Fish - June 2007

I've seen them before... they grow in a little plastic tank set LIKE sea monkeys, but they're supposed to be "prehistoric fish" in freeze dried eggs. I wanted to buy them and can't think of what they're called!

my fish is just 1" in length in a 75 gallon tank. he does not have any companion except for my 2 plecos. i think that he isnt eating because the food that i gave him this morning (3 pcs of pellets) were unmoved. what shoud i do? the pellets that i give him is the usual food given by the original owner of the fish..

.. my first since getting my platys last Wednesday. I done 20%, and cleaned my gravel and filter too. All seems fine, the platys are happily nibbling everything and seem fine.. and...
EVERY single one of them is doing the biggest poop I have ever seen....!!!

The little buggers, I just get their tank nice and clean, and they poop in it as soon as I've finished...!!!

One question though - if my water tests are fine by the weekend, can I have a new fish put in? I'd like one male Betta..
I've had the platys a week, the tanks water results have been steady for 3 weeks now (my cycling process seems to have been helped along because this tank had other fish in it recently) ....so how long should I wait?

I have a 10 gallon tank and I have one betta fish in it. I plan on putting some of the following: cory catfish, tetras, guppies, algae eaters, golden apple snail, african dwarf frog, and nerite snail. I'm not going to put all of these animals in there, just some. I want to know what kind of sand or rocks could fit my tank and these animals. Specific names and details would be most appreciated.

I have multiple questions...

1) Can you reccomend a good budget aquarium for cold water fish? I love this: http://www.bi-orb.com/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_The_Bi_Orb_14.html
but can only really afford this: http://www.ukpetsupplies.com/Details.aspx?ProdId=1271&CatId=257&ParentId=181

2) How many fish can I keep in a small tank? I don't want them to be uncomfortable.

3) Does it matter that my home is hot in the summer and cold in the day during the winter?

Sensible advice much appreciated :)

I have a 20gal tank and I think I'm going to go freshwater. I'm thinking of getting 2 goldfish and some smaller fish. What should the smaller fish be?

My question is this. I have a top filtration with the charcoal type filter. The only air in the tank is the bubbles created by the water dripping from the top mounted filter. Should I get a smaller air pump for this tank? I have a 55 gallon tank which is mine...LOL I keep it aerated. The 5 gallon is my wife's. It seems like the goldfish die quick.

why do people report violations for no reason? if you dont want others opinions, then why are you on yahoo answers asking questions? do you think everyone that answers is going to give you the answer you want to hear?
yahoo answers should have a screening process for kids and idiots, lmao

I have a 55 gallon with 4 Rainbowfish. I am thinking of adding 3 bala sharks. I realize that they will outgrow this tank, and plan to upgrade as they grow (next tank 125). I know that bala's are not agressive, but that my rainbowfish can be. Does anyone see any potential problems with this setup?

my fish, a new upside down cat, was bought yesterday along with a pair of baby yoyo loaches and some ghost shrimp. but while the yoyo loaches acclimated no problem, the catfish went crazy! swimming in large circles around the tank, and only stopped when i turned off the light. but he's still shaking. what's wrong?

I have a male betta in a five gallon filtered tank with a heater set a 80F. i had a pleco in with him and they were fine together but the pleco died. I know i should not have had him in there. now i know anyway. My question is can a cory cat and a male betta live together or will they fight?

Just got 9 tetras: 3 each of painted white, black skirt and red eye. I want to add more, maybe something with more colour, and something that let my tetras live in peace, and have no idea what to put into my aquarium. Any help will be appreciated.

hi, i just noticed some changes in my tank.. since i don't have gravels in my tank, i can see if there would be any accumulation of dirt at the bottom right? and here's the bad thing, i just found out that there are small worm like creatures on the bottom of the tank... what are they? and my fish is now suffering from itch... what's the best thing that i should do? i have a flower horn but is still very young.


i hope you do reply and answer...
