Fish - April 2007

breeding betta fish in a tank and let them kill each other off until only 1 remains. It is their nature to fight so let them be what they are. Who am I to say that they shouldn't fight?

I just vacuumed the gravel and did a 20% water change with tap water treated with Wardley Super Chlor. I added 4 capfuls (as directed for my tank size) of Nutrafin Cycle. It's my 1st water change and I'm really antsy. Will the vac stress out my fish? I've heard some people just run a hose from the sink to the tank and fill it that way. Don't I need to treat for chlorine before the water gets in with the fish? I used a gallon jug to transport treated water to the tank. Please pray for my fish!

some of my plants i bought from a store were a little riped would they regrow there leaves? my guess was that a fish had nibbled on it? do i cut the plant steam below the leaf so it can regrow? or would it regenerate naturally ?

I have a couple goldfish, both are two years old. They've been in an old ten gallon tank since I brought them home. (I've never owned goldfish before, so I had noooo idea how fast they grow.) They were tiny, tiny things when I got them, but now they're getting...eh...big. One is about five and a half inches long, the other closer to six and a half. They're both male. I'm crazy about keeping the water healthy for them, so they're both doing pretty well, I guess, despite the tiny living space -- they've never been sick. But I know that it won't be that way forever. They definitely need more room. Problem is, there are a LOT of tanks out there. All sorts of shapes and sizes. What should I be looking for in terms of wide vs. tall, number of gallons, etc.? I want the tank to be big enough so I don't have to upgrade for a good number of years. Maybe enough to introduce a third fish, too. I've got a Sol and a Sirius, maybe there should be a Luna, haha.

I have had fish before and they never ate and spit out their food before, only if the food was a little big.
but my betta even with tiny grains he eats them and then spits out particles of them

I have already treated my tank with mela-fix to take care of the fin rot some of the fish seem to have in my tank.

I am pretty sure that the fish do have velvet, so I am wondering if i am able to treat with Ich x and melafix all at once.

I have already done a water change today.

I'll be amazed if you can tell me under what conditions they breed. I think I have an idea, but I'm not sure.

Hello,

I have a 29 gallon tank that is currently inhabited by

1? snail
1 plecostamus
4 whitecloud minnow
2 corydorus
1 neon tetra
5 Rummy nosed Tetra
2 Hatchet Fish
2 Endlers Livebearers

In the past week, I have had 5 penguin Tetra's, 3 Neons and 1 endler die.

On the last Penguin, and the endler there was a little bit of white fuzz on the side of the fish. The colour of the fish almost had a metallic greenish cast.

Water conditions are good, I have an Eclipse filtration system, and live plants. My tank does have a little cyanobacterial growth. I have added salt and reduced the temperature. Is there anything else that I should do?

I am afraid to medicate in case I have made an incorrect diagnosis.

Okay..so my friend and i are in charge of the class pet, sea monkeys. so that means, i am in charge because she hasn't done a single thing so far. she did not do the research. she did not help me pay for them. she didn't even stay to watch them hatch! her twin sister did. We are sopposed to feed them 5 days after they were hatched and that is Friday. I am gone on friday to leave for Chicago [Band Trip!!] and i put one of my other friends in charge of feeding it. Of course, she told my partner and she is mad at me. again. I am worried if she over feeds it because she is mad at me and she over feeds her betta. she thinks that "my fish is a fatty, i have to feed it 4 pellets a day" the packet only says to feed it 2. What should i do? feed them on thursday? Get someone else to do it? HELP!

My fish died overnight, but my 3 corals, starfish, crabs and snails are still alive. My nitrates were high so I've done 3 water changes (20%) in about a weeks time. The fish weren't stressed and looked like they died while swimming. please help

I have an african dwarf frog that I got yesterday. It lives in a 2.5 mini bow with a filter and a heater. It hides in a decoration all the time and dosen't come out. Will it come out when it gets used to it's new home or will it always stay hidden?

Please tell me which ones can and cannot. My local pet shops don't sound very confident with their info. I'd hate to kill the fish on the reason that the professional in the aquatics departments really had no clue.

I've been asking and reading other's questions about ich yet I am very frustrated. I've read it is easy to treat but my fish keep dying. Yes I am sure it is ich. Here's where I'm at right now:

After more reading yesterday, I decided to turn off the lights because Quick Cure has malachite green in it and I read that it is light sensitive (although it didn't say anything on the bottle). I did a water change of about 20-25% and vaccuumed the gravel to get up some of the encysted ich. I added the Quick Cure to my tank at the dosage on the bottle. I turned the heater up more. It was reading about 85 degrees on my external sticky-type thermometer. My heater dial was turned up to 89 (as high as it goes). I added an air stone to compensate for the raised temp and the meds. I determined to leave the tank alone and strictly follow the full course of treatment. This morning my male guppy, who's shown the least ich externally, is laying in the gravel barely breathing.

Help??
