okay.. i have just recently set up a 29 gallon tank for small african cichlids, and i set my ph at about 8.2-8.4, and temp is 80 degrees and the fish store said that i could start out with about 4 babies (about 1-2inches cost 5 bucks each) and then come bak in a week and test my water to see if i could add more yet.

after i let my fish float in there bag and turned them loose, just for shts and giggles i tested the ph in there bag and it was the same as my tapp. 7.4.

will this change kill my fish?

also is 5 dollars each a good price for the 1-2 in assorted africans?

the store charges like 12 dollars for that size yellow labs.

At my local Petco, they are selling male beta fish for 4 dollars and male Crown-tail betafish for 7 dollars.
Are there any differences between these two besides their fins/tails?
They have a bunch of bowls of beta fish. Is there a way I can tell by looking at the fish which ones are healthier or which ones will live longer?
Is there any other information I can get just by looking at them through the bowls?

I had goldfish before but they died within 2 weeks because i really didn't know what i was doing well enough to keep them alive but now I've got 2 mollies and I've had them for about 2 months and theres this green and brown kinda slime goo on the glass is there a way to get rid of it with out totally emptying the tank and having to start it all over like i did when i was setting the tank up for the fish.

my usual cleaning so far has been siphoning every 2 weeks or so

Hi,
OKay, so This upcoming college year, I will be moving out and into a dorm. I am 20 years old (a transfer student), so I like to consider myself fairly competent when it comes to responsibilities. As a nice bit of home, I want to puchase a fish for my dorm why I don't know what kind. I REALLY wanted a dwarf puffer but they're too high maintainence considering power frequently goes out in Washington and could lead to the death of the poor thing. I want it to have a LOT of personality still (like the puffer fish is supposed to have).
Any advice?

I assumed its fin-rot. Changed water, added salt to increase electrolytes, I treated the tank with Jungle Fungus Eliminator...twice. I know there was fungus because I a platie in the same tank showed symptoms of fungus also and now the platie seems much better. (Community 7 gallon tank, two platies, three guppies, a snail and the betta) Actually the betta looks much better also, the residue on his top fin has reduced, and he seems much more active and happier. But the residue isn't going away completely. How long does it take for this to go away? Does the fin have to grow out healthy fin? Should I consider a quarantine tank and treatment with Tetracycline? Or should I wait and be more patient?

My wagtail platy seems to be covered with some white powder, but it isn't popped up like ich. I'm sure that it's not ich or fungus. It's skin is just white on one side. Started 2 days ago. Anything I should do?

My mom has a 50 gallon freshwater tank (bio balls filtration) and for the past year every fish (tetras, mollies, bala sharks, goldfish, swordtails and a variety of cichlids, to name a few) other than angel fish die within a few days of being in the tank - the longest they last are about 10 days. Tank was fine when she inherited it about 4 years ago but has had progressively more and more rapid fish casualties as time has gone on. I've tested chloramine, chlorine, ammonia, pH, nitrogen and nitrate levels and all test normal. Tank temperature is around 75 degrees - introduced live plants about 8 months ago - no improvement. Several partial water changes over several months - no improvement. But, two angel fish have survived for several months. Any idea what's going on and what I can do to stop the other fish from dying - and/or why the angel fish are fine?

I moved the pufferfish to another tank by himself since pufferfish are fin nippers. My Gourami is swimming around the tank leisurely like he usually does.

thanks to everyone who answered my questions with an appropriate answer,
im running out of questions but still curious about this : they have "blades" under their eyes... how can anything deal with this? (tank mates plus the net when it comes to cleaning)

Things ive learned:
-like live food
-weak against ich and medications reduce amount of medicine needed by half.
-makes clicking sounds when they like something
-diet: brine shrimp, ripe bannanas, scalded lettuce, peas, blood worms, tubiflex worms
-adding heat to the tank reduces chance of diseases and reduces O2, (therefore i use a bubble stone)
-weak against dirty water (25% of water should be changed every week)
-sharp objects should be removed

some stuff that i learned
if theyres anything else missing please tell me! (and answer my question xD)

thanks!

I have had just about every bird imaginable in my coi pond. At first I enjoyed having them around until I noticed they were eating my fish. I had several hundred fish to begin with now I am down to less than 100. I even have a crane that stops by and I don't even live around a lake/pond! I have tried the fake owls and snakes, they don't work. I'm looking for a way to keep them out of my pond, with harming them!
