Fish - May 2007

Will the snail in my tank crawl out of the tank to the outside of it or will it just stay on the inside of it.

I know they are crafty and will get out of the tank at any given chance.

I don't really want to have to use an undergravel system because the aquarium is already set up. Just doing frequent water changes now.

Can someone tell me if it is normal for a snail to grow in your tank without putting something in it to make them grow and if they are alright to keep them in there, I have only one now but was wondering if it will have anymore of them.

my water keeps getting cloudy. I think my husband is over feeding. How often do you think we should feed. Silver dollars are about 3" and we feed the flakes. Also, should I get another bottom feeder to help out?? Oh, I have a 30-40 gallon filter on the tank.

Fish: 11 just small tropicals eg: guppys, swordtails,3 " plec , and a pair of small kribs..
Ok tanks been up and running for around 8 weeks ive had no problem for the first 6 weeks, now bang super high Nitrite its around 5.0 - 6.0 ppm (mg/L)
ammonia is virtually 0
Nitrate between 0 - 5.0 ppm
PH 7.4

My tap water source has 0 Nitrite as expected and is treated with safe water before using to remove any chlorine or cholramines etc ...
As soon as the tanks full after the 50% water change the Nitrite shows off the scale again when tested ..
I dont over feed just enough to be consumed within a couple of minutes twice a day and the fish seem happy and nothing is gasping for air,no tight fins to body etc etc .
Tank has a few plastic plants rock formations a little slate and two small pot flowerpots, i've an additional air supply going into the tank as well as the large jewel filtration system as standard. HELP :(

I am building a new house and want to put a 100gallon tank in an already existing 72”x24”x15” hole/indent in the wall. I am looking for advice and tips in placing the tank.

I am green when it comes to aquariums, I have been reading about aquariums a lot recently and think I spotted some grey areas in the setup:

• The in-wall aquarium is in an indent, meaning that only one side will be exposed
• I would not like to have a bulky frame around it (the house is 300 years old – I am quite particular when it comes to styling) – Will just the top horizontal flap do?
• I do not have a cabinet for all the filters etc.. will they all fit in the 4” gap behind the top horizontal flap?
• Will cleaning it be a problem? The location does not have direct sunlight but it quite well lit.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have a pretty bad algae bloom. I've tried covering the tank up, keeping out the sun light and it's still bad. Any other ideas?

I have several goldfish different sizes and they get along pretty good, but yesterday when i came back home i found 2 of them (the smallest) with their tails and fins injured. One has it´tail bitten and shreded but it can swim up, down and forward, (kinda funny but ok). The other one worries me since it´s dorsal fin and tail are completly gone, only a small (hard) part of the tail close to the body is left. What worries me most is that when it´s static it floats with it´s head heading down, almost upside down. When it moves it can manage to stay straight and has to make a lot of effort to swim forward, but as soon as he stops moving it´s butt goes to the surface. It still eats, but hides in shallow parts of the tank (so does the other injured one) and has not changed it´s color. The injurie on the tail looks white. Please help me I really don´t want it to die since I really love that fish, it even lets me pet him. Thanks.

I currently have 2 small Angels, 3 tetras, a danio and a red tailed shark, it is a peaceful tank but needs a little more colour but I am worried about over populating.

i found this out the hard way i guess. my daughter won a goldfish at a festival we had last week. we already have a female beta so i just put the goldfish in with the beta. there are roots and stems in the water so they did get oxygen. i never seen them fight as to where i would have taken the goldfish right back out if i seen this. what happened? water conditions not right? needless to say, i flushed the goldfish and my daughter hasn't noticed.

mine's name is Goddard(after the artist) he has black scales with irresent blue tips. his top and tail fins are a lighter irridesnt blue with awsome black markings and the bottom fin is also blue with blood red color at the base. his eyes look like you cut them in half and made to top baby blue and the bottom orange.
