Can anyone suggest what tropical fish food I buy for blue fish? For example Blue Discus, Blue Badis Badis, Blueish Angelfish, blue shrimp etc etc?

I have a clear/white Mollie and a black Mollie. A month or so ago her belly started growing so I thought she was pregnant. I put her in a breeding net, but still no babies. Its been awhile and her belly has gotten bigger... Now her back looks arched and her belly looks kind of square at the bottom, but since it has been so long I am wondering if maybe I was wrong and should put her back in with the other fish. Anyone have an advice? I don't know much about fish so please don't be technical!

I have an Eclipse system 12 that I am setting up as a nano tank. It has 20lbs of live sand in it, along with 6lbs of live rock. I am planning on adding another 6lbs tomorrow. I added bio-zyme to it today (it is the first day that it has been running), and plan to continue every day for 7 days per the instructions. My question is how long till the tank is cycled? Also, when I can start adding invertebrates (like shrimp and hermit crabs)? How long after than can I add fish? I am wanting to have 2 false percula (sp?) clowns, a clown goby, a shrimp or two (depending on what kind I decide to go with), a few feather dusters, and hermit crabs. Is that too much? I know that I cannot add all of them a once, but that I should add the clowns at the same time. I have had experience with salt tanks in the past, but it has been a while and I have never had a tank that small. Thank you for your help.

I have had a betta for about a year now and the other day the thing was swimming around on its side and upside down, I thought for sure the thing was going to die, so I said a few kind words went to bed and got up the next morning to find that it had figured out which way was up and was swimming perfectly normal. Anyone else have this happen???

I have other fish in there and they swim normal...not wobbly. My two molly's shake a little I haven't noticed it before but I have to look closely to really see it. My ph and ammonia levels are safe, filtration is good, and all the other fish seem great.
I just don't know if all molly's are this way or just mine....I would think they had a little stroke...if that's even possible for fish....any help?
Also, my Molly's, guppies, and platy's nip at the tank ornaments and then quickly rub their body over the smooth parts, it looks like their way of cleaning or itching themselves, it's kinda cute...should I be worried about that?
thanks a bunch.

My friends and I just bought a lobster from walmart to keep as a pet. The people at the store didnt know anything about it since everyone buys t hem to eat. Does anyone know how we can keep it alive? what kind of water we can use? what to feed it? Will it stay alive tonight? we put it in the bathtub with some salt (no iodine) and we fed it chunky ragu spaghetti sauce... thats the best we could do

I'm still rather new to my black mollies, but when I got them home, their poop was a normal yellowish color. Now, I noticed it is more of a neon pinkish orangeish. I feed them tetracolor. But what does the flourescent waste mean? Is it bad or okay?

I have this new reef ready aquarium. It comes with a sump, pump, a few powerheads, a protein skimmer, lights, filter, heater, and crush corals. At first I wanted to turn it into a freshwater tank with a few frontosa, but all of the other equiptment will be wasted. Can you guys tell me what else im missing other than salt and live rocks. I dont know how much salt to put in it. Also can you guys tell me what is the annual cost of running a saltwater fish tank. I'm planning to make it a fish only aquarium with a few pounds of live rock and live sand. I prefer to have one or 2 lion fish only.

Ok so I have an African Dwarf frog in my tank. I am pretty sure they breathe oxygen so I was think could I evovle my frog? I know that for it to live it must not dry out so I would like to prove it with moisture other then just a tank of water. I also know that when you are in water you are lighter and so the frog may have a hard time because it has weaker muscles that work under water and not on land. I think that if I slowly make it have less water then it will possibly adapt. What are your thouhts on this? Is there anything I have over looked?

First off, I will be honest. I have been neglecting my oscar slightly recently. I feed him maybe once a week, although, This has been the case for years, and he has done fine. I have been slacking in the water changeouts. About a week ago, "moldy/foamish" looking stuff began to form around decayed food in the corner. I thought nothing of it, and prepared to change out the water the next day. The next day I was unable to change it due to an emergency work call , all day yesterday, the fisgh was laying on his side, near dead, with a white fungus/mold all over him, and his fins appeard to be "rotting" away. We did a 10 gallow change out(out of 30 gallons) last night, and another 10 gallon last night, in hopes it would help, and as of now, there is still minimal signs of life among the fish.

Please help

Well, as the question states, I have a male Silver Mollie Fish with a red mouth. Right below his mouth is a big red spot. He doesn't look in pain and is eating reguarly. If it is a scratch, what sould I do? if it's something more serios than a scratch, also, WHAT SHOULD I DO???

I have a 2.5 gallon PLASTIC hospital tank, but i don't want to chance using it. All the fish I've put in there have died, including th mother to my sick mollie. :( I think it's due to a whitish film that forms over the top of the water and comes out of the filter. iv'e cleaned it over and over again, but the white film comes back. What causes this? I can't use my hospital tank until this is fixed. I wonder if it has something to do with it being plastic....

PLEASE HELP ME! I CAN'T AFFORD TO LOOSE MY MOLLIE! ALL HELPFUL (stress on HELPFUL!) ANSWERS APPRECIATED!

I discovered about a week ago that my fish has fungus. I started treating him with a fungus eliminator last Friday, and it's one that you use every 4 days, so he's gotten 2 treatments so far. About how long does it take for the fungus to clear up? The fish itself has been acting better, he's eating again and has been more active but the fungus doesn't look like it's really gone down at all.
