Fish - March 2007

Hello... I finally have 3 nickel size angelfish that survived and are now in the 120 gallon tank. Then this morning I looked at my black angelfish and noticed a thin white film on large portions of his body. He is still swimming fine and has a healthy appetite. The other angels and other fish in the tank do not seem to have this film on them that I can tell.

Anyone know if it is a type of fungus or something else and how can I make it go away??

I'll check back in about 15 minutes to see if I need to add any details to help diagnos what is wrong with him.
Thank you in advance.

ok so my fish have ick/ich.
ive given them 4 treatments now (its called fish saver)
and its meant to cure ick/ich!
problem is i dont see a change!
i havent turned my filter off while ive been treating the fish.
i have a fluval 3 filter, and i took the black sponge out!
people keep telling me that i need to take the filter media out otherwise the treatment isnt goin to work.
what is the filter media?
do i have to take the two white sponges out aswell?
should i just turn the filter off full stop untill ive finished treating my fish?

Hi! I have high ph levels (right about 8) and I have a community 55 gallon tank, with gouramis, plattys, zebra danios, a red-tailed shark, pleco, and a cory cat, so far.

I need to know what other kinds of fish would be good in this tank with the ph so high. I'd like to have some other (obvious) kinds like sword tails, neons, tetras, angels, loaches, catfish like fish, sharks, etc. I don't want anything huge, but I do want colorful or odd shaped. (And don't say hatchet-fish - they're jumpers! lol) I was looking at a bala shark, I know they get big, but would they eat my zebras? Would a few female bettas live okay in a comminity tank, with moderate current, or do the females prefer the still water too? My male hated it in there...

I guess my real question is, What kinds of fish WOULD NOT survive in the ph so high??? What kinds of fish are considered "Delicate" other than a discus? As far as I know everything else tested ok.

Thank you in advanced for your answers and your help.

Do fish do their thing at specific times of the year, or all year round?

So I live in South FL and have 2 tanks (a 10gallon and a 65gallon) very happy and well set up. But I had never thought about how to protect them in case of a hurricane. When a hurricane threatens, I usually go up north with my cat and my bird, but what do I do with the fishies? Also, the power goes out in my area, every time a hurricane comes, so the filter wouldn't be working for at least two days until I can come back and connect it to a generator. Any ideas, I'm kinda clueless here. Thanks

My fish got stuck under the filter intake when I was changing his water. He now has a cut that bled some. Should I quarantine him from his tank mates and start antibiotics?

I bought a Up-side down Catfish at the petstore about 3 weeks about and it died about 20 minutes after i put it in the tank. I brought it back and they took a sample of my water to find out the number of nitrates is EXTREMELY high. They won't give me anyother Catfish untill it is back to normal. What can i do to fix this problem???
