THERE IS A HOLLOW TREASURE BOX AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK ABOUT 6.5 INCHES HIGH AND 4 INCHES WIDE. CAN I KEEP THE EEL IN THE BOX WITH OUT ANY EXTRA ATTENTION? ALSO HOW WOULD I FEED THE EEL AND WHAT DOES IT EAT?...WILL IT EAT THE OTHER FISHES?

I was told that as long as the water temperature doesn't vary too quickly that goldfish adapt well to most temps.
I've noticed today that our fish are pretty sluggish...the house got quite cold overnite.

Would a 20 galllon be big enough for 3 swordtails? Its all I can afford for now I will be getting a larger one but mayybe not until next year, depending on if i get a job or not. Also, would I be able to add any cories or shrimp in with them?

i have purchased 3 swordtails, 2 female 1 male, yesterday and one of the females seems to have given birth to about 2 fry.. that i saw, however i was unaware she was pregnant and now the fry are in my 36 gallon community tank o.O and not to be seen other than the rare occasion that they swim out.

what i was wondering is how i would go about caring for them in the community tank because there is almost no way for me to catch them (unless you suggest a way).. not even see them really

i know i may need a breeding nest of some sort but i was wondering if there is a chance for them to survive with out one?

2nd question: ive heard of many sword tail females giving brith and although im happy mine did give 2 im afraid they will give birth again, or even breed again, i love swordtails but i want my tank to stay a community tank and i cannot afford a second tank.. is there any ways to discourage breeding within the swordtails or anything to keep the amount of swordtails to around 3?

Current Situation: 1 Betta, 2.5 gallon tank, filtered, heated, stress coat used to dechlorinate the water.

Was in unheated fishbowl. Wasn't eating. Wasn't swimming. Bought the new tank w/ heater. Added a tetra in with him. Things were better. Was eating and active. Things were ok. Recently he has been chansing the tetra all the time. Noticed betta's fins looked different. Were "drying out." Looked shorter. Part was missing. Tetra was not attacking the betta.

Seperated them. Now the betta has the tank, heater, filter, etc.

Will his fins get better? What else could I do?

The pics in the links show him now:

In this pic, you can see the tail fins are small.

In this pic, you can see him flaring. The dorsal fin is missing some of the pieces.

I've had a 20 gal. freshwater aquarium for about 6 months now. Recently almost all of the fish died and I'm not sure what's wrong with the tank. I tested the water and it seems to fine in terms of Gh, Kh, PH, nitrites and nitrates. The filter is working properly (I think, although I'm not sure how often I should be replacing the sponge pad or the carbon filter). I've noticed that there is a film, kind of like oil without the rainbow, on the top of the water. Anyone know what this might be? I change the water (about 20%) every couple of weeks. There also seems to be quite a buildup of algae on the fake rock things that I put in there. Is that bad? I bought an algae eater fish but it died before a week or so. If I need to get rid of the algae, what is the best way to do it? Just scrub it off with a brush? It seems like it would stay floating in the water unless I changed almost all of the water out, and I don't think that is good for an established tank either, please help, frustrated!

I know they are expensive to set up and I wanted to get others answers as to the approximate cost of setting up a 30. I have had years of experience with fresh to include breeding. This question is without any fish or stand.
