I have a ten gallon tank with a hood but the water is evaporating at about half a gallon a week. I read that it's bad to just add new water to a tank without taking water out because it changes the water quality. Is this true? Can I simply pour in de-chlorinated water when the water level runs low?

Are the male bettas the only ones that fight? I just read that you can include a few females in one aquarium. What's the deal?

I bought it from a friend who got it with the house he bought. Its huge (6ft in length) and I need to know how many gallons it is so that I can measure the stuff I need to add to the water when I set it up.

I have a 30 gallon tank that has three platys and four male guppies. Can I put some female bettas in the tank? If so, how many?

Also, it's a tall tank. Does that matter to the bettas? Will they swim to the bottom? How deep is too deep for bettas?

I have a nice 35 gallon tank. A tiger barb, small, two mollies, small, an angel fish, small again and a tiny yellow long fish, not sure what kind. I bought a good size 4 inch algae eater, great condition and very healthy and much bigger then all the rest. It is GONE. I have read that maybe a cat got it, which I have cats. But my tank is always closed and even if the cat did jump up and would keep the cover closed with pressure from the cat being on it. I looked around the tank and behind it, it is nowhere. I did not clean the tank since I bought it, so it did not get sucked up with the vacuum. My other fish are too small to attack it. It's not in the filter...so I am dazed and confused. Is it under the gravel? The tank is in a high visible area so we WOULD notice fish parts around if it died or if the other fish decided to risk it and attack it. But they all got ALONG...I just don't understand...can anyone offer any help besides what I already know...??? Help please..Diane

I have two Convicts and one is about 5 inches long, the other about 8 inches. I just purchased a small pleco that's about 3.5 inches long. Do you think the Cons will eat the pleco? If so, what size pleco should I get?

I notice my koi had some injuries near the mouth and on the body. Naturally I thought its another fish (of diff breed) attacking it. Its the only one of a diff breed fish that I mix with 5 of my koi. So I gave that fish away. A week later, i notice the mouth injuries is gettign worst along with bleeding fins. Please advise. What causes this?? I have light squarish plastic ornaments in the pond too. Though its not sharp edged at all, do you think it causes the injuries? What shd I do? Any medicine. Pls help. It pains me to see him like this. Tentatively I put him in another plc, away from the other koi till he has healed.
