I have fed it Hikari Bio-Gold pellets ever since I've gotten him back in September. Suddenly last week it started refusing to eat the pellets, even though I did not change its diet at ALL.

It does not appear sick. It looks pretty healthy with its vibrant skin color, and he is active as a healthy betta should be. The water is clean, the temperature is fine, and he randomly made a bubble nest yesterday even though he hasn't eaten at all!

Can someone help me out before it starves to death?

How long do I have before it will die..?

I'm a crabber in CA, I drop nets off my local piers two to three times a week. I usually catch between five and twenty good sized rock crabs a trip. Can anyone give me info on how to set up a tank to keep some of these crabs live? I have a twenty gallon tank to use, and I've never set up any kind of salt water tank, so I'm starting from scratch. What I need to know is equipment needed(filter, airator, etc), salinity, amount of crabs that can live in a twenty gallon tank, etc. I've seen a few businesses that will keep thirty or forty crabs in a twenty to thirty gallon tank. Can that many be kept together? Any info would help, I can't seem to find any web sites that deal with live crab storage. Thanks!

My betta, Sigma, might be sick. The tips of his fins, instead of being flared out, are clumped; that is, the tips of his fins are stuck together, almost forming a point, while the innermost fins are spread out. There are no spots on his body and he's exhibiting no other signs of illness (he's pretty active and he flares up when provoked). I just want to know if anyone has any idea what might be wrong with him.

I'm converting my 10gal freshwater aquarium to a saltwater fish only. I have a marinelnd powerfilter, thermometer, heater and light (I will change the bulb to 50/50). I know I will be needing new sand (aragonite) and hydrometer.
My question is, do I still need a protein skimmer? powerhead? or my powerfilter will be enough (he powerfilter is for 20gal, so this is kinda strong for 10gal)?

I know a lot of you would say don't use a 10gal aquarium for saltwater, but this is the only available for me now due to space.

We've just brought him home yesterday, and he was very active in the waterbag on the way home.

However since gradually introducing him to his new tank, he's been quite inactive, he lies on the bottom of the tank alot.

He seems bright, his eyes are moving and he looks around a lot, no signs of lost scales and very perky, healthy fins etc.

He eats rapidly and with enthusiasm and comes to the surface to do so, however once he's eaten he retreats back down to the bottom of the tank and doesn't really do much at all...

Is it just taking a while for him to adjust after being moved? Are Oranda's generally bottom-dwelling?

Would appreciate advice from people who have kept Oranda's themselves before thanks.

Hi i just got a new aquarium and fish and my pearl gourami is hiding behind the heater and isnt eating. I read that they will do this if they have overly aggressive tank mates but the only other fish i have in the aquarium is a bamboo shrimp but they are very peaceful and dont even have claws to attack other fish. My aqarium is 29 gallons and the temperature is around 80 degrees

I've had goldfish for over a decade now (different sets) and never have any of my goldfish been pregnant. My tank is big and I have many goldfish. It baffles me why they dont reproduce.
