Have you ever had a fish inexplicably die on you?

My Homerwood passed on tonight, and is now swimming in the great sea. He's been somewhat...well, blah the last two weeks. He was lethargic and hanging out at the bottom of the tank, yet he still chased the silver dollars when they encroached his side of the tank. He ate - when he wanted to. He had no signs of disease (no growths, discolorations, etc.), was still brightly colored, fins weren't clamped. He just wasn't acting right.

So as a precaution we moved him into the quarantine tank three nights ago. Noticed he was swimming a little oddly at one point, and noticed he hadn't had a bowel movement. He'd already been fasting at that point, so we tried to feed him peas. He refused to eat. Thinking he was having swimbladder problems due to constipation, we added Epsom salts to help make him poop. Added one teaspoon last night, another half tonight to 10 gallons of water.

Woke up from my nap, and he had passed on.

I have a lone Zebra Danio that I got a few months ago (the others died). He is too aggressive for my community tank and I have had to move him to a one gallon tank (all that I have availible and I don't have room for another fully set up tank so don't say get a bigger one). I know this is cruel to keep him alone - I know, groups of three or more - but am afraid to return him to the scary pet shop that I bought him at. It's a fish concentration camp, but the next closest fishstore is more than 40 minutes away. I don't have friends or relatives that will take him. I was thinking my best bet is a little 1.5 gallon tank I own - if I can figure out how to filter it. If I get him two friends will he be ok in there? Also, I don't want other Zebra Danios - but I would do it if I have to for Chaos. Can I get other fish that will school with him? I heard something about Pearl Danios...

My daughter won a Goldfish earlier this evening, unexpectedly. I have the whole setup for a fish, except that I have food for the Betta fish that I used to have, but no Goldfish food. Until I can get to the store tomorrow afternoon, is it OK if I give the Goldfish a pinch or 2 of Betta food?

I have two of them. One is brown with dark brown dots. The other is light brown with dark brown stripes. Do these plecos get big and if so how long does it take for them to get to be over 10 inches. I have had them for about 9 months and they are both about 2 1/2 inches long. they are in a 20 Long tank.

I am getting that goldfish sooner than I thought: TONIGHT! I am excited but nervous. Could you help me overcome my fears?

1.) What if she gets me a tiny tank? I am a kid with no job, and I don't have the money to get a large tank! What should I do if she gets me a tiny tank?

2.) What should I feed it?

3.) I am going trick-or-treating tonite cuz it's Halloween (and my b-day) and what should I do with the fish until then?

4.) Is there anything else I must know?

5.) What if there's noooo filter? GOLDFISH ARE MESSY! I can't have a goldfish in a tank without a filter... how much do they cost???

Thanx!
