Fish - February 2007

We have had quite a few fry born recently and we have now isolated the older males and put them into a different tank. We have 2 older fry (and about 40 younger ones - but that's a different story) and they are around 4 weeks old. We think one's starting to look like a male, but are unsure. When will/should we be moving male fry into the male tank?

The gourami grows up to 2 '' and needs a minimum tank of 5 gal. Will a male dwarf gourami get along with a Chinese Algae Eater (8cm) in a 5.5 gallon tank?

I have a dalmation Molly that's been pregnant for a while now and she still hasnt given birth. She was in the tank by herself for a while because I lost the other Molly I had with her. I recently bought some new tank mates for her and she was doing alright with them. Yet she still hasnt given birth. Is she too stressed now? None of the other fish ever bothered her or chased her. Then I noticed today that she's been acting really weird.

Here are two videos of her:

my pond has all algae on the bottom and side rubber (for those of u who use rubber). it looks greenish and musty. how can I get rid of this? and for cleaner water, should I wait for it to get really low and then fill it? that way i could clean the algae (by spraying water) too i was thinking?

I have 9 neon tetra in an 80 litre aquarium. What do you suggest I add next? The tank has live plant and some rocks and it's been up and running for nearly 2 weeks.

I just wanted to make sure that this wasn't too much fish for this aquarium. If it is too much is there anything I can do besides take the fish out to help them cope? Thanks a bunch!!

My anniversery is coming up next month and my husband wants an aquarium with dragonfish (he's dead serious about it; he's been reading up on basic aquarium care), so I plan to surprise him with an aquarium, basic supplies, and a gift card for the fish he wants. The only problem is, I don't know what the best food for a dragonfish is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

So you guys helped me out alot, I really appericated that. Now, to answer some of your questions. I put the following in the tank last night: GOLDFISH BOWL CONDITIONER - Instantly removes chlorine and chloramines. Neutralizes toxic ammonia. Detoxiflies heavy metals. On the back on the bottle says to put approx. 1 capful (treats 2 U.S gallons)

Then I put in this also - STRESS COAT - fish and tap water conditioner. Replaces slime coat. Reduces electrolyte loss. Promotes tissue regeneration. Removes chlorine and neutralizes chloramines.

I hope this is the right thing to do. This is what the guy at the store told me to do. I need your help people!!

Hi, my eel died a couple of weeks ago, and it was very weird to me because one afternoon, just a couple hours after feeding it, I found it on the floor all dried up. There was other fish in the tank, but not as mean as him. The aquariams lid was closed! Do we have an detective here?
