Hi, I just bought a Tetra Care 29 aquarium. It is actually a 25 gallon. But it is tall. 17.5" to the bottom of the top frame. And I was wanting to put Endler's (live bearer) in it. Is it too deep for them? What other fish would suit this aquarium better?

He is so beautiful and he has the cutest way of munching on his food when he eats. I love him to death and now he won't eat. PLEASE help. I feed him hikari betta bio gold which is supposedly great. He ate it for the past 4 months and now he suddenly won't touch it. I clean his tank only about once a month, but he didn't seem bothered by the dirt. I don't think he's sick either. He's perfectly happy, he just won't eat. What is wrong? Somebody please help; I am sooooooooooo desparate!!!

Ok, to start, I have a 50 gallon tank, and I set it up Saturday. My ph is way off the charts high right now. I know I need to get the "good bacteria" started, so I need suggestions on how to begin that.

Someone told me a good start would be to throw some hardy fish in there, like maybe a bunch of guppies. Would that work out? I wouldn't mind using guppies as "test subjects" since they're cheap. Are there any other hardy cheap fish that could work, besides goldfish?

Are there any other ideas that you've used or know work to ready a tank for fish?

Is there a specific temp I should keep it at in order to begin the bacteria? I believe it's 78 right now, or so.

Will the ph equal out once I get the bacteria starting to build up?

I know this is a lot of questions, but my betta and I appriciate and thank you in advance for your help. He's eagerly watching and waiting to check out his big new home!
:o)

Last night ,I noticed my fantail gold , having fungus on it's head. I placed the fish in a isolation tank and dropped in a few drops of anti fungal liquid. This morning , i found it floating .

all my fish in my pond have suddenly died over night.There is a slight foam on top of the water and a sweet smell.I have tested the water for ph,no2,no3,kh and gh.The tests showed the water is in good condition,so why have they died.Have they been poisoned ?

Thanks to everyone with your help on my prev. question.I had a bit of a problem when I over cleaned my 25 gallon freshwater tank and threw my levels off by removing good bacteria from the system, I knew I made a mistake when two days after the clean my water was cloudier than ever.I then tested my water and it was slightly high in amonia levels and a little high on the pH scale. I added some salt to the water per an experienced person at the pet stores suggestion and it neutralized my levels.Also, my fish are no longer hanging out toward the surface of the water, everything is back to normal but my water is still pretty cloudy.I first read that I should do water changes every few days until it clears and then was told that I do not want to do more water changes until the good bacteria can build back up,which seems to make sense. What do u guys think?Thanks in advance for any advice,I really appreciate everyone sharing their "wealths of knowledge" w/this relatively novice fish-keeper.

What is a bulldog discus?
Are they more special than the normal discus? What color do they come in? Are they rare to find?. ect. ect. Any information about them would be great.
We just added one to the tank. He looks very cute. ^_^

i am planting out a 110 gallon soft water aquarium that has been established for 8 years or so and the substarte is exhausted. i have co2 injection and feed liquid ferts. But i would like to boost the substrate and was wondering if the king ofpsikes found in garden centers for potted plants would do the job?

He seems to be eating things on the rocks, but I don't see anything. He's so beautiful, I don't want him to starve to death.

Is it true that bettas are happier in small spaces like vases or little bowls? I was thinking about getting my girlfriend one. I don't care much about what the aesthetics, like how pretty the bowl will look, I just want to provide it with the best possible home and a vase doesn't seem like a good place for it. What would be the BEST setup?
