Is their food too hard? My fish are tiny goldfish, and I am feeding them micro-pellets. But even with fish flakes they also tend to grab, chew, and spit the food out again. Sometimes they grab them, sometimes they just leave the food to float about. I don't overfeed. I've just noticed they always do this.

I have five tiny goldfish (i think they are goldfish but they are about 1.5cm long). The two biggest used to be the same size, but now, all the others have caught up with the smaller of the biggest fish, whereas the biggest fish just keeps getting bigger and fatter!!
S/He is about double the size of all the other fish. He also chases the other fish, and hogs the best hiding spots (under the bridge) and seems to be very greedy. Is it cause it is breeding time, or is it just being a bully??? how can you tell if it's a man or woman??
All teh fish seem to be very happy though, and it has not attacked them, just chases them out of his 'zone'.

Anyways any suggestions would be nice.

i had to move my tiny (maybe the size of a quater or a little bigger )black moor out of its tank the other fish were nipping at what was left of his tail due to my husband being an idiot and putting a cichlid in the tank with it for a few mins til the water conditner in its tank had time to work and it took a bit out of his tail hes not sick just injured i have no extra tanks at this moment and wont be able to get one til friday or saturday the earliest i was wondering if he would be ok in a bowl or pitcher if i do water changes everyday and do i need to at least give him an air stone
and since hes that small would it be ok til he gets better to put in a 2.5 gallon mini bowl walmart has the whole kit with filter for cheaper then what i can get a 10 gallon for and then i would have to get a hood, filter that wont come with the 10g that our stores have i dont mind doing water changes every few days in the smaller tank right now thanks and will the tail grow back fully

i have 4 tiger oscars in a 55 gallon tank right now, about 3.5" - 5". i know that it is to small, but how long till you think they will pair off for mateing? once they do pair off, i'm only going to keep 2 in the tank and sell the other to the petstore. do u think that a pair of oscars can live in a 55 gallon tank? petsmart said that they needed 30+ gallon for one, and 20+ for everyone after the first one (for the adult size of 12 inches.) need info on mateing

I heard of bettas - when you INTRODUCE them to another (female) betta, (if they are interested in each other) he'll ... "swim" and "dance" to show that he's worthy to be her mate (I think). But is it possible that a male betta can do this before actually seeing the potential female mate? : O If so please tell me, because I want to know. I'm curious as to whether this is what my betta is doing or if he's just being ... himself. haha

I think he's just being himself (goofy betta <-likes to swim around the side of the tank as if I cared he were there! :P ) ....

and I'm not sure.... but... maybe it's just from the filter, but, is it possible that the male betta's can create a "nest" thingy before meeting the female (like I said earlier)???? ....


I'm seeing things. If not. Please tell me otherwise.

I'm trying a new formula for co2 production tonight. Does anybody think this is any good, or a waste of time? Do you have a favorite co2 production formula?

2 Packets Jello (the sugared kind)
1 & 1/2 cups sugar.
Some children's gummy b vitamins.

I'll make that into jello inside 2 litre bottles. After it solidifies, I'll add 1/2 teaspoon of yeast, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar (to get things started), and fill it up with lukewarm water.

Does this seem like a worthwhile formula to try?

I have 2 columbians along with 4 other species of sharks in a 125 gallon tank. They seem to be doing fine with plain old aquarium salt. Should I switch to brackish or not? I have bala's, rainbow's, ghost knife, red tips and black tips.

I know that a wet/dry filter would be best if you want a forest in your tank; I just want a few plants yet I'd like them to last so which power filter is best?

There are several little white dots on the glass of the tank which, when you look closely are perfect spirals. What is this and how do I get rid of it?

Also, my clownfish is not eating. My other fish is eating, as is my shrimp. All water tests are good, and he looks to be in good health otherwise, and has been acting and swimming normally. Does anyone know why he may not be eating? I am feeding him his favorite food, and it still doesn't work.

I was wondering if it was a better idea to use old carbon in a top fin 60 power filter instead of putting new carbon in. Won't old carbon already have good bacteria on it?
