Fish - March 2007

Im looking to buy me a fish or 2, but the thing is i dont wanna spend money buying me a 30 or 40 dollar fish tank, do you think a fish bowl would work just as well, and if so how do i take care of the fish inside the fish bowl. Also id appreciate it if you gave me some nice fish to buy besides a goldfish. thank u

I am setting up a 5 Gallon fish tank and the girl at the pet store said that you had to wait 48 hours until you could put the fish into it. We arnt using tropical fish...and the instructions do not say that you need to wait this long. Anyone know how long it takes before you can put fish into the tank??

So some time ago I got a female betta, Luna, to accompany my male betta, Windigo. Of course they later spawned and now their eggs doing decently for now. From BettaTalk.com, I know that the fry eat microworms, but I haven't a clue upon where to get them! Where do you suggest I may be able to obtain fry food?

Help! I got 3 goldfish under questionable circumstances. I think I got old fish, within 3 months, 2 died. Now I have one fish left and I'm afraid he's lonely. I tried asking at Petsmart and they were trying to sell me new fish for my tank (I felt like the fact I still have one left was being ignored).

Any advise would be greatly appreciated

I got these fish:
2 neon tetras
3 glowlight tetras
3 guppies, 1 male 2 female
3 harlequin rasboras
2 algae eaters
2 sunset coral dwarf platy

I know I am overcrowding and I keep on telling my parents, but they won't listen! They won't let me get another tank and the only other tank we have is my brother's which he hasn't used yet and my parents won't let me use it either. It's have a 32 gallon.My parents won't let me sell or return the fish. They certainly won't let me kill them. I don't know what to do. Please help and only serious answers please! If you put practical answers I'm going to give you a low rating and report you as spam!

My goldfish has 3 greyish-black spots on one side and one spot on the other. They look like bruises, but I think they could be fungus. Could I isolate it and use a fungus medicine for it?

Is there a way to make my crayfish grow abnormaly large? Do not answer with raise the temprarure to make them grow faster, it also ages them faster if you do that. The reason i want it to get large is to pass the gene so the babies get abnormaly large when my girl cray mates a male.

Can anyone help me? My golfish has a badly swollen eye. It just started to swell today. It doesn't seem to be infected and there are no signs of disease or injury. The white membrane around the eye is visible and the eyeball itself is sitting around 1cm out from his head, instead of sitting flush with it.Does anyone know what it is?

I was thinking about getting a 15 gallon tropical Biorb tank for a single discus and a catfish because it comes with a heater and it has a built in filter.

I am about to start my first aquarium, and am wondering why several fish cannot fit into a small space. (As in 4 or 5 in a medium-sized tank) What happens if you do put that amount--what will happen to the fish?
Also, my friends have recommended me to buy a snail and get a hornwort plant... but how does the hornwort plant survive? What do you give it besides light and water? And does it need to stay submerged?
Thanks for all the help! I appreciate it!

I read a bunch of articles about tank cycling, etc. but then i went to PetSmart to see what kind of fish they had. I also asked what i needed to do before i got fish and the guy simply said to get some Top Fin water conditioner, put it in and run tank for 48 hours, then add fish. That was it. But i heard there needed to be some bacteria in the tank as well. Would the bacteria supplement work, or do i need to grow my own? (i read the articles and they confused me). Also, if I can use it, how long after i put it in can i get fish?

I would like to put a piece of wood in one of my fish tanks, with an Oscar in it. I am planning on getting the wood from my backyard, because I have heard of people doing it before and the outcome is beautiful. But, I also know how the wood will turn the water a gross murky brown and I am a clean water fanatic. I know that you can keep the wood from doing that, but I don’t know how. So… do any of you?
