deep fountain, I'm thinking a cat would be like "screw this". And I've seen the masked punks running around at night, they love our trash cans as well.
Plus when I save the guys today, can I put them in a tank with a beta? Betas are fine with goldfish right?
Thanks for your help!

I have successfully bred betta splendens roughly about 15 - 20 times. At the start there were a few problems but nothing major , and I learned from that. I have successfully raised between 30 - 50 young fish to a good size before selling them to the pet shop for a very little profit, but its a hobby and I enjoy it. My question is this: The last time ( about 6 months ago) a newly purchased male and female bred or me successfully.I fed them the usual rich foods like earthworm, bloodworm, tubifex and SOME flake food. Everything was fine for a couple of weeks and then the fry began to dwindle. I was left with 4 fish out of roughly 40 and 3 of them have seemed to have developed swolen bellies and have a swimming defect, 1 is 100% perfect, all are females.I'm simply baffled. The parents were both nice sizes and bred perfectly. Would there be a genetic defect in one of them??

but nobody believes me because he never sings when there is company. Also, I'm insane, which means that people tend not to believe me. Anyway, I have recorded the fish singing and it sounds EXACTLY like the Robbie Williams song "Angel" with instruments and EVERYTHING and he can sing ANY TUNE almost and he even does commercials, oh, and what makes this incredible fish even more special is that he can live OUT OF WATER and looks EXACTLY LIKE A RADIO!!! Do you think the zoo would be interested in buying such a marvellous fish?
