Some pipes froze and the heat was knocked out a few days ago and my fish stopped swimming around. I took him to the only room in house that had a heater in the wall in the hopes he would survive. He only started swimming around today. When he's not moving he hangs in the bowl kind of like this: "/" he doesn't seam to busing his tail. Will I lose him? IS there anything I can do to help him?

I am trying to find info on companies who sell large scale aquarium displays for retail stores. I've found one called Casco, but thats pretty much it. I think this is one of those cases where I just dont know how to look for what I want. If it helps, anytime you've ever been in a PetSmart or PetCo and looked at their fish tanks, someone built that system for them. I need to find those companies. Anything will help, this search doesnt look like it will end well! Thanks!

I've had him about two months...I have him in a gallon bowl... When I first got him he swam around and when I fed him he would swim to the food calmly and eat. NOW... He sits at the top edges of the bowl..rarely swimming..and when i put food in the bowl he does a race around the bowl ...knocks the food to the bottom....I have no idea if he is eating... Anybody have ideas of what might be wrong with him and how to aid him?? I have already tried 7 days of Betta Fix Remedy.

55 gallon aquarium and a friend gave me a handful of guppies. I didnt have any predatory fish so to speak and in 3 months Ive got hundreds of guppies! I dont want to flush them, What can I get for fish that will help me balance my tank out again? The few fish I had are all gone now and all I have is a plycostomus and all these gups!

I just bought a new filter and it has the new "bio-fiber" stuff on it. When I read the package for it, it said that it removes dissolved waste and nitrite. But don't fish need nitrite to grow? I want my fish to grow. I have 4 aquariums each with only common goldfish, 2 10-gallons, 2 20-gallons. 10 gallons with 2 and 20 with 3 fish. I want my fish to grow, but I also want an efficient filter. What can I do?

We have a Molly that is having babies and releasing them slowly, we have creek rock in the bottom so they can hide easily, but I got a net and fished the ones I could find out and seperated them so they wouldn't get eaten by any of the other fish..


What do I do from here with them...?

When I run over to check on him he jumps up again. He's eating the same and nothing else has really changed.

I know that bubbles are created for eggs, but i'm not mating her. I clean her tank all the time, but it is getting cloudy in just a couple of days. I am NOT over feeding...i have even cut back on food. Could she be under stress or sick? Please, real answers only.

I was wondering how long I should wait between Molly fry being born and releasing them into the main tank with the parents. I've searched Google and I've come across several different websites. Some say wait until the fry reaches one inch. Others say I should wait a month. Then some say it takes a month for them to reach one inch. I have one fry that I've had for a little more than a month and I'd place it to be about half an inch at the most.

So, a few questions:

1. What is the average growth in Molly fry within a month's time?
2. When would be the right time to place the fry in the main tank?
3. Is there any way I can stimulate growth in the fry aswell as fry production from the female?
4. What would be some of the ways you can tell a female Molly is pregnant? She's only slightly fat to the point where she could either be in the early pregnancy, or she just eats too much. So is there any other way to tell?

Thank you in advance.

The lady at the pet store told me my baby convict was a female because of the orange on her sides. Will this color ever go away? It is very consuming on her back side. She is a white "painted" pink convict cichlid. Will she ever turn solid white with the pink head and gills or will she always show orange?

I found a great deal.

There is a guy selling a 40 gallon aquarium, only a couple years old, with the oak cabinet, for only $100!! Everything is included, including the fish! Gravel, homes, plants, filter, thermometer and heater, etc. We have made a point to purchase it from him (found it in a local classified ad magazine online) on Friday. He says he is selling because he has to move and he has to be out by the 27th.

This is a great deal, right?? He has fish in it right now so there are no leaks. He said we may have to buy a new filter, tho ($20). I already have a 10 gallon aquarium with a rainbow shark, platy, otto, and a dwarf gourami. He said he has mollies and guppies and neons mostly.

Is there anything that I shoudl be wary of when buying it? How should I go with the transfer of my fish into the big tank with his fish? Should my tank be transferred into a "hospital tank"?

Please give me any feedback you have, it's very welcome!! =)

They will eat rosie reds and small gold fish, they will not eat hot dogs flake food red meat these have already been suggested and tried. They are now 4 to 5 inches long and doing well, but I can't keep enough rosie reds and small gold fish in there, Larger than a inch and a half rosie reds or gold fish they just kill, and causes a constant watch to clean uneaten foods out for fear of bacteria.
