Fish - June 2007

my oscar will only occupy the right side of my 55g tank. he is alone with a pleco. he only stays on the side next to my bed. i hardly ever see him on the other side. and the odd part is all the live plants and rocks are on the left side where he can hide. does any one else have this problem?

i have had a danio a and some sort of tetra die from what i think is some sort of gill disease. after their death and maybe before and i just didnt notice but their gills are red and a little before their anus on their belly they have an opening that looks almost like something had eatten through it and around that it was red too. i was wondering if maybe they could have some parasite too??? i have been doing water changes every week to lower my nitrates which have been high and the pH is 7.0. i have a heater and an air stone and no other problems that i know of. if you have any other questions you can email me at eat-sleep-ride@comcast.net.
♥thanks in advance♥

Whenever I put my face really close to my Betta's 1.5 gallon aquarium, its gills widen. Is it scared of me?

My male betta seems to blow a lot of bubbles. The bubbles are not clumped together, so I don't think it would be a bubble nest. When I watch it swim, every so often it will blow a small bubble which rises to the surface of the water. Is this normal?

He's a blue Betta. All blue, except two tiny bits of red at the front that you can't even see unless you're actually looking for it.

I have two goldfish in a large tank and the water is cloudy again. I don't think we added enough in the begining and I want the water clear again. I want to add it with out taking the fish out but will the initial pouring in the substance be too much for them and kill them?

I thought my one 10-15 Gallon filter was broken so I bought another one. I am not able to return it, so would it benefit the tank to keep both of the filters running in there? Like keep it cleaner and require less water changes?

Thanks a lot, I appreciate any help.

I would like to have some kind of fish in my out side urn / planter pot. What kind of fish is the best and what kind of set up do I need for fish to be healthy? Why some inside Gold fish are OK with tiny vase and water without pump or filter? Anyway, can I just throw some kind of fish in my urn / planter pot and will be OK?

I am planning on using urn / planter pot as a above ground pond. Then decorate it with Bamboo water fall kit with a pomp which will generate an oxygen. I am also planning on putting water plants in the pot. Then finally a Koi (small 5" ones). Okey, what else do I need to keep the Koi healthy and going ? The care, any tip would greatly appreciate it.

Can a fish be saved from this condition and is there a name for it?? Is this just stress? I have a 220 gallon aquarium that has been up and running for months. I have other cichlids, however it did not seem to be extensively bothered by the previous fish in the tank. I do not have access to another tank to try to cure him and I dont think buying medicine to treat that much water is practical but I did wonder if this fish might be saved??

i read alot of the bottles of food i buy or the frozen food packages or even the live food.Most of them say feed what your fish will eat withen 3 to five minutes and suck ou t the rest. They also say feed 2 to 3 times daily.Is this too much food m fish eat it and im careful not to eover feed or at least what i think would be over feeding. I've also read that feeding your fish too much can make them fat and deformed. I also want to know is it a good idea to let your fish fast at least for one day a week. I know they wont die without food for one day or at least i think i know um yeah thanks

30 gallon tank. Long not tall.

Is this a good set up???
I was thinking this for a 30 gallon tank.

3 turquoise danios
2 Mickey Mouse platies (1 male 1 female)
- I'll probably give away or sell the fry or let them defend for themselves in the tank.
5 Neon tetras
2 african drawf frogs
1 female betta

and acouple of plants. Gravel on the bttom of the tank.
And a bubble curtain and filter.

What else (if it's not over crowded) can I add???
Are fake or live plants better???


Thanks for your answers : )

They have really big goldfish and really tiny ones at petsmart. Why are some so big and others so small? There the same kind of fish. Will the small ones grow to the size of the big ones with time?
