When we first put them in they were very aggressive to each other (through) the glass. I thought the red one was going to have a heart attack! So I cut a peice of a plastic folder and slid it infront of the glass so they could not see each other. Everyone seemed fine but the past 2 days the one with the plastic on his side has not been eating. He attacks the food but then spits it out. I found several pellets on the bottom. So I am wondering if it is from the plastic. If I take it out will they eventually calm down even though they can see each other?

i have some cured live rock according to the salesman who sold it to me. i noticed some little mushroom like things on one piece and some pink stuff growing on another. So pretty much on each pice there are a multitude of colors. Is this coral growing or just algea? will live rock form corals or wil i have to buy coral to put on the live rock?

I started keeping fish when I was 13 having got myself a part time job at the Local Aquarium shop, since then I've kept fish over the last 30 odd years, I currently work nights and get bored once in awhile and found this site, and thought I'd add too it amazingly enough I answer more questions in Fish section as I think I have something to add (or did).
It would seem that some ppl are under the impression I've done something wrong, as those ppl obviously know more on the subject than myself I'll leave it up to you, I can find other things to do with my time.

Cioa mamamia, one assumes your one of those multi account holders you bleated on about.

For those that have spoken to me I'll remain on my one and only Yahoo, email the same one I've had from the start of Yahoo..

the new light i have is for my live rock tank it has the light that is really bright and the other is more like a black light. there are no corals in the tank yet just 3 damsels and some live rock. i want to eventually pull the damsels out and get some less agressive prettier fish and corals. the damsels are just there to get the good bacteria up since it is a new tank. so the real question is when do i set my timers for which light to be on?

I have a ten gallon with females and a thirty gallon with males and fry. A couple of days ago, one of my young females swelled, and her gravid spot swelled with blood. About a day later, she pineconed and got progressively worse. (Dropsy?) I flushed her. Yesterday, I lost a female with a red growth on the very top edge of her gill. I've seen the red growth before, but it hasn't ever killed any of my fish. I looked at the 10 gallon today, and now most of my females have that red, short, fungus-textured growth sticking out of the top edge of their gills. I thought it was some sort of parasite, but I can't seem to find anything about it. One of my females had it a month or so ago, and a salt bath had the growth gone by the next day.

In my 30g, a male swelled and laid close to the gravel. His symptoms matched constipation, but deteriorated fast. Then another male swelled, except he hung towards the bottom. He died too. I now have one male who swelled up, but was instead stuck at the top

I have 4 Zebra Danios, 1 Tiger Barb, and A chinese algae eater. They're in a 10 gallon tank and are fairly small and have not had any problems with them. What would go well with these fish? I'm looking to upgrade to a 20 gallon tank very soon.

I have 2 Gourami and one of them has EATEN the others tailfin! I have just had them for 5 days and whenever i feed them with pellets they dont eat them and they just drop to the bottom. One of them has been really agressive with the other stopping it eating etc. I have removed and disposed of the other fish as it was very surely going to die when i was out today. I have subsequently switched to flakes however there has been no change as yet (this has just happend this morning though)
My water checks (Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, PH) are all fine.

So I think that I have a bit too many fish for my ten gallon. Here's the list:
4 Neons
2 Red Skirt Tetras
2 Black Skirt Tetras
2 Zebra Danios
2 Dwarf Gouramis
2 Guppies
1 Leopard Pleco

So yes, its a bit over stocked.....

My question: Is it okay to do a 25% water change w/ gravel vaccum more often than one a month? I thnk this should be okay, and it will keep the ammonia and nitrate levels in check with the ammount of fish. I was thinking maybe twice a month...
