We have a neon fish and we thought it was fat just from eating to much but it has been like that for about 4 or 5 months and we just found out that it is really preganate!!! About how long will it take until it has it`s ``baby fish``?

I live in Pennsylvania and the pond temperature will flucuate from a nice summer day to a bitterly cold winter. The pond does have a pump and fountain so the water is circulating. But the amount of algae is clogging the pump too often. Thanks for any and all advice.

I was sitting at the edge of our pond today and seen these almost clear, and tiny things swiming around. Do you have any idea of what they are????

And also, should they? What I mean is will the fish eat the Daphnia and get sick?

I want to clean my little (2") Goldfish's aquarium (16 gallons) of green water algae. Read that I can do this by introducing Dahnia into the tank. Will my Goldfish eat them? If so how can I protect the Daphnia long enough for them to do the job?

Thanks to you all.

I have not been able to get readings because the kit is not with me (my sis took it for her fish)

I just did a 50% water change. Any help?
I read here that it might be Ichthyophtirius?

I have had a goldfish, which lives in a bowl, for about 6 weeks. When I got the goldfish, the clerk at the pet store told me to take out 25% of the water each week, and replace it with clean water that has been treated with water conditioner. I have been doing this, and the water has stayed clear.

The problem is that there is a bunch of fish poop at the bottom of the bowl. It looks really gross.

I want to change all of the water in the bowl, but I am afraid that it will hurt the fish. The clerk at the pet store told me that the fish needs the bacteria in the water and I should not change all of the water at once. What do you think? Does anyone change all of the water regulary? Does it have any negative affects on the fish?

Our local marine shop is selling Sea Hare (green slugs) and I would love to get one or two but was told they need hair algae to eat. Is there anything else we can feed them or is this their main food source? (I never trust the pet store people for advice). We have a 55gal fish/live rock tank. Established 8 months with little algae except some coralline and green. Fish are: butterfly, coral beauty, clown w/anemone, two damsels.

I have a 2.5 gallon acrylic tank. I used QuickCure with malachite green and formalin to cure ich in my tank, but it stained the white rubber suction cup on my little heater. I'm wondering if MG will permanently stain acrylic aquariums. I don't know if I notice staining on the acrylic or not, but I just want some advice on it. Thanks.

what do i need in order to grow and keep freshwater plants in my tank? i have an empty 2.5 gallon tank and i was thinking about putting up plants in it before adding fish..

what soil is best to keep in the bottom of the tank? I'm assuming i plant them in the soil as opposed to keeping them in little pots right? what about the ph levels, water temp and lighting? my tank comes with a 12v flourescent lamp.

Also do i need a special filter or oxygen for the tank? I currently only have a filter that runs water through some plastic balls and some rocks and then cycles the water back into the tank...

I have no idea what i'm doing..

I was wondering how often I was suppost to fed my goldfishes. Cause some one told my husband every 2 days but that seems like a long time. And I heard that if u feed them too much they can die. Is that true? Thanks!

i have a 55 gal tank with 2 blood parrot cichlids, both about 7 inches, and a green terror thats about 3 inches. just within the past 24 hours, the bigger parrot has become very pale and is floating almsot lifelessy at the bottom of the tank. when one of the other fish comes close he will chase him away but thats all the movement he is making. also, it looks like he has a white stringy substance on his side and rear fins. they almost resemble spider webs. the other fish show no signs of anythign wrong. anybody have a clue what this might be?
