Fish - January 2007

I had a male and female betta together for weeks. They were getting along so well that I was actually surprised. I checked on them 2 or 3 times a day. Last night I noticed that she has just beat the crap out of him. His tail is almost gone and so is his top fin. He was a beautiful Crown Tail. I separated them immediately. Now, will his beautiful tail and fins grow back? It doesn't seem to bother him. He is happily swimming around and eats without a problem, but he looks awful. Please help!!

They were in the same tank until the Oscar died, and although my plecostomus isn't showing any signs of being sick I'm not sure if he's okay.

I hatched brine shrimp eggs and i put them in a plastic fish bowl. I feed them yeast but that makes the bowl dirty, but I heard spirulina powder feeds them and doesn't dirty the bowl. And right now I had put yeast in the bowl and its a little dirty, and how can I clean the bowl without hurting the shrimp? And where can I find spirulina powder?

I got my black and silver striped angelfish when he was a baby 2 years ago. He's been in a 10 gallon tank (by himself, no other fish) and got to be about 4 inches diameter. Since this fish can grow a bit bigger, is it too late for him to get any bigger if I transfer him to a 30 gallon tank I just got for xmas?? Also, what would happen if I added a few other fish? What breed or variety would work best with the angelfish, if any?

I have the Emperor 400 on a 55 Gal tank.
It is very loud and doesn't push any water through. I've taken it apart and rinsed all the major components, does same thing.
What could be wrong?

i'm planning on buying a ryukin goldfish. But i'm not sure what size tank/bowl i should buy for it. Also i would like to know how often i would need to clean the bowl/change the water. Also would i have to get a pump (one of thoses things that pump air into the tank), i'm going to keep it in my room, and that would be too noisy, are there any alternatives? Thanks

She had about 40 fry the first time and this is her second time. She still has the black spot and she still has a round belly. She gave maybe half of them and she's still got more. Is it okay to put her back with the rest of the fish? Will the rest be born later?

I have two mollies and ones orange.. the other is black and white... they live in a little 5 gallon on my desk.. i had 3 but one died. I don't know if i am overfeeding them. I give them 2 large servings of Wardley Tropical Flakes which might be too much but i was just wondering if maybe i shouldn't feed them that much and their cage gets dirty really fast which may have something to do with it... please help... thank you much appreciated!

I just had my second birthing of swordtails in my tank. The first time I counted 22. All were lost to predation. I got a nursery now and caught all I saw. ( 9 ) I want to know how old the fry need to be before I release them into the tank. I don't want them to be an appetizer for the others.
