Fish - January 2007

Ok. So my fish doesnt have ich. Its a glass fish and he has these white things growing on his tail. We treated it with ich/ick medicind twice, and fungus medicine once. I also have this red platy who is turning orange. Or i have really bad eyes and he has dropsy. How can i tell? And can fish eat spinich? If so, how do i feed it to them? I also have about 36 or 35 fish, how should i feed them their obsessive amouts of food without it going everywhere? And would 5 aglae eaters be good enough for that amout of fish? Or is is too much?

I need to a find gravel cleaner for my aquarium that is fairly long. I would like it to be able to be hooked up to my hose or sink faucet for the water to be put in or taken out. I don't want one of those that you suck on to start the water flowing. Every time I look online all I find is battery-operated ones or the ones you suck on. Can someone help plz? I don't shop online much for anything except computer parts.

first of all, 99% of the time, i know what i'm doing with my fish tanks, so it's not novice problems.....

I have a 5 gallon acrillic tank, with light, filter, heater (Set to 70), whisper in tank filter, bubbler, with nice sized air stone, substrate and plants both made for fish tanks, installed correctly (rinsed very well), NO SOAP EVER USED i promise. I've treated the water with Tetra Aqua Safe, and API's Stress Coat, and i cycled my tank for almost a full month before i put in my single 4-6 month old goldfish. I have no evil undergravel filter, and did a 20% water change before i added my fish. I checked all of my water perameters and everything was fine (except the hard water - we have EXTREMELY hard water, but i'ts okay with the fish, he dosn't seem to care, and neither has any of my other goldfish..)

I just can't get the water to get uncloudy. I know that it can be bacterial boom, but fishie is healthy. i'm not over feeding, and I even used Crystal Cear. Any ideas?

do you think it would be ok for my Pineapple Swag Swordfish to have ocean and river rocks and some shells in its tank? it is a fresh water fish, and i cleaned the rocks and shells and soaked them for several days?

I have 3 swordtails in a ten gallon but in about a month they will be moved to a 20 gallon since they get to 4 inches
But my friend is having a problem because she didnt realize a goldfish needs a large tank, so is there any way I could instead keep the goldfish in the 20 and wait another 2 months to get another tank for my swordtails?

im not sure wich kind of cichlid it was, but i know it was african. i found him dead last night and it looks like there are little indentations around his head. ive had lateral line disease before and it is definantly not that. it looks like it could be scales pulled from the roots, but im leaning away from this. it didnt look bloated, and it was slightly chubby(as are all my cichlids) and ive had it for 3 months. it was in a tank with 13 other cichlids and 4 catfish and 4 plecos

I am planning on buying a used aquariums - dimensions are, 4 FT long, 1 FT deep, 16 Inches tall. How big is this tank? The guy labels it at 55 gallons, but i'm almost positive it isn't. AND, he has a fluval 302 filter with it, is this an internal filter ( put inside the tank) or is it an external filter ( underneat or outside ) and is this the right size for this tank size, thanks.

My goldfish (plural-4 in total) have all lived in harmony with my 2 tetra and 2 bottom feeders for about 2 years now. Yesterday I found one of them acting strangely, floating on his side, then swimming backwards, bumping into the side of the tank, etc. He died about an hour later. I assumed it was just his time. These are 2 year old feeder goldfish. Then later that evening another started doing it. It died this morning. And now yet another is starting. I have taken it from the tank to hopefully protect the other, but that one is being "fishy". The other fish in the tank are acting fine. The water was not changed recently (about 3 weeks ago) but is clean with new filter (changed it after second died). They have light and regular temputures, and food of course.
Is this mad fish disease?

I have a 55 gallon fish tank with gold fish in it. For some reason, one of my gold fish started to have black spots on it.Then as time went by, the entire fish was covered with black spots. It look as if black mold was growing on the fish.
