I have a 75 gal. reef tank and I am having bad trouble with green bubble algae. It is spreading everywhere! I know to remove it without bursting bubbles. I know not to just do nothing because they mature and spread spores. (learned that the hard way) I hand remove all I can but on the larger live rock with corals attatched I can't just pluck it out of the water and rinse it off to remove spores. I have heard emerald crabs work , but I am afraid they might start eating my coral. Any advise on the removal of this pain would be greatly appreciated.

Right now, I have 1 betta in a 2.5 gallon tank. There is always a problem with algae and its like it always grows. Yes, I keep the light on for quite a while, but it seems like now that it has already been ravaged by algae before, it dosn't take that much to make it grow again. To kinda slow the progress of this problem I was thinking about either a chemical solution to the problem, like some drops that won't harm my fish, or another fish. The thing is I don't know how betta interact with other non-betta fish. You know the algae eater fish, the ones that constantly stick to the glass or the bottom of the tank? So I wondering could it be possible to have them live together. I've had my betta for about 7 months now and I don't wanna harm him.

I was originally going to get a betta, but people were telling me you need a heater. I had a betta a couple years ago and he just lived in a bowl without a heater and he lived for 2 years! I still have his bowl and was hoping to get another fish to fill it with. Should I get another betta or get a different fish? If so, what kind?

I have $20 to spend on a betta fish. I already have the bowl, but is this enough to buy everything else? (food, water, decorations, pebbles etc.) If not, how much more do I need?

My fish has white spot. I have given him some treatment that I found in a petshop, but it was a week after I first noticed it. I was just wondering if there is anything else that I could do, or what the chances of him survivng are.

For my daughters 4th birthday she wanted some goldfish so i got 2 and also a cheap little plastic bowl + accessories.
A couple of months later she saw a proper tank with a filter etc in one of the main petstores and she wanted it, we bought it, got it home, followed the instructions on settin it up and put the fish in. The filter was on the lowest setting and seemed to be sucking the fish towards it. Next morning one fish was dead, we went out & got 2 more fish and within 24hrs they were dead 2!
Can someone advise as Ive read the leaflets, followed instructions and even when i was younger my fish used to last longer than that!!!!
Pleeeease help, my 4yr old is absolutely devastated!

What can I do to help my betta fish start eating again? One problem's resolved, he use to lay on the bottom of the tank all the time and never swim around much so I cleaned out his tank and filled it with warmer water, and he's MUCH better, he swims around now and seems like he tries to eat when I feed him... when I feed him, he actually goes up to his food and bites it again, but then spits it out... I've tried flakes, dried worms and this other special food that's supposed to reduce stress and stuff... In my other question about him I got lots of great answers and I've helped him out and all, but the only problem is he won't eat... He always spits out the food, and now he's starting to just ignore it... Does anyone know what could be wrong?

i'm confused about this pleco's name because some site says its Ancistrus hoplogenys "WhiteSeam", and some say Ancistrus cf. hoplogenys.
also, where can i get this fish in Los Angeles (around pasadena)?

I LOVE them, they are so beautiful, but here's the thing, I live in NYC. I know they are pond fish, but I waaaaaaannt them, a few of them and I know they can grow to be very large, I've seen a few pet shops selling them but they are tiny, but I want to order some like 6-7 inch koi fish. Is this a good idea because I'm willing to buy a huge tank like 250 gallons or so, What size tank would you recommend , and if I do buy it it wont just be Koi, it would be a mixture of Calico Shubunkins and they grow to be just as big, some Fantail Goldfish, they get big too. Can u help me out?

Ok, I can not seem to get my little goldfish's tail to heal I have used Maracyn 2 for the 5 day treatment that is recommended along with 7 days of Melafix. I do 25% water changes every 2 days I use salt and stress coat and all my levels are perfect I even vacuum my gravel with my water changes every 2 days. Why does my 1 gold fish have tail rot (that has now turned into tail AND fin rot) while my 2 other fish are fine? And why won't her tail and her fin heal? not only is it not looking better.....I think it is looking worse...getting shorter. Yet she seems ok, meaning, eatting and actting normal. I have had such a hard time with this little fish that I feel soooo bad for her. I am at the point that I almost wish she would die....that would be so much easier then to watch her lose this battle slowly.

This is a new 10 gallon tank, just started 3 days ago. It has one 7 inch bubble wall, and a Topfin carbon filter system. The water has had the proper de-chlorinators added to it, and I have 9 fish, tetras and two catfish. I came home this evening to see foam going over the edge of the tank. Only when I remove the tank lid do they go away...any suggestions?

My goldfish is on the bottom right side of the tank on her side she hasn't moved from that place all day she is breathing normal but she just lays there is she dying? If so is there a safe way to put her to sleep. I can't stand it seeing her suffer like this.
