Fish - January 2007

i bought 6 goldfishs. When i bought them they were only 1 inch, its been now 6 months, some of them grow upto 2 inch, but some still in same size. I heard that goldfish grow very fast but mind din't what could be the reason? I just want to see them BIG....! How long it takes them to grow to their full size?

I have a 2.5 gallon tank with 3 feeder guppies that I keep as pets and two small comet goldfish. I've heard that goldfish need at least 20 gallons for each one you have. They are small now and fit the tank but should I get rid of one or both of them? I'm already quite attached to one of them and the other one I dont particularly like *I think he is trying to eat the guppies* I'm thinking about getting rid of one so it wont be so crowded when all the fish get bigger but then I think, wont it get lonely? I need advise. Get rid of one or both?

A while ago, a guy in a fish store was telling me about a special freshwater aquarium gravel that eats bacteria like feces and regurgitated fish parts (which I always find hidden after my catfish barfs up half eaten feeders which causes fungus I just got done curing) and actively promotes a sanitary aquarium. Has anyone ever heard of such a gravel, or can suggest any brands that can do this type of thing?...Cosmetics are not an issue, optimal aquarium health is top priority.

Well today i really learned that goldfish really are the dirtyest fish.
I have had my Goldfish for 3 weeks now. I have changed 30% of the water everyweek and added all the differnet chemicals. All the poo is still on the bottom of the tank and im wondering how everyone else is cleaning this?
Also how often should i get new rocks for my tank?

ok i have a few questions...mostly concerning freshwater community planted aquariums....


1.} how many watts does an 18" fluerescent tubve have?

2.}how many watts should i have on my 29 gallon tank?
-would the 18" tube and a 13w compact fluerescent be good for a planted aquarium with hardy to meadium hardy plants that are medium to low light?

3.}I have 4 guppies, 5 Glolite tetras, 1 snail, 2 shrimp, 1 African dwarf frog and i plan on getting probably 2 Otos....whats a fish that would look pretty going through driftwood and plants and rocks?
-would angelfish not be compatible with the guppies or any of my other fish?


thankx

Over the past few days, one of my betta fish has seemed kind of lethargic and not eating or swimming around much (this one is the more "energetic" of the two). Yesterday I noticed it sitting at the bottom of the tank, and didn't come up when I put food in. Today, it is in the same positioning, and is turning a brownish color. It had been bright pink before. Should I go ahead and flush it? or is there a way to make it healthy again?
