My poor goldfish suffered a tragic traumatic injury when I was cleaning leaves out of the pond the other day. It now suffers from a bent spine. Should I let it pass naturally, because I doubt it will be able to eat because it spirals when it swims and has been spending most of the time on its side at the bottom of the pond. Or, should I give it a quick end? If so, how? I have read several articles on the internet, but they are full of speculation. Should I just put it in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer?

I have a 10 gallon fish tank with 3 fish in them that are in the goldfish family. I just did a 100% water change yesterday and already i see sings that the water is getting cloudy. Can someone help? Are there any products that can help keep the water clear? Is my tank to small for my growing fish, they're not that big!

I got my kids a fish tank for Christmas. It is a 10 gal, with a male and a female, guppy. Also a single living neon fish. Well last night my kids came running in and said there is baby fish, sure enough six baby guppies. So what else should I do? I made an emergency run to petsmart to buy a nursery.(small net thing, that seperates fish) I put the babys in it, and now what.....? So they need special food? how many babies were there? how often does this happen? I was expecting babys, but not two days after i put them in there!!!! There is six living... will they all live? where can i read more...?

I have been treating my 3 fish with Maracyn now for 3 days. It has cleared up the eyes on my 2 black moors but my goldie is still not well. She is sitting at the top of the tank in the same corner for almost 4 days. I have a feeling she may be constipated. Would this make them hide in a corner?. Anyways, i am not going to feed them for a day or two and try the green pea thing to see if I can bring her back to health. I noticed today when wakeing up that my tank is cloudy. I am not to sure if I should do a partial water change (did a bi-weekly yesterday). I know this is from the meds. I read that water changes can add stress for the fish. I figure they are having enough "stress" right now with Maracyn. But the water is scaring me...... to change or not to change.....what would you do? thanks

I have a ten gallon tank with currently
1 pleco
1 molly
3 female swords (breeding)
2 male swords
3 small rasboras.
None are aggressive, even when eating.
I also have a 2.5 gallon tank where I had my sword give birth to about 20 fry. I was just wondering if I could let the sword give birth in the 10 gallon tank? I have a ton of plants, and some "breeding grass". Thanks for helping!

I have a 55 gallon tank with fish I have had for 2 years. I had one snail. It died not to long ago. But before it died I noticed I have about 20 baby snails. Where did they come from? Only one snail is all I had. The only other thing we can think of, is my son visited a lake in Michigan and brought some shells home and put them in the tank. Without washing them. So, do you think they came from my one snail, or, were they attached to these shells somehow and survived 2 weeks out of the water before they went into my tank? I can't figure this one out. Anyone know?

2 south american bumblebee catfish
5 guppies(2 male 3 female)
1 bulldog pleco
1 mystery snail

2 german ram cichlids

7 guppies(4 male 3 female)

1 mystery snail
4 cherry barbs

I know my tank is incredibly overstocked because I was on the border between overstocked and not overstocked before, now I am basically screwed. I have the tank overfiltered and I have a jungle of plants so ammonia, nitrite, nitrates are not a problem. I am worried because having soo many fish in such a small space IS going to cause stress, and I can not get anymore tanks. So does anybody have any ideas on how I can improve the situation?
