One of my larger barbs is being picked on by a newbie. Little one attacked big one and chewed up his fins. He gets around fine with his tail, albeit a little slower than his tankmates. I don't know if it's dumb to ask if they will eventually grow back?

Hi. In the spring, I am putting my small pond goldfish into the pond, but I have nothing to do with the tank. It has an excellent bio-wheel filter... I just HAD to add that... anyways, I want it to be a tropical tank. The fish need to be:

1. Less than 4 inches when full-grown
2. Hardy
3. Not expensive
4. Not agressive
5. Tropical or Coldwater (NO saltwater!)

Thank you...

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Ok, well im not sure what those thingies are called, that you attach to your faucet and then it comes out "purified" that makes it good for you to drink. Well anyway, I wanted to know if it is ok for a betta?

okay my question is since my guppy is pregnant(i think) and christmas is coming up so i have no money to buy another tank i was thinking i would just use the breeder net until they get to big then i would seperate them by male and female into a few rubbermaid containers, so heres the question: will a heater in the tank burn the sides or anything since its not glass?

I am pretty sure my black molly is about the give birth, for the last two days she is hiding at the bottom of the tank or under the rocks. She is very fat and seems like she is pregnant.

I moved her to the small breeding tank that float in the big tank last night and this morning when I woke up, I noticed that her belly is almost gone but there were no babies, she still looks fat but much less than before.

Does anyone has any clue to what's going on with her???

Thanks for your help

For a 10 gallon tank, with high Nitrite level , what filter do you recommend ? Currently, I have a top fin filter that came with the tank, but I'm wondering if it's good cause they water is always bad no matter what I do. It's a 1 month old tank.

I found the fish I want, I even named him (LOL). He is a little bigger than my other 2 fish. My moor is about an inch and my shubunkin is about an inch and a half. I think the new ryukin I want to add is about 2.5-3 inches. Will this be ok?

He could not apparently swallow for 8 weeks, just spit them back out, now eats one smaller pellet every couple of days and lays at the bottom all the time.His bright red color has deapened to a near brick red color. Does he simply need heated water or is this normal for his breed?

ALGAE!! yikes! I have a 40 gallon aquarium in my room. lately there has been alot of brown algae growing in it. it seems liek theres kjust a thick blanket of it that appears over night! . i have a full grown black moor gold fish in there and 2 smaller feeder fish i added in the other day. I have been cleaning the tank every 2 weeks. which is a hassel since its so big. i have been limiting my light use. it hasnt been on at all this week and more and more keeps showing up. its NOT in direct sunlight and i have been using "algae destoryer" which isnt doing much (and yes i have been foloowing the instructions) how do i contorl all of this algae! it smells so bad sometimes i cant even sleep in my room!!

how do i prevent it besides limiting light use. what other treatments are there to contorl/ or eliminate it all together?

i cant be algae eaters cause i do not have a thermometer cause all i have are 3 gold fish in the tank. i do have a filter and air pumps in it.

I posted a similar question a while ago and after some research, I am now looking for a new opinion. I have a shubunkin named Stewie and a black moor name Colby. I just got a new 29 gallon tank. I would like to get them one more friend. Now someone here has said that these 2 types should be seperated, but they get along well. They were in the same tank when I bought them, and I would prefer not to seperate these babies. Saying all this, what would be an appropriate choice for a third goldie. I am thinking maybe a comet or another moor? Maybe a Ryukin? I am not too sure. I'd appreciate some input.

Thanks!

If I put a small albino cat in with them will he attack it or does he just go after all the other mollies I have added?

I am in the process of implementing an empty 100g tank. What is the best way to clean the glass before the addition of fish and plants? Are there any recommended products that not only remove calcium deposits and muck but will not harm a future fish and plant populations?

i have looked at many web sites that show some of the replacement parts for this filter, specifically filter media, but i am looking for a place to order parts of the filter itself.

I have brought a few Blood Parrot 2 days ago.. But they seem to just hide at one corner and not swimming around.. What happen to them and what should i do? Any other fish species could share a tank with them?

Do fish sleep? Do they need 'time off' and I noticed that the water temperature gets alittle too high if I leave both lights on so I've been unscrewing one light and that seems to be better. I have 2 Red Bellied Pacus and they're getting HUGE! Are they good eating? (that was a joke!)
