I like to catch crawdads in the crick behind my house and I keep some of them as pets and i keep them in different cages because when you put them together they kill each other...and how do I tell male from female??

the black tubes at the top of my fish tank aren't blowing out any air? is this a major problem. i have a lot of coral and gravel, i just wonder if these tubes are the main source of oxygen for my tank? it's my dad's tank and he's out of town, is there an easy fix anyone can give me???

I have already used a grav vacuum and it doesn't really help. Even after a day there were flakes and poop all over the place. I have a filter going 24 hours a day, but its one of those carbon slotted ones.

Will suckerfish or some sort of snail (small) be able to help clean the house as it were?

What do you recommend?
Thanks!

Whenever I clean out my tank for my Betta, I put a good temperature water in there. Not to hot, not to cold. But after a while, the water getts really cold. i cannot change the location of the tank or add a lid. What should I do? Is there anything I can put in there to make the fish feel warm or maybe make the water a bit warmer? I heard or something called "Stress Coat" for fish. Has anybody used that before? Does it work?

I am transferring my fish from an existing 10 gallon tank to a long 20 gallon. I bought 2 danios yesterday and noticed that it appears one tends to nip the fins of a Platy. He also chases the other Danio, whose rear fins appear nipped. Finally, I also noticed that the antenne of my catfish were shorter this morning than last night. Is it likely that the Danio is responsible?

My plecto always ignores its food and leaves it for the tiger barbs to eat. Should I stop giving it the algae tablets since I don't want my tiger barbs to be overfed? Or should I try a different type of plecto food for it? If so what type of food should I try?

This is day 4 of my new tropical fish adventure. I put 5 fish in 2 days ago and I found one dead this evening. The water tests were ok. Maybe the nitrite level was a bit high but it was boarderline/ambiguous. I did a partial water exchange. I've followed all the instructions exactly. what could it be? I also noticed his tail was missing. Could he have been attacked by the other fish? (They are not nippy fish - all non aggressive) Or would the other fish have had a go after he died?

I have one red platy and some common goldfish in my aquarium. For a long time they all got along fine, but for the last couple of weeks I've noticed my red platy is harassing one of the goldfish -- only one. Same one every time. Now it happens several times a day and my goldfish seems to be afraid, hiding for most of the day behind an ornament in the tank. I want to move the platy, but the last time I isolated an aggressive fish (an upside down catfish) it died. I don't want my platy to die. The harassed goldfish does not have any tattered fins or anything like that, it is just being chased relentlessly. What should I do, and why has my platy singled this goldfish out?

My daughter has had this lion head goldfish for about a year. One week ago I noticed this pimple like growth coming out it's side. It is on the right, closer to the dorsal fin than the stomache, and closer to the tail than the head. It does appear to be getting bigger. The fish still eats and poops. If this fish is dying I need to find another for this will be traumatic for my daughter.

I have a large tank 72 inches by 18 inches by 24 inches. I have four severums a pleco and 2 juvenile Oscars about 3 inches. Recently two of my severums have laid eggs on a piece of slate. Will my other fish be OK when the eggs hatch and how long do I have before they hatch. Any advice would be welcome as I have never had spawning fish before.

Hi, I live in Mumbai, India. I have a male betta fish since July-August 2006. He has been doing pretty well. I only have an air pump in his tank along with some tank decorations like a castle,an artificial plant and a cave... No filter and no heater. I have always maintained his water at room temperature.
I had never seen his excreta until today. I'm concerned cos it was red in colour. Could it be because his fish food is red in colour?
Also, he remains at the top of the tank with his head towards the rim and his body slanting downwards. He swims and eats too but he looks awkward when he does the slanting thing.
Right now the temperature in Mumbai is High of 30degrees CELCIUS and low of 16degrees CELCIUS.
Please tell me whats wrong my pet and what I can do to help him?
Thank you and happy new year.

Can anyone give advice as to how to travel with a goldfish? we have had him for so long, and he has his own round bowl that he's always been in. We are rather fond of him, but don't know if there is a safe way to move him! I know it's a silly question, but I need to know! Thank you.
