He is fully grown. He hasn't eaten in 4 days. He used to let me feed him straight from the net, BUT NOW THE FOOD JUST FALLS ON HIS FACE.

I recently started a tank, after not doing fish for a few years. My ammonia has gone down to zero . That is testing just before the daily water change. The nitrite and nitrate are a different story. They have been stuck at 2 ppm & 20 ppm, respectfully. They have been this high for several weeks. This seems high to me, even for cycling my tank, but I don't think I should get rid of it ALL. Wouldn't that make the bacteria for the nitrite die or at least not multiply? Also What level should I try to keep them at? I understand zero is the target but what about during your initial cycle? Am I wrong in thinking that I want to have a little bit left in there to encourage bacteria growth?


Thank you.

ok thinking about getting a pet fish. i want something that is low-maintenance, clean, and 'hardy.' and i don't want a fish that i m going to have to feed live/frozen food too. i just wanna feed it with pellets/fish food whatever it's called. also is better/worse to use live plants in the aquarium. i am thinking of something in the 4-5 gallon range with 1 fish or more depending if it needs a school or not. any advice is appreciated!

I need something to eat algae in my 1 gallon bowl with about 10 fry. Will a snail be ok, and what kind of snail? I don't really want a snail because it can crwal right out of the bowl. Will a shrimp work? What kind? Any other ideas?

I have a 29 gallon tank that has been up and running for about 4 years. The last 2 years have been excellent, with only 1 fish lost. I have a glass fish that has been in the tank for about a year. Two days ago, I noticed it has a popeye on the left. On the same side of his body near the tail there is a patch of white, raised bumps about half the size of the pencil eraser. There is a pink area sitting just under the white bumps. (It looks almost like a tiny cluster of white grapes). There are no other spots on his body.

I treated the tank with Tank Buddies for bacterial infections, and it didn't seem to do any good. He is eating fine, and otherwise acting normal. And he can't be too bad yet because the catfish hasn't eaten him. (The catfish tends to dispose of weak fish).

Any ideas on what this might be and what I can do about it?

We are going threw a hot spell right now where I live, my aquarium temperature is currently 84 in both my tropical and goldfish tanks and both heaters are OFF. I have frozen gallon bags of water that I put in the tank to help cool it down I found that bags of ice cubes just melted to fast and I can re-use the whole frozen bags. My bags are also double wrapped as I had a problem earlier where the bag burst and the water went into my tank(it was untreated when it went it but I double treated my tank with tap water conditioner). Does anyone know of anything I can do besides the ice and water changes? I would really appreciate it thanks!

I've got about 12 guppy fry. I had them in a 2.5 gallon bowl for about 2 weeks, but all I had in one of my 10 gallon tanks were 2 cory's... So I put the fry in the 10 gallon with my cory's. I've got plenty of hiding spots for the fry, and my cory's seem to be minding there own business. I've also got a filter and good lighting for the tank... I've never had guppy fry before, but what can I do so they grow up to be healthy?

I'm in charge of running the "win a goldfish" booth at my camp's carnival on Friday. Some of the kids have already been telling me that the fish always die in a day or 2, which I know is because nobody cares for them the right way. I'd like to print up some easy instructions that I can hand out with the fish, but I admit I have no idea what to do with them either! Anyone know what I can suggest to these people? I know they are not all running to Petco to get a huge tank and filtration system....

Do I replace all the water from the bowl with fresh water once a week or change a little bit of it at a time?

I was told that I can only buy fish from one pet store for my tank, and if I mix fish from other stores, one group of fish would get ick. Is this true, or does the store only want me to shop there?

I own a 46 Gallon marine aquarium... I have had fish for about 5 days... I have checked my water qualities many times and my nitrate seems to be good... Today I checked it and it looks like its around 80!!!! Its usually around 20... I dont overfeed the fish so I dont understand why that would be like that! I did about a 5% water change and added some "prime" but it still seems high... The fish seem to be doing okay but I dont want to lose them! Last night I went to work and my mother forgot to turn off the lights... So the lights were on for about 18 hours! Could that have caused my nitrate to be so high? I have at least 100lbs of live rock and a 2 inch deep sand bed... If you have any questions just let me know. Thanks for your help!
