I know that goldfish are the norm for kids but my son does not even look twice at them and says he wants a 'Ghost Shrimp' and several other varieties.
I don't know what fish are good for kids to look after and what types of fish that don't go good together? I already know that Beta's cannot be with other fish and don't plan on letting my son have one of those yet.

(My son wants a aquarium and not a bowl)

My kids were each given a small aquarium. It seems everything is included. Everything, that is, except instructions on how to set it up. I went to the pet store today to buy one betta for each tank and the kid at the pet store told me that I needed to set the tank up and let the water sit for a week before adding the fish.
I figured the answer on how to do this would be easy to find on the internet. It isn't. I need very simplistic instructions on how to set up a tiny tank for betta fish.
Thanks in advance.

i have two clownfish that are young, and one of them, the smaller one, is swimming funny here lately.
im new to saltwater, so this may be normal and i just dont know it.

for about the last two nights when i came home from work one of my clowns is swimming upsidedown. he can swim fine for a minute, but then goes back to upside down. what is rong with him? if its a swim bladder infection should i just take him out of the tank and euthanize him? or let him die? or is there a cure?


thanks a lot

one of my clownfish sleeps upside down behind my heater, the other just on the sand behind some live rock, my cichlids all sleep laying on the gravel, and my betta floating behind its filter.
or do fish even sleep?

this is just how i find them when i come home from work in the night, because i work late hours and have my lights on timers. and this is how they are when lights first cut on in the mornings.

I have a female glass shrimp that has really dark eggs under her tail. And I want to raise them and I am short a aquarium. I placed some rocks and a plastic plant inside a old coffee maker glass container, with a air pump. Will this work?

i currently have a new 90 gal freshwater tank which has 2 power filters. one filter is brand new, and the other has been running in an established tank for years. i just had an ammonia spike, but was wondering if cleaning out the "older" filter will help or just worsen it by removing bacteria?

I came home with 3 creamsicle mollies and put them with 5 neon tetras and a small pleco... Now there are 4 additional little creamsicles :)

Will the other creamsicle mollies try to eat them? I think the tetras are too small to even try. Do I need to put them is some sort of isolation tank? If so, what do I need to do to make the isolotion tank a good environment for them? What do I feed them? What else do I need to know?

I was just given a fish tank today with some goldfish and some eels. The eels are about 7 inches long and are about 3/4 inch tall. They are brown and their tail fins are broad. I know for a fact that they aren't tire tracks or spiny eels. They also have whiskers (six that go around their mouth) and they sometimes suck on the side of the tank. They are moderately aggressive when fed brine shrimp, but for the most part are mild mannered and stick together.

Any ideas of what they may be?

Thanks!!

I got a fighting fish about a week ago, and i just want to make sure im looking after him properly.
My sister told me to fill the bowl to only half way, so he gets more air. But there seems to be bubbles on the water surface, is this normal?
How active are these fish meant to be?
And what are some signs that he is getting sick?
I think he is healthy, i use rainwater in his bowl.
