Please help me. I bought a male beta fish the other day. I set up his tank, conditioned the water, had it at the right temp. everything was prepared correctly. Then two days later the fish was dead as a doorknob. What kind of fish can I get that won't keel over anytime soon? I have a 1.5 gallon tank so I probably only need 1 or 2 small fish.

I added 3 new platties to my new fish tank about a week ago. Everything seemed to be fine up until yesterday. My yellow platty first starting hiding and only coming out when the light was off. Now it's laying on the bottom of the tank sucking on the rocks..? Also, my orange one is often floating on the top of the tank in the corner. I have no idea if this is normal or if it's a sickness. Someone help?
Thanks =)

To go along with my main question, can I use a tank divider for breeding? Where and what kind of plants can I use other than those four common plants? Where can I get brine shrimp hatchery and stuff about it? What is infusria and where do I get it?

The short story is...

My betta died sometime today, I've lost four zebra danios in the last week-and-a-half, and my red fire dwarf gourami is on his way to the big fish tank in the sky. I just performed an emergency water test and found chlorine, ammonia, and nitrites at zero and my nitrates are at about 5. My temp is at 79F (same temp it's been at since day one). Water changes about every 5-7 days, since it's an established tank (4+ months). I am hoping you can help me save my red dwarf gourami with your fish intelligence. Right now (and for the last few days) he has been quarantined in a little breeder net box on the inside of the tank. I came home today and thought he was dead because he was lying on his side on the bottom of the box. After poking the net near where he was lying with an eyedropper, he started moving a little bit but now he is down there again. It seems he has trouble staying afloat. He manages to swim to the top, but floats back down again. Additional details ...

OK, for my birthday, my friend gave me a beta fish. I'm young, and my friend didn't ask my parents if she could get me the fish. I didn't really want a fish. My cats are probably going to eat the fish, so he has to stay in my room, witch is a big pain. My mom says I should give my friend the fish, and ask her to get me a different present. What should I do?? BTW, we are going on a 2 week trip in acouple of days, and we don't have anyone to wacth the fish.

My goldfish has been lying on his back on the bottom of the tank for a few days now. I looked at him closer today and it sems like his fins are rotting. He can still kind of move, but very rarely and not for more than a few seconds. What's the fastest and most humane way to kill it?

My goldfish had a bad case of finrot that very quickly made its way to the base of the fish's fin. However, I put melafix in the water and treated with Maracin-TC. This was about 11 days ago, and the fish is still alive. However, it sits at the top a lot, as though that's its main source of air. (No, it isn't dead. :-P) (Also, I'm sure the tank is getting enough oxygen.) So, a few questions:

1) The fin hasn't repaired itself yet, but I hear it is common for them to remain split if the infection reaches the base. Is this okay and, if not, what should I do?

2) Is my fish still sick/moribund? Is there anything I can do to help it?

3) How should I go about reintroducing it to the tank?

Any help is very much appreciated! Thank you all for reading. :-)

Right now I have two 10 watt florecent bulbs in the hood. I notice that the water kind of spashes on them, and the inside of the hood gets very wet. Is this safe? Is it supposed to be that way?

I purchased a basic aquarium last week for my two new coldwater black moors. The tank is a FRF 440 with a pressurised filter box and 12v filter pump. I ran the filter on the tank for about 4 days before adding the fish. They have only been in there for about 4 days now, but the water seems to be going very cloudy very quickly. I did try and replace a little of the water as advised in the brochure, but am conscious of the chlorine values in tap water etc. What could be causing the clouding of the water so quickly, and what can I do to stop it happening?

I have not been feeding them more than once per day (and not loads at that), so dont think its to do with the food.

Any ideas would be welcome, before I trapse back to the shop for advice.
