well i've had my bgk for about a month now and he seems to be doin fine the past two days during the night i have noticed some odd behavior he will hover above my largest plant in the tank and then he swims right into the base of the plant and just hangs inside of there after he eats and he stays there until morning when i turn the lights on i was wondering if this was wrong or if he just really likes it in there. i was also wondering if anyone knows a great place to find how to make a perfect habitat for the bgk and i was also wondering if lunar lights would be a good investment


Thanks,
Zach

OK so heres my question.....got our son a fish to go w his new terririum thingy, yeah and so we put Jaws(the goldfish) in his bowl & all seems to be going just fine. Heres whats weird, so Ive never had a fish just in a bowl before , ya know no filter or anything, well Jaws seems to spend most of his time at the surface kinda like kissing it...what Im wondering is, is this normal for fish tht live in bowls??? Is he gettin enough oxygen?? Im afraid he struggling for air to breath since there is no filter n stuff.....he seems fine but Im a littel worried anyways dont want the poor little guy to die I really like him. Thnks much in advance.

I'ved had this fish since it was born. I seperated the babies from the main tank and raised them. Not many survived, and this is the last one left. He is large now and about a year old. Latley he has been agressive with other fish. He is naturally red, and is not a goldfish. Grayish brownish scales are now running down his spine and a few tiny dots have appeared on his body. his nostrils are completley brown. It looks like some kind of disease. Anybody know what? and how I can fix it?

..in general.

Much appreciated if one is able to distinguish species by geographical region, if such a distinction exists in the first place.

I live in Phoenix area and petmart or petco or some aquarium stores here carry very limited varieties of goldfish. I'm a big goldfish fan, love fat goldfish(round 4 inches long) the most. Is there a specific store in phoenix area selling more species of fatter, bigger goldfish? Thanks.

I know you can overfeed fish, can it be possible they dont get enough? A small pinch or two and a algae tablet a day doesnt seem like much.

In a 75 gallon several fish have died lately. Water temp is good, all tests show water to be good, all levels check out, plants seem ok and the dead fish dont appear to have been attacked by anything else in the tank or show signs of sickness or anything. The tank has had two ghost shrimp, four snails, a cat fish, a pleco, and a flounder for some time now. Recently we added two frogs (died within 24 hours), a Guarmi which is still alive, a small angel fish (died within a week), a guppie(lived three weeks), a bala shark (lived two weeks). WHY?

I have three goldfish in a ten gallon tank. One of them isn't growing and his fins are disappearing. Is he being bullied bythe other two or is he sick? How can I tell and what can I do about it?

I am wondering if there is any real difference between the 2 different tanks of fish. You see the big tank with 12 feeder goldfish for about 1.29, and then there is the single bought goldfish in the smaller tanks. SO are they the same? DO they just separate out some and charge you more for those? What is the difference , if there is any in these two.

I currently have a communiy tank - at the moment it has a couple of gouramis. Tetras, pleco and a pair of angel fish. I would like to add a black ghost knife fish - would this be compatable with my current set up (it is a standard 4 Ft fish tank (200 litres))

I have heard that the original one will eat the new one, so I don't know whether or not to get another one.

ok so i am drawing up a plan to re-decorate my aquarium after i re-decorate my in late january early febuary. i have a few questions(answer most)
1.}will plants like Riccia Fluitans(crystalwort) grow over other ground cover type plants like Glossostigma elatinoides?(or vice versa)
2.}can anyone tell me more about CO2? & things that will add it to my aquarium[preferably store bought]
3.}has anyone tried a trick to make a "waterfall" in your aquarium using filter floss and sand? also any other "waterfall" making techniques!
4.}will glossostigma or cyrstalwort cover an entire aquarium wildly like java moss? or will stay within the perimeters and not grow over all the rocks?
5.}has anyone heard of letting java moss grow on a peice of cork floating youre aquarium? if yes could it end up getting really big and crowding the tank?(im kinda afraid of moss taking over my aquarium)
6.}i have some plants picked out that i dont think ill find @ petsmart or petco, any places in theDCarea?

Should I get 3 female bettas with 1 male, 4 female bettas with no male, 4 females with 1 or 2 males, or 4 males with no females? (I know you can't put males in the same tank! Don't say it please! I hate when people say it when I already know it and tell them not to say it!) Feel free to make up any of your own combo's. Thanks!

1. Are they legal to breed? (I heard a rummor that because they are so poisonous, they are not legal. Is it true?)
2. How much do they cost on average?
3. Do any of you have any? How difficult is it to take care of them?
4. Are there more than one kind of Scorpion Fish? I think I've heard of a Lion Fish also, maybe I'm just dreaming that one lol.
5. Any USEFUL information in helping me consider this new hobby would be appreciated.
