Fish - July 2007

should i remove the gravel from my fishbowl if my fish is sick/dying...my fish is lying mostly on its side and getting up every now and then...i've heard there is beneficial bacteria in the gravel or something...could it be dying/sick because of the gravel?

I just got a black molly a couple weeks ago and she's been not as active since the day I bought her. A couple days ago I noticed white spots circling around both eyes, and what appears to be white flaky skin around her gills. I've read about the different diseases that these fish are prone to,but I can't seem to find the answer. I feed her the flakes and use the aquarium salt along with drops for the water. Can anybody help me?

What do you suppose would happen to my glass fishtanks in the event of an earthquake say 7.0 on the rictor scale? (These are full of water and fish). What about a smaller earthquake? I imagine an acrylic tank would be ok. Maybe this is an advantage to acrylic? Has anyone had experiences with their fishtanks in an earthquake? Did your tank(s) hold up?

My glass ones are: one 55gal, one 38gal, one 45-50hex, and one 10gal if it makes a difference.

I also have 3 med/small acrylic tanks but I would think those would be ok, don't you?

Any imput is welcome.

(I'm curious on this matter and want to be prepared for the possible if not unlikely event of a natural disaster)

I have 6 small tiger barbs (2 green, 2 albino, and 2 regular) in a 10 gal. tank ( they're less than an inch long, but I know they'll get bigger, so I'm in the process of moving them into a 20 gal.). Once they're in the bigger tank I plan to get a couple of other fish. My choices right now are pictus catfish or bala sharks are these compatible with tiger barbs?

If not, what are some compatible fishes that I can add to the tank?

I just did my first water change for my fish tank (about 40% of the water), but now it seems my fishes are swimming REALLY active and almost seems like its saying "Save ME!"...it reallys wierd...but they are swimming very fast, much faster than normal and constantly moving around. Is something wrong?

Also, I have the fluids that kills chlroine in the water, and it says to use every water change. Do I need to take out my fishes before using it? If so, for how long? THANKS A LOT!!

I understand there are different corals and methods so I guess I’m asking on various methods and coral species. Like what’s one of the fastest corals to propagate? And what’s one of the easiest?

I have this gross fuzzy dark green algae in my tank and i heard that the siamese algae eater can fix my problem. The algae is really really hard to get off. I have to rip it off with my fingers cause scurbbing can't get the job done.

What are some premium brands of flaked fish food that I can feed my discus. They don't eat just flaked food, they mainly eat frozen bloodworms, and occasionally live brine shrimp or live blackworms.

Hello, I am new with aquariums. Actually, I've never had one. I have heard of people talking about Nitries, Nitrates, pH levels, Alkalinity, and Hardness. What does all of this mean. What is recommended and how can I test it or change it? I have been doing research but I couldn't find any answers directly. Please help me, any help is appreciated.

Ok well i have decided to breed my male and female betta fish. My question is, whenever he sees her he makes himself look big and it kinda looks like he is going to attack her but they cant touch eachother becuase they are in a tank that has a piece of glass in the middle so they have eye contact but not physical contact. Is this normal? Is this his way of dancing around on his nose for her? I also have another question. Where can i go on the internet to get correct info and steps on breeding Bettas. Also, If you are a betta breeder i would like to email you with questions if you dont mind.
