i have salt water snails in my 10 gallon tank. I have a weever blenny that tends to attack them and has eaten 1 already. these are pretty good size snails. I had small ones before and they got eaten, so i got bigger ones. He tries to tip them over when they are on a rock. He just recently decided to do this. I have had them in the same tank for a few months now.

I also have a clown fish, a basslet, and an angel and they all get along, but this guy is causing problems and they said he wasn't aggressive. What the heck???

And I don't want to get rid of my weever blenny or my snails.

I'm using it for my aquarium and books say this are factors need to be considered. Is there really a difference? It is really necessary, because I’ve been using regular water for sometime now, all my fishes seem fine!

I'm having a really rough time keeping guppies. I've had them before, and they've been fine. But I recently got some, and they've been killing each other, pretty much. In a tank of one male and two females (5 gallon tank) the male attacked and killed a female, and now the female who's left (about 1.5 times the male's size) is attacking HIM and I think he's going to die now too!! I don't know what is going on. The water seems fine, it's been changed at least twice in the past two weeks. Like, a thorough change. Why are my fish killing each other?!!

do you think he'll be mad? Do you think it's possible he won't notice?

I was at a local fish store the other day and I noticed the fish tanks were amazing! Call it Fish tanks in HD! I asked the workers what the heck do you guys do? He said oh it's the filter we use pond filters instead of fish tank filters.

Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?

My fish tank is a 55gallon we use only the best food. We watch the nitrate, amonia and PH levels constantly. We add water clearing chemicals but still it's not as clear as I would like. We even purchased upgraded lights instead of the ugly yellow/white that would come witht he tank. Now, we still have the same filter that was included with the tank when we purchased it.

So my question to all of you... Do we try this pond filter and remove the fish tank filter or do we purchase a higher grade filter?

Thank you!

I have owned betta fish for several months. I have a desire to build on what I have. I don't have much more room to expand in. I already have a large, established indoor garden in my room (18 different pots with about 40-50 plants total). I want to add to my aquariums. I have three betta fish each in a different one gallon bowl. What are a few small compataible tank mates for my betta fish? I want to get a few neon tetras. Are they compataible? If they are not compatiable can neon tetras live without filtratration in a one gallon bowl? I don't have a lot of funds to work with (I am a college student). Also does anyone know if the neon tetras they sale at wal-mart are healthy and happy? Or is there somewhere else to aquire healthy neon tetras? I know all about raising bettas and caring for them (I researched bettas for about two years before buying one) but neon tetras and where to buy them is new to me. Are there any good sites on neon tetras? Thanks for any help.

I've currently got a fish, which has just lost some fins like 10 minutes ago, cuz my lil bro (3 yrs) put his hand in the bowl!!! but he's ok now, cuz I see him swimming around happily once again. He was in shock for a few minutes. I think he'd be safe in a bigger place, like a 10 gall tank, where my bro won't be able to reach and bother the fish. Anyways, what is a compatible group for my fish for a 10 gallon tank?

I have a 10 gallon tank which holds a Black Moor and another type of goldfish. The other type of goldfish is showing signs of possible Ich infection. It has these white fungus looking things growing on him. They're look very similiar to the tops of Dandelions.

I searched for a treatment and found one with heat and salt. I put the fish in a separate 1 gallon tank with 3 teaspoons of salt. (I put water conditioner in the tap water first.) I also raised the water temperature to 80 degrees. He is still very inactive and is only staying at the top of the water.

My Black Moor was exremely inactive the last day or so when the other fish was with it. Since I took the fish out for treatment, the Black Moor has been swimming all around and is very playful. Any ideas to what could have been wrong, or what is wrong?

One fish store said they are protien bubble and there is nothing to do to get rid of them. But another said protein bubbles only occur in salt water tanks. It makes my tank look bad and I want them gone!

I've had my Snowflake eel for almost a month now. I got him on Aug. 10 from a pet shop about 45 minutes away from my hometown. He is approx. 16 inches long (if not a little longer than that!) He has been doing fine in his tank for the past month. He lives in a 55 gallon aquarium with a Pleco. and two large Oscars (one albino and one tiger). The eel spends the majority of his time in a large log in the bottom of the tank and doesn't seem to have any problems co-existing with his tankmates. I've been feeding him ghost shrimp from a local pet store, popcorn shrimp from the deli at Wal-Mart, and some earthworms. I don't know for sure that he's even eating any of these things because neither I nor my husband have witnessed him eating. He usually spends his time in the log and comes out and swims around on occasion, but this morning when I left for work, he was laying kind of on his side. He was still breathing, and moving, but he wasn't his normal self. I'd appreciate any advice!

The sheet of acrylic I need is 6 feet by 2 feet. It is the bottom of the tank that cracked.How hard will this be to fix and is it possible to fix it? I don't know too much about fish tanks but it cracked because of too much pressure when we tested it with water. We build a better stand for it to take pressure off the glass. does anyone know about tanks? I want to try fixing this, but I don't want to spend the money and then find out it wont work. ANY ADVICE???

I recently moved and had my fish in a cooler. Unfortunately, they were in there about 30 hrs. I did check on them and putt stress coat in the water. When I pulled my largest goldfish out, his scales on the back half were very dry. Now they are white and peeling. He's moving around fine and eating, but it looks bad. Any ideas to help him recover faster?
