Fish - December 2006

As suggested by my LFS, I bought the frozen brine shrimp (this is my first puffer pet).

How do I feed this frozen food to my puffer? Do I just drop the block of frozen food to the fish, or do I have to warm it up with some hot water then dump it all in?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Right now, i have it soaking through in a bucket, how long should I wait until i put it into my tank.

also, i have heard that marine sand is not good for freshwater, i have play sand, but my dad uses marine sand from the pet store, it says it is healthy for the freshwater and saltwater fish, the people at my reliable LFS told me this, as well as my dad?

My brother is having a problem with what he says are "green very tiny tadpole looking things". He says they look like larva and turn the water into a greenish color, when he opens the lid there are alot of nats on the inside of the lid. I'd appreciate if someone could tell me what they are and no, he doesn't have frogs in his aquarium. I was thinking that they were "planaria"? But I don't know. Any insight could help.

i have a 18" fluorescent lightbulb on the light on my 29 gallon aquarium, i am going to turn it into a planted aquariums soon. If i get a full spectrum bulb for that light on top of this full spectrum wall lamp from target thats 13 would i have enough light for most plants?

In total it would be-1 18" full spectrum fluorescent tube, and one 13w full spectrum tube.

i really dont want to dish out teh money for plants and have them die on me!

What type and size tank do I need? What type water? How much is a pair of seahorses? What type pet store sales them? PetSmart doesnt have seahorses, and you cant buy them at Seahorses R' Us. Yes this is a serious question. I have had freshwater aquariums in the past with success. Thank you.

Goldfish HELP! :)

This might sound silly and funny at the same time, but there is one little thing that's confusing the living-daylights out of us... Our Goldfish has changed colors!

My Husband and I have 40-gallon aquarium that contains 7 Goldfish, 1 Gourami, 2 Danios and 1 Betta (believe it or not... yes, we do have Male "KGB-Undercover-Agent" Betta inside the fish-tank). When we got them (without Betta), we had only one deep-grey-green colored Goldfish and the rest were orange-with-white colors Goldfish. Starting about 2 or 3 weeks ago, the darker colored Goldfish started changing its color to orange with flakes of white. As of right now, the fish is totally orange only the spine-fin, the tail and a little of the side-fins are still the present color. The question(s) of the day: Why did it do that?! Is the Goldfish confused as to which side to join? Is it sick? Or, is it a naturally occuring phenomenon in the wild?

Please help to explain this situation. Thank you so much!

Hello, I've been trying to grow brine shrimp for the past few months, but just for the fun of it. I'm wondering if anyone has ever been able to raise brine shrimp just on yeast? I've done a lot of research on the habitats of brine shrimp and i have even recorded and used different mixtures of salts and baking soda, but yet... i can never get them to live too long. I give them a lot of light and i use distilled water, but something is still missing. I have once grown brine shrimp to adulthood but they weren't very healthy... and they looked like they could die off any minute. (this culture was provided with oxygen too) Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how to raise brine shrimp and have them reproduce to create a continuous cycle? I would greatly apreciate your help. Thnx

Ugggh! I have 4 beautiful Goldfish but I have gotten really fed up taking care of them. I clean there water every week and I also clean there filter every couple of days. I would like them to die because when they do I would be able to use the tank for something else. My dad gave me the "helpful" suggestion of just flushing them down the toilet. Well I am an animal freak and would never want to kill and animal. Is there any way that you can slowly let goldfish die without causing pain or feeling guilty the rest of your life?

Rae

Also if anyone lives in or near Collingwood than I would be happy to give you my fish for free.

My goldfish suffered a traumatic injury when I was cleaning leaves out of my pond. It now has a bent spine and is not able to swim straight. It just rolls when it swims. Is there any treatment? Is there any hope that its injury will heal? I need to know if I should end its suffering or try to let it get better. Thanks for your help!

My Betta fish Princess, is about, well I just got her like 4 days ago. Just today, I nocticed the water has a slimey flim over the top of the water, and it also smells of chemicals :/


Could the water be contaminated?
Or is it the water pellets that I dropped in to clear the water of chemicals.



Also,
I have put in at the bottom of the tank, some rocks that I bought in the fish depot. and also some glass rock thingys that I bought in the graft depot, could the ones from the craft depot. be letting off a chemical


I have grown very attatched to Princess, and I want what's best for her. I would hate to see her fall ill, or die because of me :'[
